Ordered the stuff to do a generator connection from my portable generator. Weather is getting worse around here every year and we sometimes lose power for 6+ hours. Generator is a Coleman 6K, according to the panel is it already floating neutral, I will verify. 220v plug is a L14-20 Inlet is...

These are not getting used, time to pass them on: 9x20 Lathe - Had a Northern Tool sticker, dated early 90s. Same as the grizzly G4000. Runs fine, needs some of the gears, a bushing to get the autofeed to work and some cleaning on the tailstock. Switch works but needs a new knob. Extra belts...

Getting used to this whole TIG with a foot pedal and HF Start thing. Welding last night and had a couple questions issues that I could use some help on Machine - Miller 330 a/bp - Set to the 20-250 setting at ~60 power, HF start, Argon at 20 CFH 1/16 red tungsten in a CK Gassaver with pyrex cup...

My shop is below my house, roughly 2000 sq ft. The design is mostly open with a staircase dividing one third and 4x4 metal uprights spaced around 12-20' apart. Kinda looks like this, but the walls are not in yet. Those will be for the workout room, wife's craft room and the gun/reloading room...

Cleaning out the shop, bunch of random stuff. For pickup only items I can meet around North Ga, and I work in Smyrna Let me know if you have any questions. In a mood to sell so offers are highly considered, especially for trade on smaller items. Festo Pnuematic Actuators, Manifold and Square...

My house came with a 24x24 pole barn that I am working on fixing up. Eventually it will become the main auto work garage, but for now I am trying to make it a decent storage place for the chumpcar, tractor, ATV, etc. Aside from the missing/eaten walls the next biggest issue is the floor. The PO...

Getting married in May, our friend are throwing us a "Bedroom and Basement" shower. Lingerie and Tools, basically. I have been tasked with adding some tools to our registry, pretty much the amazon one. I have added several things, but want to have plenty of items in the $10-$50 range, since it...

Has anyone made their own interlock plate for adding generator inputs? I would like to utilize 2 of the spots on my meter panel for a generator inlet. I have found one interlock kit that may work, but they want almost as much as adding a seperate panel. Looking at how they work it seems really...

Getting back into woodworking and rather enjoying it. Right now I have one of these Ryobi ones http://www.ryobitools.com/catalog/power_tools/all_saws/RTS30 I got it cheap and at the time it fit nicely in my small shop. Changing the blade did wonders, however the fence has to be aligned on both...

Seen a bunch of threads on jack stand storage but only a few posts on storage Motorcycle or Transmission jacks. I have both, and while they are great when you need them they are always in the way when you don't. The mc jack is particularly annoying, mine is flat other than the cylinder that...

So I picked up Miller 330a/bp TIG a few weeks back. Started hooking it up so I can get up a welding. Power was no issue, but when I went to connect the gas to my existing tank/regulator I discovered the correct fitting on the welder had been removed and a pipe fitting installed, and a pipe...

I seem to be collecting welding gas cylinders. At current I have the oxy/ace, 2 330 ft3 with argon, 1 80 with argon and a 20 or 40 with nitrogen. I have a MIG setup in the upstairs and TIG downstairs. I am running down a couple of them and realizing that there is probably a better assortment to...

So after a year of searching and several missed oppertunities I found me a real tig. I have been doing scratch start with a harbor freight buzzbox for a while, so I hope that it won't take me long to learn the foot pedal. The machine is a Miller 330a/bp, tested it out and the HF start worked...

I have 2 of the northern tool hose reels, they work great. After I moved I put one in the garage and one in the woodworking shop. Both have the included rubber hoses currently. The rubber hose is great in the garage where it gets rolled over, stepped on, etc. In the wood shop it is so heavy that...

For my airline? J/K, mine are all copper and not going to start that fight I am adding a sink to my basement shop. Currently line around about 10' Away overhead. Plumbing is going to be interesting since it will backup against a slab wall, but it's a shop. Current lines are all CPVC. Was...

Moved into my house in January. It has a wonderful unfinished basement, around 2000 sq ft. The only obstacals are 4x4 metal supports (6) and the central stair case. I have tons of hobbies, so everything is logically broken into: Woodworking Metalworking/machining Guns RC/Electronics Workout...

Calling the Solar Experts: I have a 20x20 shed/barn about 100 yards from the house. Long term plan is to run 100amp service out there, but that is down the road in terms of cost and other necessary projects. Currently I use it for storage (car, lawnmower, generator, misc shop tools) and it...

Just won a process oven in an auction, plan on using it for powder coating and painting. Here it is: http://www.atlbid.net/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi?robinhuff1/379 The electrical plate states that it requires 208V Single Phase 12.5a. Is there a real difference between 208V and 240V that I need to...

So I was hitting up the Home Depot clearance section and the had 2 100ft rolls of 3/4 pipe. It was labeled "IPS Polyethylene" and rated for 160PSI. Given that I have to rerun all my airlines since moving, and this will be a much bigger setup the price was very tempting. Is this stuff safe for...

So after month of searching I finally found a metal lathe. Ended up getting for $165, which in this area is a steal. It needs a good cleaning, and only has the 3 jaw in the pics, but I can make up for that when you compare to the $2500 south bend bench models around here. Hoping that someone...
