    Nice improvement! Is the light on the outside or inside of the cabinet?

    What size is my arbor press?

    Just picked up an arbor press at an estate sale yesterday. There's a Made in China sticker on it but absolutely no other markings. I'm guessing its about a 3 ton unit and shown are the dimensions. It's 23 inches tall, 18 inches long and 8 inches wide. Any ideas? And maybe a mfgr? Thanks!

    What's this wrench for?

    I got this at an estate sale and was wondering if it's for a Model T or something from that era. The open end is a 9/16" and the large opening measures 2 7/16" across the flats. No markings whatsoever on the wrench. What do you think? I should add that it's definitely not homemade.

    Adding man door to garage

    So, what exactly is a security hinge? A quick check on the HD site shows hinges with a nub on one plate and a hole to receive the nub on the other. Is the idea that if the pin is removed, the plates still cannot be separated?

    Gate post support

    Ha! Good question! I guess it'll only work with the gate closed. After that, it hangs in the air. :o

    Gate post support

    The other side of the wall is just studs and drywall. Unfortunately, the wife will in NO WAY let me change out the post so I'm stuck there, but all good ideas. I like the wheel support idea because eventually there will be a concrete driveway underneath. Big stud through the wall with...

    Gate post support

    Yeah, post (6 x 6) is in concrete. Single layer of brick. It would be ideal if there was a stud right behind the brick I plan to drill in to. I'll have to investigate. Hmm, multiple 'L's. I like that, for now. Let's see what others have to say. Thanks all, so far.

    Gate post support

    The hinges aren't adjustable. They're just lag bolted to the door and the post. Do you think whatever anchor bolts I use to attach the strapping to the brick will pull out eventually?

    Gate post support

    Hi all, I've got a newly installed fence around the property with a gate (double door) on one side. I asked them to make the gate doors slightly bigger to keep my opening as wide as possible. Works fine up until recently, I now find the latch binding badly and it's due to the post leaning...
