yeah, thanks... i fear telling my wife my concerns as she believes i'm already being unreasonable on the size and ceiling height of the 'shop'... anyway, i found this info in my bid • 10 Year Engineered Foundation • Post Tension Cable • 3000 p.s.i. • Standard Drops at Porches and Garage •...

Post-Tension Concrete Foundation and a Lift Updated 31-March. see post 24 Hello All, We are in the process of designing a new house for my wife and myself. Up until just a day or two I gave no thought on the foundation construction other than just the thickness. The lift manuals Ive been...

reserection: bring this back up as I'm also 6'4" and planning on a 2-post. I'm needing a lift as my back is going bad and I certainly don't want to give up my garage activities nor do I want to hunch over when working under the lift. Then bend pak sure seems to be the way to go.... if you are...

Milton, really? i bought a couple of those couplers and one leaked air constantly, no matter what male fitting i used it with. 50% fail rate. Now, I suppose it could have been a problem w/ one of my other fittings but I have not noticed anything in particular about the tool/male fittings I...

the wheel wells on a suburban and tahoe are just over 48" wide..... just in case you need to carry a 4x8 sheet. 44" should fit uncrated

It doesn't sound like you'll be doing much with your compressor. I think the smaller ones will serve your needs. In addition to my regular air compressor, I have this little guy (representative picture, not mine) 1.5HP(?) 4gallon Campbell Hausfeld it could run on/off all day long without...

made some brake ducts for my Firebird, w/ a TA front bumper. I didn't want to cut extra holes for using some of the typical dirt track ducts, they wouldn't fit well on the bumper curvatures anyway. I trimmed the fog light holes some (coulda done a better job there) made a cardboard template made...

I have the locking flex head 88T version. I think it is fantastic. so much so I try to use it less to preserve it. go figure. My ma worked for nasa in the jet propulsion facility and she said that is the tools all the hardware folks liked i.e. aerospace... I need more of their stuff edit...

Two buddies. One is a rescue, the bigger one, about 12 years? not sure. 2nd we got as a pup. They are very rarely apart. typically they hang out front while I create more scrap metal in the garage.

i havent done oxy/acet but have filled multipe C25 and Ar bottles. Basically the same idea, if you have their bottles then exchange is no problem. maybe call a few local places and see if they have the small bottles and just go there for them. after that, you just pay for the exchange. my...

pretty cool indeed. i noticed these welds. looks like tig of the v-band to cast iron manifolds, but w/ the look of each 'dime' and color perhaps its mig w/ successive quick trigger pulls? do you expect any issues w/ the weld over time given the cast iron, high temps, and heat cycling in...

PIcked up a new 200DX a month or so ago. After weeks of burning holes in aluminum, using lots of Ar, and making lots of scrap I finally started a project. I'm making some aluminum brake duct plenums for my CMC car. I'm using adapters made by a fellow race which allows use of C5/C6 SKF racing...

The miller MVP, the best of both words. a year down the road you'll forget about the price difference. I have a 220 Mig and there were many times I wish it ran on 120 for portability, yet i very rarely did anything thicker than 1/8". If 120 OR 220, and given you indication of mostly thin...

Basic JET band saw, strangely enough I had to order this from a local woodshop place a number of years back. I plopped in a new plate for vertical service which really helped. Not much else for changes. I do use this quite a bit and think its fantastic, other than adjustments to getting it...

In conjunction with going through a few regulators over the years and totally fed up with **** consumer tools, in general, I wanted something good. I came across this on Granger and noted "Country of Origin United States Of America" as well as a brass body instead of cast aluminum or steel...

Hung two new Taiwanese fenders on my Canadian built hot rod. also put on a 'new' nose and rear bumper.

I snapped my band saw blade this afternoon... picked one up at Lowes after an evening errand. put a big dent in my garage activities.

any specific reasons it has to be ceiling mounted or auto retractable? thats what I originallyl wanted. However I ended up w/ the manual wind version and put it on the wall. I have a ceiling mounted retractable shop light. I much prefer winding the air hose at a chest level manually than the...

I have one like this, mine is quite sturdy. It is great for changing bulbs, reaching up high, or even sitting on! perfect height for a low bench such as an impromptu saw horse bench. its great because it folds up and sits behind the door and a wall (90deg max opening due to wall) where not...

yowza! $5k is a big negative. I'll check them out though. when the race car is on the left side, there is only 28" from the nose (right about where that step/ledge is) to my work bench. work bench is only 22" or so deep. wow, beyond this topic, i really need to spend some time this weekend...
