I just picked up a Victor H315FC with a CA2450 cutting attachment. With the torches came a Victor SR460A acetylene regulator, and I bought this oxygen regulator: https://store.cyberweld.com/victor-oxygen-regulator-0781-9400.html Are these regulators sufficient for this torch? What's the...

Can anyone identify this torch handle and cutting attachment? What's it worth?

I was able to pick up a 250cf oxygen cylinder for $50 on Facebook, starting to look at torches. I know Victor, Harris, and Smith are the good stuff, but I'm just a home gamer on a budget. Are the harbor freight torches any good? This kit looks decent, how do I know what tips I can use with it...

Not sure if this is the best place for this thread, but you guys are awfully handy so I figured I could get some good info. I've got a 25' round above ground pool I'd like to build a deck around. I plan on pouring some kind of footer for the posts to sit on and back filling with dirt. I...

I need to run a 30amp/240v circuit to my panel. I see I've got an open hole at the top, can I just go ahead and run the wire through that? Do I need some sort of bushing or clamp? Is there a limit to how many circuits can be run next to each other in the attic? Thanks!

My electric service comes from a transformer on a pole on the road, to a main disconnect on a pole on my property next to the house (picture attached). Is it possible/safe/legal to wire a generator inlet to it? If so, this may be easier than wiring it to my panel. Also, my generator is only a...

Currently in the daydreaming phase, but one day I would like to build a 30x50 shop with two 8'x8' insulated offices (size isn't what is important here, this is just what I'm thinking at the time.). These offices will be next to each other and share a wall, but separate. I plan on using a...

It seems like I have heard that red iron buildings are generally less expensive than a pole barn. Is that correct, or did I misread this information? Also, would this include the different concrete costs? Seems to me like the concrete for a red iron building would be much more complicated than...

Once I get moved into my new place I would like to wire it up for a generator. I haven't closed on it yet, so I'm not sure of all of the specifics. I'm mainly curious about wiring from the panel to the inlet. I currently have a 120V/30A inverter generator but will be setting it up such that the...

I'm starting to plan my shop build, and I will want to have internet out there (currently have 200 Mbps fiber service but could go up to gig). It will be about 150ft from the house. I will have a WAP in the main portion of the shop for general use, but also plan to have a small office that will...

I'm finally getting to buy the small acreage in the country I've always wanted, which means I finally have room for a shop. I'm thinking 30x40, and I'll put in a little office in there somewhere down the road. I'll need to pay someone to prepare the site and pour the concrete, and will likely...

Hey all, I just moved into a new house, and the support post in the garage doesn't seem to be doing anything. A piece of paper can slide between the post and the I beam. Is this common? The post really disrupts the flow of the garage, but I imagine it is there for a reason. Sent from my...

Hey all, Currently working out of a 30x36 pole barn, uninsulated. I am renting, so at this point I will not be insulating it. I would like to be able to get some work done out there in the winter so I'm looking at heating options. Originally I was thinking a propane torpedo heater. Do those...

Hi all, I've got a 20T Harbor Freight press that I bought last year, worked no problem. I went to use it to press a cylinder sleeve back into a motor and the jack refuses to pump. Found out it was way low on fluid so I filled it up, opened the release valve, and pumped to bleed the air out...

Hey all, So my 30 x 36 shop is finally ready to move-in. The place I'm at is a rental so I'm trying to make the most out of what I've got. The landlord has 4 fixtures in the building currently with the parabolic style bulbs (see below). Since I don't own the place I won't be installing any...

Hey all, looking for a riding lawn mower for less than $500. Doesn't need to be pretty, just needs to work. I'm in Northwest Missouri. Thanks! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

New here from Northwest Missouri! In my garage I'm a woodworker, a welder/fabricator, a car/motorcycle/boat mechanic and I'm fairly inadequate at all of them. Can't wait to learn something here! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
