EMT is acting as the ground and is allowed by coded. As for the other observation...... nice catch:)

You need to know your tank size. I used CFM Calculator from the google play store on my android phone. For a reference my T30 model 253 made 17.71 cfm when starting at zero and going to 125psi in 7minutes 42 seconds. I haven't calculated the cfm in a working environment yet.

On Saturday a buddy called me to go check out some "tools" from a guy here knew who is moving unexpectedly and selling a bunch of stuff. He has 10 primo pieces of almost new wood working tools. Most is stuff I already have but here is the saw I am thinking of getting from him. He is letting...

Ok, so things around home have kept me out of the garage for a while but I stole a few minutes away and got a little wiring done. Back in March I added a new sub-panel and ran conduit all over. No pictures of that project but here is what I started with yesterday. This is between the two...

Polexican, no I never thought of that. Huh. Not a bad idea. I will have to think about that some more. 900lbs won't be fun to move. There is a "5th" bay on the right side of the garage that's enclosed with deck lattice and the deck above. It's not water tight yet but I do have some metal...

Hey guys thanks for the kind words. I have been super busy the last couple of days with worK and am way behind in some mntx at the rentals so that's where I have disappeared too. Klogan and Nutts - the upstairs is unfinished 16x48 with a 12x24 deck. The worst part is its full of **** and...

Kev, great thread, I enjoyed reading all 27 pages today. I learned a lot about riveting from you and thought I would share a tip with you. When cutting or drilling aluminum plate keep a small puddle of WD-40 at the bit or blade. It will speed up the process and make your bits last much long...

Another idea I had today when making room for the Misses 2nd car was to mount my dust collector above the tablesaw side table. The pros would be its still close to the dust and I get floor space back. The cons are it will be harder to empty and my cause shadows or just be a general eyesore. I...

I got a few things done in the garage today. First I finished the welding cart - but forgot to snap a good picture. I will post one tomorrow. Then a buddy came over and we built a shelf over the air compressor to hold the dryer. I have been toying with the idea of enclosing the compressor...

So wholley-****! It's only October 20th and its SNOWING!!!! So Mrs. JTCREP leaves for work at 3am tonight and with snow on the roads I have told her she "must" take her winter car......which was sitting outside. She then told me it "must" be in the heated garage tonight or no dice. So all...

Bob, thanks for giving me a little insight. However this unit appears to have a regulator and siphon tube. Its a two hose unit plus the vacuum line. I am e-mailing the manufacturer - lets see if they reply or just laugh amongst themselves. John

E-tek, Man you sure have a lot of things going on all at the same time. I just spent three days reading all 88 pages, and I gotta echo everyone else you do wonderful work and I want to thank you for taking the time to share. I learned a lot and look forward to hearing and seeing more.

I went on the company site and couldn't find much. I think it may be a cyclone separator blaster combo. I am hoping all I need to do is add a nozzle and sand. It came out of an industrial arts college in a mining town. I thought it was interesting that the switch is explosion proof. Is that...

I made a little progress on my welding cart today, just a little more paint. Man rustolemum paint can take forever to dry when it wants too.

A couple of years ago I bought this sand blasting unit at an auction. I don't really know anything about it, I can't find a model number. I haven't tried using it yet. Not sure what parts might be missing other than the nozzle. Not sure what nozzle to order either. Does anyone have any...

Hey guys, I am pretty new to garage journal and new into metal working. A couple of years ago I bought this sand blasting unit at an auction. I don't really know anything about it, I can't find a model number. I haven't tried using it yet. Not sure what parts might be missing other than the...

So I did a little more grinding on the welding cart than I orginally thought :sad: Even though I didn't get the expanded metal yet (hopefully tonight from a buddy) I had some time so I started painting. I like to keep things the original colors so I borrowed my color pallet from Hobart. Then...

Thank for all the comments guys! Ionh - The saw is really stable after I added the angled rebar on the motor side. I extended the legs past the pivot point of the motor so there is no chance of flipping. That is one of the things I HATED about the factory legs. The metal is all new...

Re: Garage Refurb Nutts, great thread! I really enjoyed all 71 pages of it although my garage was starting to get jealous. You've inspired me to start my own thread. Hope I can document everything as well as you do. Thanks for the motivation. Here's the link to the thread I've started...

Upndown, I'm in Hayward Wisconsin, Musky Capital of the World.
