    Weed wacker storage

    Two spring clamps spaced so one is over the handle and one is over the end of the shaft. If they are both on the shaft it will spin upside down.

    How do I handle a cupped butcherblock

    I set up a router jig over a butcher block to flatten it. Same way some guys plane large rough dawn lumber slabs. Sorry, didn’t read your post very well, this probably isn’t going to help

    Old Hog Shed to Shop Conversion. Where to Start!

    This is really my goal. Center of the room height, wall height doesn’t matter to me. There is also no roof venting at all, which will bring up insulation at some point. I could do an open loft and an insulated ceiling if that’s possible.

    Old Hog Shed to Shop Conversion. Where to Start!

    Yes, the posts are solid floor to ceiling. I’m not sure what the lifespan of lead headed nails are, but 95% of the roof is leak free and I will be repairing the leaking section properly before anything else is done.

    Old Hog Shed to Shop Conversion. Where to Start!

    @kevin54 Thanks for the input, if I was going to go to all that trouble I’d just build a new building.

    Old Hog Shed to Shop Conversion. Where to Start!

    Well, pulled the interior out to see what I’m working with. The rafters that are currently in the building are a joke and mostly non existent. Areas of the walls have clearly been cobbled over the years. I’m going to work out a plan to at least take out 2 sets of posts and probably leave the...

    Need new mower for 3 acres

    As far as mowers go, there’s a reason lawn care companies all use the same style ztr mower. They are the fastest way to get grass mowed in a professional way. 60” would be the sweet spot for 3 acres as long as narrow gates and the turf isn’t broken into small patches. Most larger shops around...

    Question about drainage for a retaining wall.

    Following the contour of the property on a wall like that will look pretty bad. Wall should be level.

    Old Hog Shed to Shop Conversion. Where to Start!

    Think I can get away with just leaving the 2 center posts? From my understanding the rafters provide the roofs structural integrity. Raising the ceiling 2 ft would make a world of difference. Then I could at least stand a sheet of plywood up.

    Old Hog Shed to Shop Conversion. Where to Start!

    Well, back to thinking about turning the building into a shop. Lets talk ceiling height. There are 6 posts that go all the way to the roof. There are 2x4s that connect to the posts lengthwise down the middle of the building. There are ceiling joists that run across the building with an open...

    Help I've got moles destroying my yard!

    Previous poster is correct, that’s vole damage, not mole damage. The tunnel around under the snow. Typically the grass fills back in pretty well once it stars growing. Otherwise it can be seeded in the spring if you skip the premergent in that small area.

    Hello, longtime reader, first time poster, finally have my own garage

    The good part of buying something you’ve lived in is you generally know what’s wrong with it and can work a deal accordingly.

    Evapo Rust on Binder/Tie-Down Chain

    I suppose you could throw them in a bucket and shoot them with a penetrating oil to stop the surface rust while they sit around. I guess I’ve never worried about surface rust on chains.

    Snap on discontinued tool lookup?

    Does anyone know if there is a place to lookup timelines of discontinued snap on tools. I’m not talking vintage stuff that is documented on collector forums. I’m guessing it comes down to looking through the old catalogs but making sure I’m not missing something.

    Decent price for this Table saw?

    I bought a unisaw a couple years ago, it took me a long time to find the right deal. I don’t know that I ever saw one in running condition for less than $600. That saw is old, but the unisaw has been a staple for a long time and parts are still easy to get. Old doesn’t mean bad either, just...

    Vehicle Positioning with a MaxJax - What a Pain!

    Can you hang a tennis ball from the ceiling in the center of the lift and stick a piece of tape to the hood center. Might be the dumbest idea on the forum since I have zero experience with a lift, If so, feel free to ignore.
