our 24x24 garage is in the same boat. We insulated one corner when I put in an air compressor, and we just got done putting in an insulated dor. The door itself has made a gigantic noticable difference immediately. We have a hommade 33-year-old barrel stove, that gets things to a useable...

looking around, it seems like there's not a lot of internet parts for those, everything seems to go back to Vogelzang. Even Northern Tool looks like it carries their kits, although they used to have a different one... maybe try usstove.com, they sell a barrel kit for 66 bucks, maybe they sell...

In our woodburning barrel stove, we burn oil a couple different ways. We've got a 1/4" U-channel that we welded 1/4" ends onto, forming a pan, and that sits on the bottom of the barrel, and when we decide to burn some used oil, we just dump a quart or so into it. it keeps the oil from being...

We've got a barrel stove in my father's garage, which used to be our home furnace when I was growing up. I don't remember the brand of the kit, I'll have to look into it. We're still using the original barrel from when we built it over 35 years ago. It was built with a "heavy-duty' drum, not...

We just bought a 16x7 door, with an R-value of 12.9 , with track/hardware/torsion spring, for $654 +tax at Menards. Just carry-out, installing ourselves (not even close to worth the money to have someone else do it). an inch and three-eighths thick, I don't remember the steel thickness right...

I just got a 13-drawer laast weekend also, using the $349 coupon. Seems to be okay, although the green (Masterforce? I can't remember) 26" from Menards is definitely more sturdily built. But for only treeFiddy, it's a great box that will probably last quite a few years.... --sarge

scrap wood and 20 minutes to use an otherwise empty space... Nothing grand, for sure. I've got about 60+ tires for different cars that I end up stacking elsewhere just because of the lack of space. This is the "upcoming tire change" spot, if I know I'll be going to an event...

if it comes that close, I just use the open end of the wrench. In that case, chances are high that the bolt itself won't come all the way out either, so the engine/whatever might have to be raised/lowered/moved in some way anyways. in which case, it might turn into using a standard...

*** Edit *** Whoa, sorry 'bout resurrecting an old thread, I just happened to come across it through Google and didn't check the date. *** I've had my friend's tools in my garage for the duration of his army enlistment. he's got a set of Blackhawk (by Proto, but I think MAC and/or Stanley...

I had some unused space above my compressor, and some scrap wood laying around, so I just slapped something together. it gets four of them off the floor, where I normally just lay some cardboard on the floor, and stack the tires on top. it helped quite a bit, actually. At any given time, i've...

They ARE heavy, and HUGE!. But, my tire changer (Hunter TC3500) likes a lot of air, like 12.4cfm@135psi according to the manual. Milton's site says most 1/4" fittings will handle approximately 40scfm, 3/8" fittings will do 60scfm, and 1/2" fittings exceed 60scfm. Interestingly enough, it also...

Schraeder valve removal a definite must. Won't work otherwise. My fairly inexpensive compressioin tester actually had a regular Type M fitting on it, made it a breeze to use for keeping the valves up. Nice note on the GM warning. I can see how that could happen if one isn't careful. That's...

I just plumbed the garage for my new compressor, and for a couple disconnects (hose reel and tire machine), I'm using this style, from Sears: The description says, "For use with all 3/8-in. automotive and universal quick-connect couplers and plugs." I'm not really sure what Milton type...

For keeping the valves seated and not dropping, I like to put some soft nylon rope in the cylinder, but you can also use a compression tester hose to fill the cylinder with air. as for a tool, there's one you can get for about 40 bucks from snap-on, it's an AWESOME little tool.... works...

What about just adding another sensor at the bottom of the garage door, that triggers the existing obnoxious chime? Or, splitting the output of the existing sensor, so that it goes to the chime AND to the garage door? This way, if someone walks or drives through it, the chime sounds. if the...

slightly more specific: If you're using the Mozilla Firefox web browser (highly recommended): right-click on the photo, and select "copy image location". Then type the first . voila! so, if you click on this link, you'll see a photo of the RallyBuick™ in action. So then you right-click on...

is the car in running condition, and being driven? After a drive, put some penetrating oil on the nuts. do this for a few days. if you've got the time. if you don't have the time, use a torch to heat'em up, then put the penetrating oil on. (I use PB blaster, but Kroil is good too. WD-40, not...

I've actually got a belt guard, just haven't got it put on yet. Between getting the tension/alignment right, and adjusting the drive sheave, and wanting to get a set of new belts, I just haven't put it on. It's not the stock piece, it weighs about 40 lbs, and seems to be made of 1/8" plate...

My Quincy (325) uses a 5hp motor running at 1725rpm, and I've got the drive sheave (aka pulley), which is adjustable, set at its max diameter of 5.5", so my pump's running at 593rpm or so. It was at 4.5" initially, running the compressor at 485rpm. Sounded like an old John Deere, lol! Just...
