What's your thoughts on 1" x 2" frame with the screens stapled on the the frame work? Make then 3' wide x 12' tall. Maybe some foam rope [backer rod] for weather stripping. This goes over the screen to hold it down(?). Harry

An awful lot of work I know but what about covering your material with painters tape to protect the material while working it?

But you can buy your own kind of misery! Insert picture of an estate with your helicopter, Lamborghini, Hayabusa, and off shore sitting in your own lake! [Just a little 80's flashback for y'all] Or so I've been told! LOL! Harry

As for a toolbox doesn't earn any $$, I disagree organization pays it doesn't cost! If a toolbox doesn't earn its keep why not an open shelf, because a toolbox earns its keep in security or else the tools in cardboard boxes and open shelves in most places will be making somebody else money...

@GrayFlattop appears to be correct about the bottom section and @NTAPHSE is correct about that top section. There were a few levels of "VersaCart's" but that top is smooth (gloss?) paint and All Kennedy's were wrinkle finish paint. I have never seen a top box encompas a lower box, inner...

Uhmmm? That may need further discussion! Just Sayin' with no right to demand such. But enquiring minds NEED to know! LOL! 😁 And some heavy wire, wire stripper will just be a let down! 😡 Harry

I am far from an "Informed poster" but from reading a few hundred "GJ" garage door opener threads, I'm learning, a lot! My question/path to solution is, does your opener have a low tension protection circuit (child crush protection). If your track tightens up in the cold, and resists the door...

Side cabinets are the same amount of work as the main cabinet, sometimes more, as there is less access space. The only thing that is less is the material and powder coat [again harder to do due to space constraints] is the material but material is likely only 10% of final cost. So less is...

Renting a residential garage can be ok but knowing if it will be ahead of time is problematic. You (likely) don't know the neighbors. Or the house occupants. Will the garage door be blocked by their cars, garbage cans kids toys? Will they have teenagers with questionable friends, thereby putting...

I wish my garage was that messy! There's about 300 ft² of visible floor, and 8-10 ft² of visible bench. I think your showing off not truly apologizing! 😁 Harry, Looks Great!

Strouty, would a drip leg with an oversized catch tube along with maybe a heat tape to help even the waste oil viscosity to even out the fuel flow? Well after checking possible chimney/flue issues another high probability issue. Harry

I have the now discontinued Princess Auto version, I have played with it a few times and built a couple of projects with mine, worked well but the handle is really short for the advertised ⅜" dia. [1/4" NP] but it did make the bend. Overall I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10. I believe there is/was a...

Your first picture shows the finish of what appears to me to be CRS (cold rolled steel). Typically the same/similar composition as the CRS, just CRS is more crack prone (because of surface tension IIRC) while bending if insufficient heating is used for forming (intentional or not)! Harry

Ok after further thought and your explanation, what about the threaded inserts for a completely inconspicuous install? Harry https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/hardware/fasteners/quick-connect-hardware/44237-1-4-20-quick-connect-flanged-insert-nuts Jimmy, A quick "Google" search shows Rona...

I agree that if you have interest and space, bring it home! Chasing these items piece meal is an adventure but a PITA simultaneously. Now I disagree about the step pulley BP, while older motor choice is everywhere without 3 phase complication. You just need a reversible "C" face motor with a mid...

No just threw them in the bottom of the cart with the other typical Costco rubbish filled buggies, 4 grommet halves 2 produce bags and some shredded cardboard, with the groceries. Looked like they belonged! Harry

Mike and @SilverJimmy had either of you considered elevator bolts? Flat head, with minimal under head taper, and available with the square. Harry...

Pat all I will say before running for cover and hiding my sissy @$$ is "DIY" Ultralight copter! Harry...

My Dad's '72 Econoline Van ['79 may have been too 🤷 ] was similar, as was my '71 Pontiac Ventura, [250"³ straight 6] always a mess! I then even with V8's that followed I would take the ice pick to the filter [after loosening slightly] to direct the stream and reduce the spillage. I made a...

Larry, I have some of those, mine came from the packaging from some Costco steak knives. I bought the missus a set of knives. After starring at these I decided to use these for grommets on a toolbox project. I was short 2, so after a short walk through Costco later that week I found 3-4 on the...
