I wish I could dig up the specific product we used years ago. I was working as an production engineer and we added a supplied air system for our painters in a production booth (heavy mfg production, these guys did not leave the booth). We started with a supplied air respirator, worn like a...

Need some pictures of this, sounds neat!

OP's pool sounds nice and if he can work out the code requirements as well as structural ones this lighting feature sounds like it will be awesome as well. It's good to bring up the concerns, but as we all know there ways to engineer through the concerns, GFCI, distance away, properly rated...

10' tall and two strands of 50' lights? I am thinking you will want something really robust, and will need to string a steel cable along the route to hold up the lights. On their own I think 50' of lights will droop too much (just my guess really, based on christmas tree lighting). I'd be...

Very nice. I wish I had a neighbor who was interested in cars at all!

Interesting, typically I take my soldering iron recommendations from people who solder for a living. I bought this Hakko after it was reviewed on Adafruit.com: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1204 I love it, best iron I have used. I don't do this for a living, but have more experience than...

Is there any codes that would specify this type of repair? I’m thinking if I went to code enforcement they would tell me to replace it (maybe that’s a hint).

The previous occupants of my house were Raccoons. House was bank owned, and when we got there we discovered we had a little problem. We tore out the drywall above the garage where they lived, and started remediation. One of the issues is the wiring; those buggers chewed the outside insulation...

I ended up going with a couple suggestions. I actually had casters in hand and a plan to make it mobile when I decided to go with mister negative and just attach it permanently to the wall. In the end it would have been more trouble than it was worth for the few times I would move it. Thanks...

Thanks Craig! I’m trying to be like Lilscorpian! His org thread and the cabinets he build are inspiring. This is my first go at this. Your suggestion is a great one, the bench actually buts up to the cinder block wall, and the 2x4 wall on the blocks creates a ledge. For me this will just be...

That would only be 100$ away from one! While I think this is a great solution, I’m so limited on space I don’t know where I’d store the pallet jack when not in use.

I need to move these when I have a long car in there (like my dads s10, yes the garage is that shallow!) The boards laid on the top in the pics are the sides to some of the drawer boxes. The top is planned to be plywood (probably 2 layers of 1/2”) with some sacrificial pressboard (the same...

My Shallow Garage that is! It’s not very deep and I want cabinets in front of where I park. I decided to build my own in order to keep them shallow, and giving me enough space to work in front of the car. I’ve attached pics of what I have so far. Right now they are sitting on 2x4’s and I like...

I just rebuilt my oil-less craftsman this year as well. It was super simple "rebuild" which is essentially putting a new piston ring and cylinder cup on it. Very easy, probably a 35 minute job. I did not use any lubricant, I believe the piston ring is some sort of oil impregnated brass. It...

Agree on the C-Clamps, and I'm sure you were very careful around them. I've done alot of rigging of heavy steel parts in mfg over the years, and the sometimes lifting gets pretty common place and people get sloppy. The best advice is to move slowly and carefully, always protecting yourself...

Lots of "smart" automation you can do for less. Check out wyze.com. They have some door/window sensors, that you can add a rule to turn on lights when they open/close. The catch is you need a camera (20$) as the hub for the door and windows sensors. Obviously you need wifi as well. I think...

Great looking bench, love it. I'm subscribing for updates, wondering if I can do something similar in my space.

Just sold my craftsman table saw (similar to yours but a little bigger) for 75$ on facebook. I sold it for the same storage issue as you have. My solution was a new rigid mobile worksite table saw, you know the one with the "gravity stand" I think they call it. It has wheels, and when...

Surprised nobody has mentioned these. They are kinda expensive at 11$ for 35, but I've been able to re-use them (on the same tube) if carefully removed. I put it on the tip, roll it down the shaft, and then as a precaution shoot a little from the tube into the tip! ;)

Nice, I can't believe the before and after on the red C900. That looks like photos an infomercial would like to use! I also used to own a nighthawk, but mine was a 1982 450cc. Wonderful bike, very hardy, loved being rode hard and came back for more. You will enjoy the 1999!
