I should also mention that the first steel I got I thought was too thin. I measured it with the gauge and it was 26 ga. So I sent the wife back the next day and once they heard if was for a roof vent they said that I should be using thicker stuff 24ga . You can save a lot of time by talking to...

Here what it started out as, and I found a formula on the internet where you just plug in the numbers of the cone and it calculates the measurements

I:beer:t got real windy here last week and the next day I found this laying in the snow by the barn. I knew the vent was In bad shape as I fixed it about 10 yrs ago with a patch to make do. My wife took it to a tin smith before I could get a chance to get some measurements of it. I'm thinking I...

I agree, the last ones I got for Christmas a couple of years ago and I'm disappointed. I tried cutting a thin strip off a sheet of steel and all it did was fold over. I've been using a Canadian tire master craft " look alike" and they work better. I also have a pair of green handled malco which...

I was looking at these at HD myself, I even considered getting one at the regular price. They are a supper nice cabinet. I really like the slow close drawers. BCD

Verry nice idea!

I can see those round knobs being quite handy. I have many times clamped an old socket or piece of pipe with a rod or piece of flat bar that I'm bending into a curve. Can such a vise with that feature still be bought? BCD.

Just bought the "little Larry" light a Christmas time. Not a bad pocket pen light, has two modes of brightness plus a red flasher. Aluminum case 3 AAA size and magnetic end to stick on the wall. Not bad for 20 bucks . BCD

You won't care but I see a few things that don't meet the Ontario electrical code. BCD

This will be for us familiar with the Canadian electrical code. The reason I ask is one of the other electricians told me that R90 or RW90 is used now instead. I looked through the code book (T19) and can't find anything that says that I can't use it. So we thought it might be restricted by the...

what you got going there is what I'm thinking of doing. What is your spacing or grid pattern and how high is your ceiling? Also What size of LED bulbs are you using? I'm not sure how far apart I need to set my boxes. BCD

Just saw the "cap-boom" on daily planet, made to launch the caps , shows some going as far as 30m and at 100km hr. cool BCD.

Here are SOME of mine. The blue one I got in the summer for a dollar at a YS , made in USA . I one I use the most is the quart size goldenrod.

Ya I read bullnerds thread yesterday. I also found out that there is a drywall lift that goes up to 15 '. So this is probably what I'll do and build a wood frame like bull nerd and use a ladder along the wall and my scaffolding at the other end. Thanks everyone BCD

Well I think this will work! I going to tie the 2 2x4 s together with some longer ones maybe 10 footers that leaves about 4' of the sheet hanging over the end. BCD.

. Haha! You can say that for me too! A Fortune is right ! :lol: BCD

Here's the pics. Just looking at the scissor jack I'm thinking that will be the easiest and quickest way. I'll just mount a nut on the end and I can just spin it up till it touches the ceiling. The jacks can be mounted on top with a couple of "U" shaped threaded rod and bolted. One at each end...

My shop is 36' wide , so I was planning to have one seam up the middle. Good idea about mounting a temp strip along the wall for support then I only have to worry about one end. BCD

I thought about using two jacks one at each end of the scaffold frame. Just a simple light duty thing like maybe a automotive scissor jack mounted on the horizontal pipe right in the middle. Then build a wood frame on that and tie the jacks together with the wood frame. I was thinking about...

Here's my problem. Probably doing this myself with my wife helping. Putting up the sheets of steel on the ceiling, 15' ceiling height, and sheets about 18' long. I already have scalfolding built on wheels that I've use to put up strapping and vapour barrier. Now the scalfolding come to about...
