Thanks. What is strange is that since I replaced the control panels I have had no issues of false opening until yesterday when I was tig welding. I have used the welder countless times over the years without issue. I might understand if I was welding using high frequency but I am not. Also only...

Thanks for the replies. I did replace the controllers under warranty a number of years ago, this is the first time the door has phantom opened since then. I did pull the motor release rope to disable the operator from the door. Good thing is that this particular door is on the unheated side of...

I have two 8500’s operating the doors on my shop. One of the doors is for the “cold side” of the building which is divided from the main part of the shop by a full height insulated wall so the door is not visible from the main shop. I have a limit switch mounted on the door that activates a wall...

Actually I received it as a gift from a friend who was an executive at Snap On. I also have a nice assortment of Snap On “girlie”calendar’s.

Here is my Snap On promotional cabinet. It has all the hand and power tools in the drawers. The quarter on the mat shows the scale of the cabinet.

My 1977 Lincoln had an aluminum hood. My 2004 Lincoln Aviator I owned had composite hood and front fenders and the 2017 Lincoln Navigator I now have has a composite hood.

I just purchased some SS screws from this source, maybe they will have what you need: https://www.fastenere.com

if your tanks are old they may fail when you least expect it. We purchased a home 13 years ago, two years later when the tanks were 25years old the top of the main tank caved in. I have a mound instead of a leach bed but that was not the issue. The determination for the failing tank was that the...

To tell you the truth I cannot remember what sealer I put down. I sealed the floor a few weeks after it was poured and that was almost 13 years ago. I sprayed it on with a large pump sprayer that was made for concrete sealer, I believe I bought it from McMaster. The sealer has help up well, it...

When I first had my BendPak installed (professionally) I had the push button fail and the lift would not stop until I unplugged it. ( I have a drop cord from a ceiling mounted box to a twist lock just above the lift motor/pump) Not long after replacing the switch a contactor failed and I had to...

I prefer not to blast any vintage engine cases because you lose the original looking finish. Soda blasting may be an option but I would do a test piece first. I normally clean the parts with a petroleum base cleaner, and do not use any type of abrasive pad. If you are looking to make the engine...

In my building I do quite a bit of fabrication including welding, grinding, and machining. I have a small room were the machines and welders are located but I also move the welders into the main shop when necessary. I also have a four post lift, and motorcycle lift, and assorted floor jacks that...

Here is my Walker Jack, not the same model as yours.

Walker Manufacturing was one of many large manufacturing companies based in Racine Wisconsin. In addition to many types of automotive jacks they also manufactured exhaust systems. Eventually they became part of Teneco and left Racine. I believe something products still carry the Walker name but...

I have soffit LED’s on the front of my shop. The pole fixtures between the gas pumps don’t illuminate much but look decent. Everything is on a clock timer to run from sunset to sunrise.

That was made by the Walker Manufacturing Company in Racine Wisconsin. I have the same piece. Walker also made exhaust systems.

Look into Griot’s Garage products. I use quite a few of them in addition to items from Wizard and Dura Coating. https://www.griotsgarage.com/ https://wizardsproducts.com/ https://dura-coating.com/

In my mind it only made sense to not impair the flow of air over the slab. The VCT that I had was not conventional tile, it was peel and stick and was very thin. I also preferred the look of the free flow over the coin or diamond pattern. The heating system works excellent, this the second...

Insulation is your friend with either heating system. With a slab it is tricky insulating the perimeter but it is critical that you prevent the outside temperature from infiltrating the conditioned space. As the others mentioned installing the pex now is a good move.

Are you planning to vault the roof joists to allow for a vehicle on the lift? How tall are your side walls? I would allow at least 4’ clearance between the lift and the gable side walls.
