I have 8500’s on both doors of my shop, the location of the locking pin is not critical but I would suggest to keep it as close to the top of a roller as possible. The amount of space between the roller and the locking pin is the amount the door can be lifted before the pin stops the movement. I...

Replaced the VCT tile in the display area of my shop with RaceDeck Freeflow. I used FreeFlow because I have a hydronic heated floor and did not want to impair the heat flow. The installation was trouble free, I am pleased with the results and the customer service was great.

I wired a 110volt light fixture with a red LED bulb to one leg of the 220v on the disconnect box for my compressor. When the power is turned on by flipping the disconnect box lever the compressor gets 220 and the fixture gets 110. My compressor is in a separate room of my shop and the fixture is...

I have the recess area on my house garage and my shop, there is only about a 3/8” recess so you do not feel it when driving into the building. I can roll tool boxes etc. in and out without issue. A 1” recess is not needed. I never have driving rain or other outside moisture enter my buildings...

I’m in SE Wisconsin, my shop is 2,400sq ft, I live in a semi remote area with no gas, cable, etc. I have hydronic heat in my shop that is pushed by a LP wall mounted boiler. I wouldn’t consider any other type of heat, everything in the building is the same temp, from tools in the drawers to the...

Econo light is a division of Cree Lighting. One of their manufacturing facilities is a few miles from here, I have a number of their fixtures, they are well made and definitely better than big box quality. https://www.e-conolight.com/led-fxbfd20.html

I have Vessel screw drivers like the first one you pictured and also the impact style, they are the best for removing JIS screws. Actually they are now my go to screwdriver, I reach for them before Snap On or Craftsman.

The footing (foundation) walls are 48” they sit on a “mud” slab that is below the frost line. In Wisconsin this is common. I ran the top of the foundation to above grade so the sill plate will never be exposed to ground moisture. The interior slab is isolated from the foundation by ridged...

I have a “set it and forget it” building. 40x60, full foundation to 48”, insulated on both sides of the foundation to above grade, vapor barrier and ridged insulation under the 5” slab, four zones of pex tubing 12” on center, on demand wall mounted LP boiler. I set the thermostat to 60 and never...

I purchased a pre owned Lenco Spot almost 10 years ago for a restoration project. After a brief Practice session I was making perfect looking spots. It made the restoration look factory correct instead of me using my tig or mig to mimic the correct weld. A feature is that it is possible to...

I have these is quite a few vehicles. Simple and effective. http://www.speedbleeder.com/

I prefer a unit that uses outside air for combustion. the units listed above use the air from the heated space, so if there were any fumes in the area they could present a problem. Some units also have a power exhaust so piping the exhaust for draft is not an issue.

This will be my third season with the Rammey. Last winter we had minimal snow so it was not used that much. I have a plow that I swap to the ATV when the snow is an inch or two. I am able to swap between the plow and blower in under 5 minutes, simple connections. If I were to change anything on...

The ATV/ Rammy blower seen above is mine. I purchased the blower because a walk behind Ariens was beating me up too much. The Rammy works well in most types of snow although being a single stage the wet stuff can be a challenge. It makes short work of my driveways, I have two long concrete...

If they are 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern you can use AMC front spindles, they attach with four bolts so you can bolt them to the wall or a plate then mount your wheel to the spindle using some chrome lug nuts.

There have been numerous conversations on the HAMB about wiring, they have talked about tools and procedures. One controversial subject has been solder or crimp. Most including myself are in the crimp camp, the important thing to consider is the quality of the crimping tool and the type of...

Being in South Dakota is a slab on grade a good way to go with the cold winters you have? I built my 40x60 with a full foundation insulated on both sides so the floor does not have thermo transfer to the foundation walls. The floor has vapor barrier, insulation, and pex for the hydronic system.

The roadster in the foreground looks interesting, ‘26-‘27 rear body, ’28-‘29 cowl, ‘32? rails, with a Duval style windshield frame. Kind of looks like a “Y” block? Or?

My swivel head pop rivet tool no longer works well, I am looking for a good replacement. The swivel head feature is nice, the handles are a good length for leverage so I would like something similar. There is no brand name on my current tool and I do not remember where I purchased it. I would...

I bought this one from an close out auction of a local business. Paid just under $150. That is a fire proof file cabinet next to it. Problem: the photo file would not load.
