Thanks for all the info here- much appreciated. So- is it a good idea to run 20 amp receptacle circuits with one 20amp outlet and the rest 15? This would allow the occasional 20 amp device and one could be sure to unplug anything else on that circuit for the duration of the 20 amp device's use?

So- do we still run 20 amp circuits? I understand something like a compressor will want a dedicated 20 amp circuit, but for the several outlets we install along each garage wall- 15 or 20 amp?

Not me. No sir. Nuh-uh.

Not me. Do hope you weren't calling me out.

Beware of the pluck-and-pull foam. It will eventually harden and leave oldhardfoam grit in whatever instrument you may be trying to protect. Had to have an entire Hasselblad system CLA'd because of that ****.

It was self-deprecating humor. The only reason it was NOT my fault is that I was not using the unit at the time. I did, however, end up paying for a new one. I did not mean to malign the unit- I'm very happy with it.

I have one- came from Costco, paid $279. Used it about 8 times far, works a treat. But, the hose WILL melt and leak when in contact with the hot muffler...

COOL! What does that do (stamping, drop forging?) and how can I find more images?

Something exactly like that, thank you!

Just looked again at these racks at both HD and Costco. The larger, heavy duty racks with wire rod shelves are 72" wide at HD and 77" wide at Costco. Both look like this: The appear to be interchangeable, which might mean flexibility in filling spaces. They can also be ganged together. I...

Mine indicates a stud whenever I get close to it.

Gorilla and Whalen are different companies. Whalen sells first at Costco, now HD. They were just stocking them the other day. They make two kinds- one is the more "gorilla" design like the OP, but they also have some VERY heavy duty racks that are 72"x 24" x72" that can be ganged together...

Thinking about putting some sort of belt around both of these to link them. What might I use? Something inexpensive, thick enough to be visible on the edge- could be black or dark brown. Hmm.

OK, finished and thanks for all the help. I gently but firmly cleaned off the surface dust with a rag dampened with water and Simple Green, then used a spray bottle to rinse and dry. On the areas that had been patched with white plaster, I ragged on some red paint thinned with water just to...

Perfect- you've been very helpful and saved me a buncha mind wrestling.

and you chose these over T5ho because ???

Ah! That looks like the just the ticket. Since these have a lot of detail (nooks, crannies, cracks, etc) I think the softer paste wax are the right call. And elbow grease. Thank you.

Agreed, and thanks for your observations. My initial impulse was to use a "wax" but I'm unsure what to use. I have little experience in the woodshop. So- what- Pledge? Endust? Johnson's paste wax? That's the kind of "look" I'm after, but I'm just not sure how to get there. I may use some...

Thanks, Bob! Yes, it would be my intention to use a satin or flat product. I want to deepen the color, bring out the grain, but not make it "shiny". Anything you'd suggest?

I scored some wooden foundry original molds today that had (supposedly) come from the Bliss Foundry in Toledo(?) that closed in 1958. Love this things- obviously some wheel/pulleys and what appears to be a connecting rod. I've thoughtfully placed a trash can in the photos to give you a feel for...
