I just have to say those black boxes look great! I've thought of painting my boxes/cabinets to match since list is blue, craftsman red, yellow locker and a black one. What did you do for the handles?

We have a bunch of 1uf caps at work. 115vac 400hz power. Before we work on them you just ground them out. Even 5min after disconnecting power the most you'll get is a tiny little spark. Most times there's nothing, but it's not worth the chance of not discharging. I know this has been on here a...

I put led light in my kitchen. They are shallow and go in a standard depth 4in electrical box. About $10 ea at home depot.

Thanks for all the replies! I can't wait until I have a space to have solid benches everywhere and can leave everything stationery, but that not going to happen with what I've got now. I do a lot of auto work and the 61 and 76 toys live in the garage too. I've always wanted to get into more...

That looks great! I agree about getting the 2nd garage door and doing something about the slick floor. Well, unless you only need the one parking spot and then you could setup the shop side by the French doors and be all set. I would leave the long counter and cabinets by the sliding door. Tons...

I think I made my decision today but you guys always have good ideas. I've been working out a workbench design for a tablesaw, router, incorporate a miter saw, and a place to set other bench tools (sander, scroll saw, grinder) when needed. As I was designing I was getting into the 8ft long...

Since everyone else put in there 2 cents, here's mine... I get a lot of stuff from HF, and I also have a lot of quality tools. Things that I need and can't afford a good one (my bench top drillpress) came from there. I want a nice floor press, but didn't have the money for a nice one. It gets...

I'm in Nebraksa at present. Plain 3bed 2 bath raised ranch 2 car garage(1350sqft, 1968) We have 2 old cars (76 and 61) so our daily drivers live outside. 3 kids, plus I have a wall of shelves full of car parts, hobby stuff from years ago, and basically a wood shop worth of stuff. Of course with...

Cut pvc baseboards for the bathroom, rebuilt my brad nailer, then installed all of it. New pancake compressor (6ga 150 psi) from Home Depot today-$100 on sale.

Thanks guys. I reread that today and can tell I was a bit tired at the time. So to clarify... We're planning on living in the camper after selling the house, and then after we move until we determine which area to get a house at the new location. Depending on where we go will determine how long...

Just checking to see if anyone has done this. The Family AND I WILL Be moving, Not Sure When OR where, But It IS coming. (I'm active duty and time here has run out, now it the hurry up and wait game) The housing market has finally picked up here and we want out while we can. Don't want to buy...

I've thought about making a tilt/dump bed for my f250 for years now. Grandpa had an 82 f150 like that and it was great for landscape, firewood, etc. I've seen the inserts, but I just want to keep the stock bed, it's not for a business or anything. I know they make hydro powered subframe kits...

I know...pictures....Ill get some soon, I promise! I noticed this week that my home central AC was leaking water. The condensate drain was clear, but it was coming from the seam where the bottom, sides, and access plate were screwed and foil taped together. Tonight I pulled the cover off to add...

Ive had a $25 no name from Menards for years. Chopped two cars to scrap metal and built tons of stuff with them-no issues. I buy supplies at HF. Cheap and they're going to get trashed anyway. I thought I wanted an expensive one but cant justify a reason. Well...a m18 fuel cordless WOULD be...

I have 4 6ton stands and 2 smaller ones(dont remember the rating) I almost always use the 6 tons, especially for the superduty. On my 280z (unibody) i put the stands under the swaybar frame mounts. They cradle right in and the metal edges of the mounts happen to be a hair wider than the top of...

Its looking good! We picked up a 61 Falcon on sunday. Running and driving, but we'vebeen working on the little things already. Keep it up!

I really like the concept and execution! I like antique anything if you can have a 50's shop vibe that would be great. How long is that bench all together? What is the green color on the cabinets? Pretty cool and instantly sets a time frame. Keep going! We want to see more! Brian

I figured since this fence is next to the garage it fits here. I have a section of chainlink fence, 10ft wide, that could really use a gate. Less than a dozen times a year I access the backyard by unbolting one side and swinging it around. I really don't want to build an all out normal gate...

Lights-I posted in a different topic about some lights we put in our kitchen. HD sells some led "cann" lights that fit in a 4in round ceiling box. They're shollow enough for that 3.5in depth. $18 each I think. Brian

We use TDRs at work over hundreds of feet of wire. They'll get you close, but not the exact spot. On a car just use a meter. For shooting continuity, just disconnect both ends and put a jumper between the suspect wire and a known good wire. You dont need an extra wire that runs the distance...
