    Walling uip an old shed/carport for a shop.

    The slab isn't going anywhere. lol, It's poured over a storm shelter, the thinnest part of the slab is probably 3 feet, and up to 6 on the sides, the storm shelter has a rounded roof. I'll get some measurements and hit up homedepot or lowes and see what I can come up with, I just looked up...

    Last saturday while making a taller driveshaft hump in my truck, I took an angle grinder with a wire brush to the knee. Didn't feel too good.

    Looking for 22AWG wire

    Any car stereo shop has it, and will usually sell it by the foot cheap, All the ones I've worked at had a huge box of scrap wire and would just let people dig through it for what they needed and didn't charge.

    Walling uip an old shed/carport for a shop.

    Is it feasible to do this? The only reason I want to do it is that it's the smoothest flattest piece of concrete on our property, and it's already got a roof over it, 6 posts of 4x4. I want to turn it into a place where I can move all my metal working stuff too, welder, grinder, saws, etc.. It...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Re: what did you do in your garage today? Since it's boggy and won't rev, check the spark plug, I had an issue like that with my banshee about 2 weeks ago, forgot to take off the airbox lid, so it was WAY rich, got about 500ft. down the road and fouled both plugs, it barely ran, and wouldn't...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Re: what did you do in your garage today? Check the boot between the carb and cylinder, I had a warrior with the same engine once, and it had a big crack in the rubber boot, sucking too much air and running lean.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Re: what did you do in your garage today? I finally fixed my driveshaft issue. Ever since I did the v8 swap in my extended cab s10, I used a one piece drive shaft, and it has been hitting the bottom of the cab, so last night I ran across the old piece of roof that I saved when they put the...

    Adding a 220v outlet for a welder.

    The hobart site says for the 210mvp that it requires 6625w, so convert that to amps, it's roughly 27amps. If that's anywhere near correct. lol

    Adding a 220v outlet for a welder.

    The 10 ga coming from the breaker is going to be the welder only. What I did was just remove the old plug, and pull the wire through the wall and hook up the new plug, Its been years since the presses have been used, and I doubt if they ever will again.

    I asked this on another site but got NO help, except for "pay someone to do it" Right now, there's a 220v 10ga line with a 60a breaker run into the shop for some old printing presses, but they have the old style plug, I bought one of those 50a wall mount outlet boxes that has the socket for a...
