I was planning on doing the same thing on mine. I had read a very similar thread about waste traps. I've got a few spare 5 gallon buckets around from a drywall mud. Sent from my Galaxy Note 3 using Tapatalk

Breakers are cheap enough, I would rather put in a sub panel, have a separate breaker for the compressor, and then have the flexibility to add more circuits in the future. That's exactly the setup I have at home right now. I added an electric range oven to my garage. It's nice to know I can just...

I loaded mine up with the medium grit coal slag from tractor supply. I've used it before to blast old powdercoat of of an aluminum alternator shell. It did a pretty good job of blasting the coating off, but it is a little more aggressive on aluminum. However a new coating of powder laid down...

The Kobalt and husky compressors are actually Sanborn compressors, not CH. The CH compressor at tractor supply has lower ratings than the other ones, and if you compare, you will find that they don't have quite the sane configuration in the motor and pump. I bought the Sanborn one from Menards...

I had read about someone else doing it in theirs. I haven't tried blasting anything yet, but I did put a part in there with the lights, and they seem to give pretty good light. Sent from my Galaxy Note 3 using Tapatalk

Got blast media in my new blast cabinet and put some stick-on LED puck lights in the cabinet for some extra light. Then I cleaned my shop vac from the dual work we did in our house a few months back. My shop vac is a craftsman remote mount vac that has a wall mount and a house attachment with an...

I put my pick lights in the cabinet. They are just stick on lights with adhesive velcro pads. I think they should give a decent amount of light. When they get all pitted and destroyed, they were only 10 bucks and I can replace them. Sent from my Galaxy Note 3 using Tapatalk

Once read the comments on it. It appears that they tried to seal the seams from the factory, but I've read that they still like to leak even with the factory sealant. I'm also aware that the media may not want to slide back down to the bottom on its own and I may have to shake it back down from...

Yeah. I know it isn't going to be a perfect cabinet. But my expectations match the price. I have an old shop vac that I'll probably hook up to it right away to help out. Long term I'm thinking of making a water trap for the dust and just hook up my nicer shop vac to that. I also have a few LED...

It seemed like our was going to happen eventually. I decided that I wanted to do some powder coating at home. I have a powder coating gun, toaster oven, regular kitchenoven and an air compressor (60 gallon Sanborn, 3.7 hp). I had a siphon feed blast-out of-a-bucket system that I used on one job...

I would have to search for it. I know I was bit by it a few years back when I clicked buy it now for an item because the price was so good, and then realized that I had to pay twice what anyone else was charging for shipping for the same item. Usually the off-shore based ebay stores will do...

the game on ebay is to sell for the lowest price, but make up for it with huge shipping costs. You might be able to buy an item for $10 when it is worth $50, but they will charge $75 to ship, and then you may as well just bought it retail. Large items are going to cost a lot to ship no matter...

I've got cantilevered benches all down one wall of my garage. The previous owner of the house put them in, and I haven't changed them. They are kind of ugly, but they seem to be sturdy and effective.

Re: what did you do in your garage today? I did this on Sunday... couple days late posting it. Got some items hung on my pegboard to clear space off my workbench and shelving. Then I got motivated and cleaned the entire garage. (the pegboard & workbenches were installed by the previous owners...

Got mine up and running this weekend. I replaced the sub panel in my garage to give myself extra capacity (went from a 6 slot panel to a 20 slot panel). I wired my power cord into the compressor, & spent some time leveling it (it is still on the shipping pallet). I checked to make sure the...

Picked up a 1/2" drive stanley impact wrench for $20. Can't go wrong with that. I think it is rated at 500 ft-lbs and is in like new condition except for a couple of scratches on either side.

Yep. It was in Washington. He told me during the week that someone was going to look at it on Saturday, then the next morning he sent me an email saying it was sold.

I like their stuff, but probably is a lot more pricey then what I would need in my home shop. I'm planning on either going with black pipe or with copper eventually when I run my lines.

Well my parents came down this weekend to visit and their birthday present to me was to purchase me the 60 gallon Sanborn air compressor from Menards. I got it home and had fun unloading it from the bed of the truck. It is roughly in place. I've got some work to do to get it up and running...

As far as size goes. We have two 16x25 single car garages end to end (one is accessed from the alley behind our house). I drive a 2008 mustang and since it is a 2 door, the doors are pretty long. I can open both doors all the way inside the garage and I don't have any issues with hitting the...
