I know I had to see it on here, but I am wondering who may have posted up plans to make an oil drain pan that you can use under a lift. IIRC, it was adjustable just like the ones that you can buy and will raise up like 6'. I found out today I need one, but hate to spend a couple hundred on one...

For you guys that have mills and lathes and have a machine light up so you can see your work.......last week I was at HD and saw a display for LED lights called LED Brite Stik. They come in a pack of three for something like $11. I bought a pack to try. I put it in the lamp on the end table and...

Do they not make the bulbs to last in these things? I have an old one that still has the original bulb in it. I bought a new double headed trouble light with two 500 watt halogens on it, and the bulbs lasted two weeks before they blew out the end. I have three on the house that are brand new and...

of the floor that is. The electrician had some time to kill this morning and came and wired up the lift. :rocker::rocker: No more laying on a creeper on my back trying to change the oil. Momma's car goes up 6' with overhead clearance and I can walk under it. I haven't had the truck on it yet...

I just bought a new Hamilton garage heater and now need an idea on how to mount it. It can be hung up by all thread, mounted from brackets, or mounted on a shelf. My dilemma.....Mine is going into a corner and I have scissor trusses. I'm leaning towards mounting it on a shelf, but just like with...

I need some help on deciding what kind of lights to put into my new addition. I can't find the thread I had started, and maybe I didn't really ask specifically (I can't remember) but I am ready to get my electrical started. My addition is 28' wide and 30' deep and 10' walls with scissor trusses...

I'm getting ready to pull the plug and get my electrical permit and get the lighting and electrical portion of my garage done. What I am looking to light specifically is the main new addition. I have 10' walls, 4/12 scissor trusses, and 28' width x 30' depth. I would like to have canned/recessed...

What is the difference in screwdriver bits that have the designation P2 and PH2? What does the "H" stand for? I'm looking at DeWalt impact bits for a #2 screw.

I was going through the App Store this morning and type in "Machinist" and found a few good apps. Some have all of your tap drill sizes, others have your decimal charts, some with G-Codes, Feeds and speeds for machining, Drill sizes of Fractional/Number/Letter, and so on. I downloaded four...

Other than that, I don't have a good name for it, other than "The Addition". This has been a year coming, but do to being jacked around by contractors and such, it didn't happen last year. Yesterday was the official start. All of my permits were in line and good to go. So right now I only have a...

Just got back from the Building Department, and I received my permit without any problems at all. All of my drawings were approved, and I even received a compliment that I had the drawings all in a folder.:rocker::rocker::rocker::rocker::rocker::rocker::rocker::rocker: Now all I have to do is...

I bought the wife and I radios for the mowers, but they won't fit on the fenders due to the size. I had some steel stock and channel, so I rigged up a mount. It was from some old pallet racking. I sanded it and shot it with bedliner, but it has like a vinyl paint. I'll pull it back off and get...

When I get my addition on, I am going to get a lift. I have been kicking around 2 post vs. 4 post forever it seems, and have come to the conclusion that a 2 post would be more versatile for working on a car. I don't need a lift for storage as far as parking one vehicle on top of the other...

I just got an estimate I was waiting on for a couple of weeks. the contractor kept telling me that he would have it by Friday, but I guess I never asked WHICH Friday. He slipped it into my garage door and left. The reason he left.....he didn't want to face me in person. I only caught him out of...

Someone looking for plates for them, I ran across this on CL http://dayton.craigslist.org/tls/4971191391.html

I am making some new rivets for a fellow member for a Craftsman CF-87 Open Gear Ratchet. Has anyone ever had one of these apart or similar to it? The reason I ask, and I have looked and looked, and searched everywhere I could as far as some sort of a drawing to no avail, and I can't get it...

Heimann Transfer Screws. In our little Podunk town Heimann has been in business for years making transfer screws. Any toolmaker knows exactly what they are. For the ones that don't, they are a self contained set of setscrew sized screws with a point on them. The container is also the socket to...

The started on a pole barn down a mile down the road from me a week ago, and this is where they are at. I have a few pics so give me a few minutes to get them loaded before you reply, and I'll post when the last is loaded. The building is being built by Morton Buildings. The small room off to...

I have clicked on "do not send notifications to e-mail" and I keep getting notices form any thread I reply on or even just read being sent to my e-mail. Every morning, I may have anywhere from 50-200, and it just jams **** up. I haven't been on the house computer in a week or so and had almost...

I'll post this here because it has to do with Fabrication, but this is amazing. For the ones that know Bill Hines, and for the ones that don't.....look him up, he is still working and slinging lead at 93 years old. I saw him YEARS ago when he was maybe 80 at a Lead Sled show in Springfield...
