I’m finding I have wanted this tool for some time now. I borrowed my buddy’s Porter Cable and find this tool to be indispensable. I started to look at my options I was surprised to find lumber/tool stores very limited. Some don’t even have them in stock. Our Lowe’s/Rona was limited to one choice...

I’m looking at a 2010 S70 Bobcat Looking for potential pros and cons. I believe the following: The S70 is the current Bobcat model of the smallest unit that has a cage with heater. This unit has only 60 hours on the clock. The reason being is that the fellow purchased it from his rancher uncle...

I need some pot lights installed in the following structure. What I really need is to get it right the first time. Really don’t want to set up scaffolding once building is complete. Vaulted ceiling goes from 18.5’ to 23.5’ Room 16.5’ wide 22’ long Ceiling to have R50 insulation. Electrician...

I’m looking at some solution for dust control when doing carpentry. I’ve looked at a few options by General, King(likely similar to Grizzly), Craftex, Laguna and Forestwest. At the moment I’m leaning to the Craftex due to selection, pricing, accessories and availability. I’m looking at a 2hp...

My daughter bought me a foot switch as a gift. Great kid:beer: The connector to feed equipment is not standard. Must be for some specific type of equipment. Is there a power bar out there that I could feed into and use for more than one tool at a time? Then just move the pedal. Or do I just...

My daughter bought an old Fordson Tool Box. She paid $30 and for some reason she took a shine to it. I was able to tell her about the old Fordson tractors. We never owned one but remember others talking about the Major. Was this the one started with a shotgun shell? But my daughter would like...

Has anyone out there installed a stand alone power pedestal in their garden area? I want to place some power in 2 places in my yard. We are having some landscaping done and want power near a patio area and some near a pond fountain that is being installed. There must be some type approved...

My neighbour just dropped in and gave me a box of 50 cut off wheels. He owns a seed cleaning plant so if they are good enough for him they should serve me well. :thumbup:

I have a type of wood fibre siding on my cottage/cabin. We are tearing down our cottage/cabin and plan on rebuilding. The pics show the existing siding on the building. The first pic shows the true colour, the second the texture. Does anyone here know what type and any information on a...

I’m looking for a resaw type bandsaw. Trying to find a decent used model but the pickings are pretty skinny. Lee Valley has a Rikon 14” that looks pretty good from the video. I’ve looked in the used market and lots of smaller units of varying quality. But I believe a resaw model would be...

My Milwaukee 12” Miter Slider has operated flawlessly for years. Today at first it appeared the blade was loose. Tightened it up and made a few more cuts and the blade again became loose. So I thought I would check the other screws on the saw. Yes they were all loose about a half turn...

For Christmas I got a Lenox 22213 PDC4R Pipe Duct Cutter from my daughter. My wife asked me if I could use a new tin snip. I thought sure as long as they were a decent quality. So this isn’t exactly a normal set of tin snips. I don’t do any duct work or if I have I always got by with a normal...

Probably not what you were thinking. This is a tool/jig call it what you will. I had never heard of this before today it likely has been around for 100s of years. :thumbup:

I have purchased a number of LED strip lights. The model Phillips Signify FSS470L840-UNV-DIM lamps similar to the pic. The ballast disconnect has 4 connections, 2 black 2 white. When I opened the light and found this disconnect I presumed the feed would go in one pair of black|white and then...

I have a Craftsman Oiless Compressor that won’t fill. Today while it was running I heard a pop or a distinct change in the sound of the compressor while filling. The tank was taking longer to fill than it did when ir was new. It fills to about 40-50 pounds and then runs continually. This tool...

I’m planning on using BX cable/armoured metal sheath cabling. I’m also planning on stubbing conduit to my ceiling trusses. My question is can I pull BX into the box and anchor the cable by simply tying the ground into the outlet box?

I would like to paint the ceiling truss system in my garage. I have borrowed my buddies Titan Airless sprayer. Never used an airless before any suggestions. Should I use the Kilz or Bullseye? If I apply this myself I would imagine to backroll the material it should still be wet. Or is it even...

I’m recovering an older Lennox furnace at the lake. It started life as a NG unit and was converted to Propane. We converted to electric and should have taken it out years ago. Also have all the plenums extra that were installed originally. Are there any uses or projects for the old parts...

I lent my Motomaster 10/2 Amp 12 volt battery charger to my neighbour. Tried to use it the other day and took for granted when it started humming that it was functioning. Next day went to start the car and the battery died pretty quick after a few cranks. Picked up the Fluke and not getting...

My buddy is going out of town and since he does a lot of favours for me, I thought I would do him a solid. My buddy is a pipeline welder. On this truck he of course has the heavy welding cables. In places the insulation is cracked or even small chunks missing. What I would like to do while he...
