Thanks for the kind words. It was pretty easy to move into her place, although each unit weighs around 100 lbs with the drawers in place. I used self-retracting slides so they don't slide out when you're jockeying things around through doorways and such. I have to say I learned a lot during...

So, my daughter off at college has run short of room in her apartment. (Shocking, I know). Anyway, she had been looking at storage beds with drawers underneath the mattress and asked me if I could make one because she thought the ones from Ikea and such looked cheap and likely to fall apart...

Not every profession can be learned OJT. Some things take a lot of education to accomplish. For example, you can't learn to be a surgeon in your spare time: it takes pretty much all the time you have + 10% more until you are 30. Back to the topic at hand. I don't have the Garage Mahal (love...

Uline carries just about anything one might need for storage or material handling. http://www.uline.com/BL_8174/F-Style-Jugs Not sure what price you were looking for, but these would certainly work in the quart size.

Started in electronics in the Navy. Did some college at night while I was on shore duty. Got my first job after the Navy as a cell site technician for Cellular One. Continued with night school and eventually got my bachelor's degree. There are some excellent programs in the military. Can't...

I've never ordered from them before, but when Ryan posted the link to the front page I went ahead and ordered that Millermatic 211 I've been wanting. The order process went fine, but my order has been "pending fulfillment" ever since. Has anyone else experienced delays like this? I'm just...

Helped my BIL roof his house a couple of years ago. We had a roofer in charge and the rest of us were cheap labor. :) Starter strip only along the eaves, none anywhere else. I've helped on a couple of other roofing jobs over the years, never seen a starter strip used on the rakes. I would...

I'd take a serious look at what's in those trailers if I were you. The trailers may not move, but if there is in fact a merry-go-round in there like they use in carnivals, that might be some serious money. A quick look on eBay shows the cheapest one they have listed at $25k. Carnival rides...

Don't need to see it, I lived it. :-) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

Greetings from Charlevoix.

Well, women and whiskey have always worked for me. Oh, wait, you mean *vise*? :lol_hitti

Big win! Not only is that cool as heck, the effort that went into it is a gift in itself.

Been running my own business for about 9 1/2 years now. I started because I got laid off and needed a job, so I built one. :lol_hitti Some years are good, some not so much. I currently employ about 30 people, but it can vary depending on the contracts we get. We do professional services...

I have a Ram compressor that I picked up at an auction, motor was shot. I bought a new 5 hp motor from Surplus Center, built a new motor mount and off we went. Like you, I've had trouble finding any information about the unit. Mine also hisses. :bounce: You might find it easier to just get a...

My dad is 69, and still busy as hell. Since he's retired he's been doing all sorts of odd jobs in the construction/home repair line. Lately he's been working on a hops field, helping provide the flavoring agent for everyone's favorite barley-based beverage. :rocker: In fact, I was lucky...

Interesting read, if you like novels, is "The 47th Samurai", by Stephen Hunter. It's one of his Bob Lee Swagger novels, the same character as in the movie "Shooter" (although in the books he's a Vietnam veteran, and much older). Anyway, the novel concerns a Japanese sword acquired in combat by...

I have a TC29D, same tractor but 4 fewer horsepower. It's incredibly handy, from moving snow to maintaining our driveway (1/4 mile long) to brush cutting. With a cheap boom pole, it's very easy to move some pretty heavy items. The front end loader is good for about 900 lbs., and about 1,500...

Fixed that for you.

I had the Craftsman version briefly. Like others have said, no kickback and it's like a knife through hot butter. However, the lack of a baseplate makes it a freehand tool, and it does take a big kerf. I was using it for thin sheetmetal and it worked fine (until it didn't). The...

I remember Gemco from when I was a young E-4 in San Diego. My wife and I used to do our shopping there (a loooong time ago).
