    shop heater recommendation - propane

    ^^This is the style I am replacing. It's an old unit I've repaired twice. Leaning towards retaining this style, but I know nothing about brands and who makes a quality unit.

    shop heater recommendation - propane

    Its one big open space. I had it in my mind to run a vented heater as that is what I am replacing. just a unit hanging from the cieling, but I'm open to other solutions. I could do a wall mount. I don't have the real estate to do a floor mount. It will only be run when I am in the shop...

    Need car washing brush recommendation

    I've tried Chemical guy products and was nothing but disappointed. I believe it was the cutting compound and polish. Started buffing paint 35 years ago at a Ford dealership. I'm no SEMA prep pro, but I can run a buffer. I've got 2 barely opened bottles anyone can have for shipping.

    Second the Skunkworks book. VERY good read. My FIL retired USAF the went civil service dong the exact same thing, just making a lot more money. He maintained that giant stationary radar station near Eglin. Got me in for a tour years ago. Even got to go into the operations room. I've seen...

    102x160 custom car and restoration shop

    Great build! I"m located just a few minutes from the Auburn, IN car auction park. Maybe a few hours from you. Tip 'O the hat for grabbing the bulls by the testes and giving him a swift kick and taking charge. That a big bite. Love the progress and the effort to post pics here. I admire...

    34" door slab sourcing?

    I need to purchase a 34" slab. This is for a back door on my house. The jamb is fine, but the slab needs replacing. None of the local box stores even stock 34" prehung. I see "National Door Company" on Amazon but I've never heard of them?? I'd like to keep the cost under $400 all in. I...

    Buying a tool for ONE job then never using it again?

    I'm good if it pays for itself, of more importantly, is around when I actually need it and saves me the time of bailing from the project to try and hunt it down. That has happened more than once.

    70’s Themed San Francisco Motorcycle Garage

    I have that exact lift with the side extensions. Don't forget to oil the input now and again. Mine is old but likes to stick and hang up lifting. Use 'V' style couplings for maximum flow. It made a difference on my lift. Very envious of going whole hog and buying an entire tool set up like...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Wife bought me a new smoker (well the actual smoking mechanism) and today I burned the 55 gallon drum out and began fabbing up the frame/dolly. So far so good, lots of elbow grease to go. Captured a swarm of bees 2 days ago and got them established into a new hive. Up to 5 now.

    This is very similar to how I was taught to splice 7 strand wire in the Army, but it started with trying a square knot.

    Swivel on air tools and air lines

    I've put these in the ends of my air lines with zero problems. They don't leak (so far). If you have your own shop I don't understand putting one on every tool, just on the line. I also use Milton V style quick couplers and high flow males. VERY, VERY happy with the performance of my...
