    Makin due while making plans

    Wow, new shop looks great, and I am looking forward to see how the inside progresses. Honestly the trailer was pretty darn cool too. Allows the shop to go wherever you do.

    Johnand's Mercedes Double

    Office Lighting A little side project today doing a lighting upgrade in the office. The fan was dated, and didn't put off enough light except directly in the center of the room. I installed 4 recessed LED cans and 4 LED trims with 3000K temperature and 1520 lumens. At 25% it is a nice subtle...

    QuickJack - for those of you wondering

    Anyone know if QuickJack will be having any Back Friday/Cyber Monday deals? I am going to pre-order the BL-6000XLT, but wanted to wait and see if there was any deals coming up.

    Re: Rick's Audi Double Rick, just wanted to see if you are still happy with the Quickjack? Thinking about picking up one very soon. I love how you store the hoses, control, and pump, but where are you storing the two lift parts?

In the picture you can see the existing washer and laundry sink drains on the other side of the wall. I was hoping...

    New 24'x24' Bungalow Woodshop/Autoshop in California

    Love the workbench and upper cabinets. I see your drawing for the tabletop, but can't quite make out total width. I plan on doing 5ea 44" boxes, just like you did along 1 wall. Can you tell me the total length of the bench? Are you doing 1/4" gap between boxes?

    25ft of pipe. It is needed to allow the air to cool so the water vapor can be removed by a fiter.

    Is copper the new gold

    Yes, copper is the new gold. I just spent ~$600 in copper to plumb my garage for compressed air. I could have done it early this year for ~$200. I looked at garage pak as an alternative, and the piping is half the price of copper, but the fittings are about 2-3 times the price of copper. The...

    Some more air compressor plumbing questions

    Hmm, that doesn't sound good that you were compressor shopping again 2 months later. What didn't you like about the Sears compressor? Haven't used mine yet, but the specs were good, and the price was right on clearance. My only gripe is, it is a little loud (Though it is quite a bit quieter...

    Some more air compressor plumbing questions

    I got my Sears 5.5HP 80 gallon compressor wired up and am getting ready to work on plumbing. The first concern I have is the outlet on the compressor is only 1/2 NPT. Is it worth using a adapter fitting into the tank to bump it up to 3/4" NPT into a 3/4" ball valve? I was thinking of running...

    How to unload air compressor

    Here is pics of the compressor on the trailer It wouldn't fit in the garage on the trailer, so we took the head and motor off, then pulled in the garage. Here it is installed: I used the vibration dampers from Grainger to mount it on. Then some 3/8" concrete anchors to hold the dampers...
