I've got quite a few gallons (more than 30 actually) of an industrial sourced motor oil - it's a 15W40 synthetic blend for diesel or gas engines - "Engineered for extended drain intervals." It's a lengthy story - but in short - I got it and ended up not using it - and have moved it around the...

Re: Costco/Feit -2 pack 5"/6" recessed light dim led retrofit - $2.99 - not a misprin Most of those rebates are location specific - reimbursement is through the local utility when they are running such promotions.

I'd reconsider using 1 switch for lights. Do you need all of those lights illuminated 100% of the time you are in the shop? For my shop which has 25 8' long fluorescent fixtures, I routed wiring in 3 groups - 1 switch controls 5 lights over my car/garage bay, 1 switch controls 12 lights and...

I paid a crew of 5 framers $1600 and a crane operator w/crane $650 for a day's work. I got all 31 trusses on my 38x60 installed and the roof was fully sheathed with roofing paper done in about 8 hrs. That was the best $2250 I spent on my shop.

I can't find much via google on this lift brand. This is a picture of the mfr label from the side of a 2 post lift. I'm wondering if it is US made and quality, etc. Anyone in the north Atlanta area looking for a 2 post lift?

I've got 10' walls and scissor trusses in my 38' deep 60' wide shop. Plenty of room for a lift - center of the shop ceiling height is >15'. And I've got an 8' high garage door with elevated tracks that follow the truss pitch within about 2' or so. With a 40' deep shop - you should not have...

I'd steer you away from pipe style clamps. I'd suggest some high quality clamps from Bessey instead - K body style. They will have a larger clamping surface and will help square up medium sized assemblies. I've got pipe clamps myself - but rarely use them. If you've got some large sized...

I've got more than a few thoughts on how bad things could happen with that. And that is even if it did work....

I'm guessing it looks something like this?

A buddy of mine is a crew chief for an airline. If I recall the story correctly years ago he told me that SnapOn was running some sort of finance incentive - buy as much as you want and your weekly payment wouldn't be more than $25 or some other rather small amount. The airline mechanics at his...

Before and after of the fireplace mantel that was in our den when we moved here 4 years ago- and the replacement mantel that I finally took care of on the honey do list.

You just don't have enough tools in other cases and boxes in the bottom tray! :)

If K&N filters - or other oiled media filter - actually added HP, improved performance, increase gas mileage - or any of the numerous claims made by K&N, I'm pretty certain that any car/truck mfr would obviously install them as stock.

Fantastic hoses - but they are HEAVY!

From a woodcentral forum post I found on searching - a 60Gal tank at 120PSI would hold about 6lbs of air. I don't think that is significant weight when trying to move a 300lb compressor....

I've seem live demo's of metal spinning using pewter and/or aluminum sheet cut as discs to start. Pretty neat stuff.

I experienced almost the exact same thing with my build -and I had a full gable truss used. Long story - but I noticed when installing exterior siding that the wall was bowing out. We were able to use a come-along and pull the wall plumb from the inside of the building and I installed 4...

About three months ago - I was told by a HD employee that I know that a "fix" was in the works to prevent all of the controversy/issues with customers calling corporate and complaining about penny purchases not being approved. I didn't want to post anything at the time as it wasn't clear...

well - depending on the price, maybe the extension ladder section that is damaged can be removed so you then have a ladder for half the height?

A friend used his Dewalt scroll saw in his apartment. Just set it up on a table. He became VERY proficient in it's use - as he made many small gift type items since he was limited to project size.
