    Insurance for your tools and your tools after death……

    Well, I manage my condition very well after 14 years. There is nothing that can be done and no medication that actually works so I just have to make sure I don't over do things and cause a ton of systemic inflammation. If there are more issues coming up then I will know things are on the...

    Insurance for your tools and your tools after death……

    If I ever start to really degrade (I have a degenerative neurological disorder) then I will start selling it all to keep my wife from having to deal with it. My son kinda likes working on cars but not really. No one else would be interested.

    Is this Matco Box any good?

    It is an excellent box and that would be over $1500 here used. Personally if you got it for 1k, it would be a good deal IMHO. I love Matco and Cornwell boxes.

    Zinsco Panel Replacement aka Please help me save my brother lots of money on a bid...

    Hey @Model A Fan . I know I am late to the party but they did swap the panels and added the exterior disconnect? That is required here in WA on all new/replacement installs. I have a 1955 house that had a CH series split buss panel. Black Hills came out and gave me a bid to replace the panel...

    OSB or Drywall on shop walls...

    The OSB has been performing well over the years. Sometimes an engine block gets bumped up against the wall and there is no or little damage. When I did it, I was on a budget and 9/16 OSB was about 6 bucks a sheet at the time. If I could do it again, I would do all 1/4" steel, welded then...

    Is any of this bracing for assembly and could be removed for more space?

    My opinion is that they are supposed to be as they are. The cross braces are tied together and I believe they support the outer gable. Plus they are 24" on center so the cross 2x4's keep them from racking. I would leave them alone and not remove a thing. Take into account the weight of the...

    Show your new tool arrivals

    So I went to Lowe's today to grab some wood putty and I always check out their Back Aisle where discounted stuff is put. There was a sign that said 75% off all clearance items. Based on the marked down price. Well that was a bunch of stuff that was a steal for me so I went to town: Each of...

    RACEDECK - Spring Cleaning SALE

    Plug for RaceDeck. I have had it down in my shop for just over 10 years now and it is still excellent. Only 1 puncture due to a bolt stuck in my 4x4's tire. Still looks like a million bucks. Well, if you could see the floor that is.

    So I have been wanting another 56" US General top chest for a while but I was waiting for a good coupon. Fast forward to today. I got a "We Miss You" text with a link to a 25% off coupon on any single item. I was just in there the other day and got the Bauer 5" random orbital sander so I...

    Lean-to carport next to steep hill

    Well I did a 2 stack eco block wall that is about 25 feet wide. The eco blocks were $25 each and I hired a backhoe guy with a 5ton dump to dig it out and drop them in place. Cost about $1200 or so all in. You didn't really state a budget but I would see what eco blocks are locally and talk to a...

    OSB or Drywall on shop walls...

    I did my whole shop (24x32) in OSB. Works great. I hung it horizontally up to 8' then covered the last 2' (10 foot wall) with a corrugated white plastic roofing panels. The vertical seams aren't very noticeable after painting and I did a blue vinyl tape border along the horizontal seam around...

    Lean-to carport next to steep hill

    So what you could do is take out the trees, dig out a bit and place some eco blocks along the bottom of the hillside. Double stack or whatever is needed then fill in the gaps. It will allow you to place the carport with little issue. Now, I would use a free standing carport in that space...

    I don't have a stick welder and have never done it. Thanks @vwpieces for the post. It is crazy how well this reviews out and I figured for 35 bucks might as well give it a try.
