    Exposed conduit on garage walls?

    When I build my new garage (which we are planning now), I am very tempted to run surface/exposed conduit. Should I ever change the layout of my garage, adapting the space will be very easy.

    Sell me on a welder..

    You can get a HH210 or MM212 for a steal if you watch carefully. I paid $750 new in box for mine. It was sitting in a guys garage for a year before he decided he would never use it. If you can deal with 220 only, the older MM210 is AWESOME and a big step up from from the current 110/220 MVP...

    Lets build an industrial grade deruster

    Caustic soda = lye = sodium hydroxide. It is readily available at home supply stores and elsewhere. Sodium gluconate is a chelating agent used for food preservation and cleaning. It is legal to obtain, but I cna't think of any place to get in bulk easily. You can always order form a...

    King Tony M7 or Klutch impacts

    A hobby user here, but I am VERY pleased with my Klutch compact gun. I use it for near everything I can put a socket on. Fast, powerful, and light enough to use all the time. Only time I had an issue was getting a flywheel off an engine. Honestly, I was more worried about cracking the...

    Lets build an industrial grade deruster

    PM sent. I am really enjoying the build, and maybe I will have space for a similar tank at some point. I love fixing broken stuff, and this would be even better than a parts washer :)

    dust collection

    The harbor freight dust collector is pretty highly regarded, esp when coupled with a cartridge filter. If buying new, get it on sale and use a 20 or 25 percent off coupon. However, you can pick up NICE used units on CL all the time. http://workingwoods.com/hot_rodding_a_DC.htm

    Triple Axle Trailer Build

    Lots of tongue weight there. Make sure you load any 4x4 trucks with the front end facing back to help help distribute that weight. Same for other heavy loads--center it over the axles. Of course, you probably know more than I do since you can build a trailer and I just look at yours with envy.

    Why are Craftsman tools being crticized so much?

    My father's old craftsman sockets and wrenches are made of stainless and/or heavily chromed vanadium steel. They don't have a spot of rust despite being abused by two generations of children AFTER working on boats in a marine environment. My recent (2010) Craftsman tools have rust all over...

    Regulator/Filter

    I'm going to jump in. Can someone recommend a filter or a couple filters off the above site? Or something else if nothing from IR outlet suits the bill. Would like to use various air tools (small impact, air gun, inflate tires) and then do a little painting here and there--stuff the size of a...

    Speedaire Compressor - Good Deal?

    I have it's big brother, a 4hp 2z630 with 60 gallon vertical tank, that I paid $300 and put another $100 getting it set up just the way I like. It is a very nice compressor. Not flashy with outrageous output claims--just solidly built in the USA.

    use 1 inch wide paper or "silk" medical tape to tape the mask over your nose, sealing the gap that sends the moist air into your glasses.
