    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Nice I love the old worn out Sigs. My Exeter made P220 in .45ACP was **** right outta the box. Trigger was junk and it was literally a Friday gun based on the manufactured date. The old West Germany guns are awesome. [emoji106]

    Tool suggestions wanted - Advice wanted from those in the trade

    More specifically a "demo" screwdriver in which the tang extends to the **** of the handle and provides a steel cap to hammer on. Don't use them except as an actual screwdriver on live circuits though...:shocking: FWIW, I can usually get my plant running again with a Fluke T5 and my 11-n-1...

    I don't do much woodworking that generates a lot of sawdust, I try to stick with hand-tools only. I've been collecting some vintage tools that I use. Still no reply about a gap solution, so I located a piece of 1/8" thick 10"x10" hot rolled that I'll knock out with my plasma cutter and make...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    That was one of the funniest posts I’ve seen on here lately. Which Sig is that, by the way?

    Ran into a "little" snag on my Sterling heater installation. I just spoke with a nice lady where I bought everything and she said everyone who could help is out of the office until January 2nd. :lol_hitti Video of what's going on. Linky to video... They want to use the included tube of high...

    Absolutely! Here it is! Thanks Willy Radio81! I lived out that way in Cleveland Heights then further West before settling down where I am now. Had some college buddies from Ashtabula and we ran back and forth along the coast through college. :beer:

    Heater combustion air inlet size requirement.

    Per the manual... "When buildings are so tight that normal infiltration does not meet air requirements, outside air shall be introduced per Sections 1.3.4.2 and 1.3.4.3 of ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54) for combustion requirements. A permanent opening or openings having a total free area of not less...

    No discount code here. It looks like the lights you are looking at have a 5' power cord, and also have a receptacle on the body of the light that another light will plug into. That's how you can daisy chain 4 of them together and plug in the first one and switch the outlet and it will provide...

    Heater combustion air inlet size requirement.

    I just received my Sterling GG 120k BTU propane heater for the shop and came across NFPA specs on combustion air intake area requirements that contradict the manufacturer specs. The manual states the NFPA requires 1 square inch of intake area for every 5,000 BTU input rating of appliances. At...

    Well well well... Technological advances are supposed to lighten the load on our lives, thus reducing stress. Yet my iPhone decided to be iJunk and heighten my blood pressure and nearly turned itself into an iFrisbee and take a maiden voyage across the shop. So, my Sterling GG120 (Garage Guy...

    Why isn't EVERYTHING 3 phase 480v

    Thank you for pointing that out. :beer: 3 phase power wouldn't be 33% more expensive because of that pesky 3rd wire, etc...it's already there for the main distribution, and that's what spans most of the long distances between inhabited areas across the country. And if people would pay...

    Well it's happening...my 48x60 build

    Haven't spent any time in the shop recently. However, I have ordered a Sterling GG 120k BTU propane forced air heater with a concentric vent kit. Long story short, I didn't want to spend the money for quality radiant tube heaters at this time. My only issue with the forced air units is...

    Metal ceiling in pole barn

    Well you don't have to get all sardonic on us now :beer: Truss spacing depends on a lot of things. As long as the rest of the structure can withstand the forces, they can be a lot further apart than 8' as well. I chose 4' on my building since I knew it would be easier to finish the interior...

    There's no need for any extra framing to hang the steel on if his trusses are 24" OC.

    If you order the j-trim with frieze it doesn't matter what you put up first. Actually it doesn't matter either way. Here's how I did mine with all j-trim. If you check out the link in my signature, you'll see my ceiling is done but I haven't hung and on the walls yet.
