Thanks, the bit is actually called a "rotary file". A tapered aluminum oxide bit would have worked great too but I can remove material quicker with this.

So when cutting EMT conduit with a cutoff wheel, there's always a burr left inside. Untitled A $3.49 burr bit chucked in a drill is all that's needed to clean them up. Untitled Lights mounted with threaded eyes rated for 95lbs each. Plenty. Untitled Light! Only have 5 of 20 mounted. It's...

Perfect example of why I don't see labeling something as an "heirloom" just because it may be of higher build quality/condition. If the next guy who gets it throws it out, then it's not much of an heirloom now, is it? Awesome story Michigan Mike, greetings from your southerly neighbor! :beer:

I wouldn't spend the time building a so-called "heirloom" bench to a standard which includes options which I don't intend to rely upon. I tend to build what I need, and use what I build. I see the attraction to having a bench with every option available (just to look at I guess) but if I...

:lol_hitti I was just going to say, I don't have a junk drawer. I built an entire shop around my junk! I would love to be able to consolidate all of my junk into a drawer!

The steel ferrule that threads into the sealtite is imperative for proper bonding of the sealtite to the fitting body. OP, you are correct. The lock ring bonds the fitting to the enclosure via the body threads and the lock ring teeth. The teeth have small knurles on them to get through the...

Nice! How big of a unit did you go with and how large of a volume are you heating? What type of insulation? Only reason I'm not going with forced air heat is due to dust being moved around the shop.

Thanks for the interest in the build guys! From what I figured, I moved between 75-80 yards of dirt over the last two days. Given that my bucket capacity is roughly .42 yards, that's 190 full bucket loads give or take a few. I've got a lot of fill dirt laying around now. This is my 50x64...

Brian, I’m assuming it had a high pressure problem causing rich combustion? Either way, it produced a bunch of CO over the day. Another reason why detectors are of utmost importance. In the winter our homes are locked up tight to keep the heat in. Problem is it keeps other stuff in too...

I work around extremely high levels of CO. We wear personal CO monitors due to levels of CO that can make you unconscious, kill you in a very short amount of time, and levels that will explode if oxygen is introduced into the furnace atmosphere. As stated above, CO usually is less dense than...

I rented a Hilti hammer drill with a 2 5/8" core bit and made a nice hole for a 2" PVC sleeve to pass my water line from the shop to the house through. Some hydraulic cement and that's all good. It was a beautiful day to run a shovel today. Finally got some time to finish hanging the 12x12OHD...

Should have fired my builder on day 3 and built it myself. My list is too long to share here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

:lol_hitti I guess it depends if you have the ability to control the climate. Closed for me.

The galvalume treatment provides the majority of the protection to the steel from corrosion. Don't listen to those "few people". "Eventually" everything corrodes.

Yep we’ve definitely had our fair share of rain around here lately. I’ve heard 3.5” where I’m at. Good luck in the woods chevyguy! Thanks z, just always need to be covering your own **** these days! GLTHFJ60 thanks, it’s been working flawlessly so far. It’s range is 3 miles so 100 yards...

Quoted for truth, thank you!!!

Oil and filter ($75) for the wife’s Durango. Also changed the HID headlight bulb ($100) that was burned out. Then went out and finished slapping up the steel ceiling in the shop in my sig. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I ordered a temperature datalogger so I can start trending the temps in the shop just to see how things change as more levels of insulation are installed. I also wanted to share a piece of networking equipment I bought that negated the use of ethernet cable from the house to the shop to provide...

This Streamlight Stinger LED has served me well in the last 5 years in a pig iron smelting plant. I bought one for home and work gifted everyone a custom laser engraved one for a record we broke. I have zero reasons to want to try something else. Untitled

I installed 1/4" XPS behind my wainscoting panels, foil taped the seams, then sprayed 1" closed cell foam to seal my 48x64x14 building. Link in my signature has pics of the XPS behind the wainscoting and bare steel above. Hindsight being 20-20, I would have house-wrapped prior to siding and...
