I've posted some pics of the construction of our new shop on another thread, and lotsa folks asked to see the inside. We finally got moved in this week and I thought I'd share some pictures of the new "Strange Days" shop. Strange Days is a loosely knit group of us guys that concentrate on...

A few years ago I purchased from Costco the stainless steel CSPS toolbox. I'd like to purchase another, but can find no sellers. The company is apparently still in business. Any leads on who sells em?

Anybody have one? I've got a lot of rock to put up in the new shop, and I could buy the HF jack for what it'd cost to rent one at the local rental center.. It looks like an OK item. Anyone use one?

Ok, I know the T12's are gonna be discontinued, but should I be looking for T8 's or T5's? Seems like they come in 4 foot only, Is that correct? How many T5's or T8's does it take to equal the light output of an old 2 eight foot bulb fixture? I read everything I can on this, but it seems...

No, but we hope to work out of one soon. Strange Days is moving out of the old shop and will soon relocate into this new barn themed shop. Its designed to look like a vintage barn with a three story silo. The barn will contain the shop, living quarters and a drive under garage. The first pic...

My buddy Dana brought by a gift for the Strange Days shop today. For a lot of folks this might seem stupid, but the entire interior of Strange Days is a small "city" mostly made from scavanged or re-cycled material. What you might ask did he bring? Well, here it is. I've been on the lookout for...

Heres an update on the Strange Days Shop. It dosent seem like much, but its been a lot of work. I wanted more light and power out on the shop floor cause I was tired of dragging out extension cords. I hit on an idea to provide light, and power as well as some class to the shop. I added...

I'm putting a new 100 amp breaker box in the house. Couple questions. Can it be located in any room? I'd like to place it in a bedroom. Any other things I need to know as far as location? I need to leave 3 clear feet in front of it, right? Any regulation as far as height up the wall?

I'm going to install hot water heating in my place. Can anyone recommend a manufacturer? Any how to links on the web you can direct me to?

Well, after ten years of woodcarving every Thursday night, Me and 3 of my buddies rolled our hand carved Circus Wagon into the sun for some photos.. It'll be pulled by a team of 8 mules in our big local parade in October. Its not quite completely done, but its far enough that you can get the...
