Did a little cleaning. Hard to find good help these days. IMAG1058 by Garrett, on Flickr

Thanks Jim, I've posted it in one of those threads before. I've changed it up a little. It's a 65 Chevrolet C10 grille, I've added the proper headlight buckets, painted the speaker grilles silver to look more like headlights, mounted it to a distressed barn wood mount and hung it from the wall...

As mentioned, I'm not going to be plugging much into those outlets, I've got other 20A circuits to run power tools and other large draw items. I too am prone to "overkill" but in this case, I already have additional circuits, just not in this area, and I'd rather not have to open up the walls or...

Thanks, I'm not worried about tripping the breaker, the heater is only 750W, just enough to warm my feet below the bench, and that power strip pictured is moved over to my other workbench now, which is on a 20A circuit. Thanks Jim, no subpanel, but as I mentioned to Mustang, I'm not too worried...

Background: I'm wanting to add a few outlets around my workbench. I have a 15A circuit that has 4 outlets across the front of the garage, and 4 down the sides, including 1 above my workbench and one that is inside of the cabinet beside my bench. I would like to branch off the outlet that is...

Iridium plugs come pre-gapped, and most manufacturers recommend to not alter the gap, or damage can be done to the very thin electrode. Fine adjustments can be made by being very careful to only bend the ground electrode and not touch/pry against the center electrode at all, but generally they...

Potato is spelled incorrectly. Potato-singular. Potatoes-plural. Cool sign though, there are many BBQ restaurants around here still using those signs.

Very nice, I may have to copy it, except make it taller and narrower. I've been needing to build a shoe rack beside the garage door.

You know, thinking of this thread, 10 years later, I am working next to the engineer I did my internship under the summer of my sophomore year in college. That ******* never gave me anything. :lol_hitti

I've had good luck with VHT as well, just follow the curing procedure correctly and it should last. Most issues are either with prep, or guys that don't cure it correctly and just take off wide open and burn it off.

I'd say a nice set of calipers would be great, and would be well used. My father in law got me nice 6" Starrett dial calipers after I graduated with a mechanical engineering degree. (I also worked in a shop he supervised for a summer while in school running the lathe and milling machines). I...

Kitchen utensil organizer. Mine are divided between recip saw/jig saw in two little rubbermaid kitchen organizer trays, but if you had tons of blades you could get the 5+ compartment utensil organizers and sort them by type/length. IMAG0213 by Garrett, on Flickr

Assuming the oil pressure gauge is electronic you would need the sender to wire up. It looks like it reads in BAR, so 5 bar would be about 72psi, so not enough for shop air, though for "novelty" you could rig it up as a pressure gauge for tire pressure, etc. You could possibly also figure out...

Ouch, glad that's all that happened, split rims can be deadly. I've had good luck with these air chucks: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008PZ7LMW/?tag=atomicindus08-20 And then just build your own air line for it. I used a 1/4" 4 way pipe Tee, put a ball valve with a quick disconnect air fitting...

Sounds good, if you'd watch the two rugrats, 20mo. and 5mo. that have given me a backlog of projects for years to come.

One year later...I finally cut the top down to size and mounted it on top. Went with 3/4" plywood under the top, poly sealed, laid a bead of caulk on the front edge before I set the top to stick it together a bit. I have about 1.5" of overhang on the front and sides, enough to grab material with...

It's very common, might as well just yank them off and replace them anytime you have them off, they are relatively cheap. Besides, the OEM Iridium plugs and wires are 100K mi pieces, it's not like you need to do a tuneup that often.

My SK has a female 1/2" drive in the handle as well.

It is the International VRS-4200RD from Home Depot. I paid $155 at Home Depot, but Amazon has it for the exact same price and free prime shipping as well. The cabinet itself is a OK, but the door is very flimsy. It has a lock and a spring catch in the middle, mine closed unevenly due to a...
