Lemonade out of lemons. I have been out of work for more than 13 weeks and just returned to work on a part time basis. My 13 yo and I came up with the idea to repainting my tailgate since it didn’t match. It was an eBay purchase since the original one was rotted out. I consulted a few autobody...

I picked a 1940 Frigidaire over the summer at a local garage sale for $25. She is in decent shape but had to be rewired. I took care of that and all was good until a few weeks ago. I go to get a beer and everything is frozen solid. I unplugged her and waited a few days. Plugged her back in and...

I bought this on craigslist a few years ago and am finally ready to put it into action. I cobbled together a few pieces that came with it including an air filter then an Oiler. This is a first attempt so and advice is appreciated.

I am about to run pipe for my air compressor in my new garage. The walls are still in rough (2 x 4) so I want to have the pipe behind the sheetrock. Can I run either copper or black steel pipe? Also what size do you recommend?

I found this on my local Craigslist and I bought it from an old time bar owner that told me he had to cutup the bar to remove it. It had the compressor replaced abut 15 years ago and weighs a ton. I plan on cleaning it up and keeping beer and soda in the garage. Question: What is the best...

I might have the option to put a lift into my garage and had a few questions. I am a weekend wrencher and would want the lift more for storing another car underneath. I have a friend with a two post lift and he stores his 55 Chevy on the lift and another underneath. I have heard that you should...

Picked this beauty up today. The price was so good I could not say no but as usual there is a catch. The cord doesn't have a ground so when I turn it on and off I get a small shock. The cord is heavy duty and I would prefer to keep it. Is there a way to install a ground in the cord? Any suggestions?

Started tinkering around with this. Couple questions. 1. How do I remove the old wire that plugs into the outlet? Do I or should I re-wire the whole thing? If so I heave never done this before and am wondering if this is difficult. 2. How do I remove the white paint from the unit? I am not...
