I am a big procrastinator and usually fail at getting my wife the right present for any given occasion. So the last time I ran into this situation I decided I was going to head out into the shop and make her a Rose that would never die. I have seen it done before but I needed a good challenge...

I believe my trusses are sagging in my garage. It's visibly evident from both inside and outside and I believe it is also the reason two of my doors are so out of whack. At first glance there are 2 - 2x4's that run the length above the headers. Novice question probably, but do the trusses rest...

I posted this in my shop thread but figured I would have better luck here. This is the driveway that goes around the house to my shop. It is asphalt. Right now it's to difficult to get my big truck and trailer back to the shop area. Its a good 36' combined rig. I want to remove the trees...

I took a road trip this weekend to see some friends. While I was there he gave me this great SUN Engine Performance Tester along with an old AC spark plug tester. These will fit great in my shop. Any body have any info on these old SUN or AC units? Enjoy!

Hi guys, I have an opportunity for a trade to get an Enco 14 3/4" Vertical Bandsaw and a Grizzly #6760 mill. The mill has a 8" x 36" table and is 220V. I am unfamiliar with the Grizzly's. Anybody have any experience, good or bad, to share about them? I am a complete novice when it comes to...

Does anyone have any experience with glass wall systems? I am looking to do a future project that would open up the wall between a back room and the garage. The wall would be replaced with a glass wall system visually opening up the space for viewing into the garage. I would also need a access...

I am curious to know if there is a Garage Door "Master" control system that will control up to 7 individual doors in tandom or seperately. Has anyone ever heard of something like this or am I just stuck with trace wiring all the sensors and switches back to one central point? (150 ft. away)...

Anyone have experience or photos of them installed? something like these. Thanks.

I have a 60 gallon belt drive compressor in my shop. I have the possibility of getting three more tanks, w/ old broken unrepairable motors. Does anyone have any suggestions on removing the old motors and plumbing the tanks into a tandom configuration? My biggest concern is the pressure shut off...

We recently moved into our new diggs and I now have good bones to start my new dream shop. The rear garage is 3000 sq. ft. and has five bays. Three doubles, a tall RV single and another single on the end. The two doubles on the right are walled off from the taller segment and this is where I...

I have a GE profile performance 50 gallon electric water heater. The home and heater sat vacant for 7 months with the water heater on and no water. When we moved in I started the water service again, the tank filled but there was no hot water. I checked and replaced the thermostat and heater...
