Are there any alternatives to these? After a few years, it seems like several "walk out" and then expose whatever is underneath to weather. Has

I wired a 240v 6kW Ceiling/Garage heater up. It calculates to 25Amps, the directions say use a 30 amp or higher breaker with No. 8. I am using No. 6 on 30 amp fuses. It ran fine for a few weeks, but now that it is colder and running longer stints, it is popping the fuses. I have tried...

My question is regarding the style and romex...not the brand. If not what would be???

.7mm x 19mm aluminum...11 amps max on calculator... Yet look at the fuses it handles. It is very possible to have 50 amps continuously running through this...

I have been using Sherwood Laquer for years. Walk into the local store tell them what I want and they had it. Lately the local store has quit carrying the industrial type finishes and it has to be ordered. The kids working in the store have no idea what I am asking for and it is becoming...

Im not even sure what I am looking for....I don't care what the cost is.... I want the BEST clear I can buy for finished exterior red oak.

I have some 3/8" sheeting that I will be gluing edges up on, pretty much making cabinets so think **** joints, tee joints, etc. Does anyone have experience with something similar? Curious about what screws, and glue work well with it? I'm sure I can figure it out through trial and error but...

Anyone got an idea what it is called???

I have a 12V DC motor: 3 amps - no load 6amps - running 11amps - loaded 20 amps stalled Manufacturer claims they use a 16 amp switch that will allow using it to direct wire the motor to the switch on a 15 amp fuse. In another paragraph they state to use a relay for a motor over 10 amps...

Guys, I need some good soft rubber furniture pads. I have some items that weigh about 75lbs, and I need to put feet on all for corners to protect the hardwood, and not allow them to move when being pushed on. Does anyone here have experience with a screw on style product that will work in this...

I've gotten pretty heavily involved with rehabbing a local baseball field for the boys. Money is limited, so we are trying to what we can as funds are available. Having said that, I have managed to scavenge some older 1500W metal halide field lights. The plan is to install 4 of these on 4...

I purchased these interior panels for my '56. Well, it is a really tight fit. In trying to get them squeezed into place the factory "spot" welds broke. Should I spot weld them back with the soldering iron, or would I be better off using a solvent glue? Keep in mind it needs to be strong! If...

Anyone have a recommendation on a decent hobbyist spot welder. I've ordered 2 and both ****. The second worked decent for awhile but it has lost power too.

I was in the shop today and noticed my heat pump running and the air handler continually running to keep up. At one point it dropped to 62 degrees and never did recover to 65. Needless to say it was -1F outside. I manually switched it over to Auxiliary. How long should it cycle before it...

I need to make some bends in a 1/2" x1' wide piece. I've used a heat gun on pvc pipe numerous times. I'm curious if the foam board (celtek) bends the same waywhen heated?

My bags slip off of the inlet after they collect a bit of dust on my 20 gallon. I guess they get sucked off when the bag clogs... Regardless is there a way or an adapter to keep them on? I looked it over and it doesn't appear like I can even get a zip tie around it.

For starters this is my grandfathers charger, so I don't know if he reversed the leads or he did something else to affect it. Or maybe it just quit.... Regardless though, it will not work. When I plug it in, it hums but there is nothing on the meter, nor is there any voltage shown across the...

I am only in my shop on weekends, and random evenings through the week. so, wanted a wifi controllable thermostat. I picked up an Amazon Smart Thermostat on Prime day. I wired it up and have it working. The only thing I do not like about it is I cannot adjust the heat pump lockout...

Well I got it in a coat of epoxy primer and urethane satin black yesterday. Here are some pictures from the build. Now I just have to get it installed. I started this out by studying various cages. I liked various aspects from each cage (Toms, KE, etc.). There were things I did not like, some...

For starters, I have to say this thing was worth every penny and has paid for itself. However, I have a set of M7 "large" drill bits, that range from 9/16-1" , and I cannot put an edge on them to cut with. Anything over 7/16" starts getting sketchy with the edge quality. I set them to 135...
