    New powder coating oven build

    I've been in the market for a long time, ever since I tossed an old kitchen oven about a year ago (and I've had ambitions for a while before that). I was planning to go based on the plans here, along the lines of the one @lilscorpion built, but then I saw a pizza oven for sale at a local...

    My Audi project

    So, pretty much immediately after meeting @CapriMikeC last April at Radwood and commiserating over that hooptie turbocharged life, number three rod exited the chat from my 311,000 mile Audi UrS6. It had been a while coming. In May of 2020, the head gasket let go. I got it back together with a...

    FCAW lap joints on 18-22ga sheet

    I'm fairly competent with my welder (a basic FCAW Lincoln 35-88a unit), but I'm going to help a friend tomorrow make a replacement for the lower air guide in her 3rd gen Firebird. It doesn't have to be pretty, but it would be nice if I didn't blow any holes in it. I figured my best option...

    Air line coupler compatibility

    I've got a nice new to me compressor, and I'm standardizing to tru-flate type couplers with 3/8" fitting-side to 1/4" NPT tool-side fittings. It was nice and convenient with the Lowe's T-type 2 male/male, 1 female/male, 1 quick disconnect female fitting pack, but they don't sell the 3/8 to 1/4...

    Rancho Relaxo: ambitious but ****.

    In December of last year, I moved into a new place. Unlike the old house, this one has a garage (the old one had a driveway, and the master bedroom was converted from the garage). It's a smallish 3 car, in that I couldn't fit 3 full size cars or trucks inside - it's got a 16 foot door and an 8...

    Odd gable vent placement

    I've finally closed on and moved into a new house with a great 3 car garage (yay!), and I'm getting ready to reassemble my workbench inside, but the place I want to put it has the oddest thing: what looks like a gable vent, installed at ground level. I don't want to block an air intake. I'm...

    Exterior hardwood finish/bench top

    Though I lack the requisite garage, being a carport dweller, I nonetheless love my tools, and workspace. To that end, I'm dumping my old workbench. Since I'm a carport dweller, I have the somewhat unique problem of having my stuff rifled every once in a while. I mitigate this by bolting down...
