I have an old (about 11 years) 50" flat screen TV that's been collecting dust in my basement since we upgraded for a 70" smart TV. It works great and figure I should put it to use. My shop is 30x40 and is all metal. It's insulated but unfinished, so there are air leaks all over the place. It...

so i am working on a project that requires 1/8" 5052 al/ally. everything thus far has bent beautifully with my Swag Offroad press brake. my issue now is that i need to bend the ends, but the depth is only a 1/2" deep, which is too short to be bent in the press brake. so i tried it in my Harbor...

i'm looking for a switch and/or timer for a 240V ceiling mounted heater i am installing in my garage. the heater will be too high and require a ladder to turn it on every time, so i would ideally like a 40amp switch to turn it on and off as needed. I was also thinking a timer, so that when my...

i picked up an already assembled Harbor Freight blast cabinet that used to be a floor model at one of the local stores, so it was never actually used. i got it for free as it didn't have any of the glass, the gloves or the lights. the rest was otherwise there. i picked up a set of gloves from HF...

Just recently bought a 10 point roll bar kit for my car, EWS .134 wall, and it looks as though they over bent my A pillar bars. I don't have a bender, but can get access to one. Would I be able to bend it back a few degrees to get the angle correct?
