Would anyone here know what brand/model this air compressor would be? there is no identification tag on it anywhere!

If running teck cable that has #2 aluminum wire in it, wouls 2" PVC work ok? I mean can I actually make the teck cable bend the 90 degrees through the 2" LB to get through the wall?

Hey guys, I just trenched in my tech cable from my power shed to my shop. It's 4 wire #2, so it's pretty large but not huge I guess. I have it coming out of the ground directly under where the breaker panel will be mounted. A couple ideas I have are; Bring the cable up the side of the wall...

Ok, my plan is to use an engineered laminated beam for my 12' X 14' garage door. (Rather than 2x12's) i am stick building with 2x8's. Question is the thickness of the beam. Are they custom made for the dimension of lumber being used? Or are they a standard thicknesses, and I need to use 2 to get...

Just starting to get a plan together on my shop after 10 years of waiting. I'm looking at doing a 4/12 roof pitch. My goal is to put 14' wide lean-to's on each side of the building. One of which is for our (very) large 43' 5th wheel toyhauler. It has a height of 13.5' (air conditioner) So to...

Lean-To On Side of Shop for RV 5th Wheel How many of you guys put a lean-to onto the side of your shop for parking your RV under? Our XLR 5th wheel toy hauler is about 13.5 feet tall. Do you guys think a 16' side wall is going to be enough for me? I'm hoping to get started on my build in about...

I just picked up a fairly large (to me anyway) old used Empire brand sand blaster cabinet. I don't have pictures or even a model number right now, but I was curious if anyone else on this board has one? I am guessing this thing is 20+ years old, maybe even more? If you got pictures post them...

Going to start construction on a 32'X56'X16' pole barn this spring. The land is pretty flat already, but will still need something to ensure the pad, and the building is level. I have been watching on EBAY to see what is out there, as I have no experience with either a transit or a rotary laser...

Looking at buying 30' trusses. Curious what you guys paid per each for yours?

I bought one of those small Eastwood powder coating kits. Was planning on using an old oven to melt it with. Was curious if anyone has built their own oven for doing larger pieces? If so, could you post up some pictures and maybe a description on how you did it?

Looking at building a pole building this spring. (30x40) We want to put up a mezzanine across the back, and possibly one day turn that into a little appartment for guests. My question is if anyone has some pictures they could share of something like this to give me some ideas? I want it simple...

Still planning my shop build. It will be up near our house in our yard. Our house is all traditionally sided. Just because of cost, the shop will have a metal roof for sure. Also considering putting house style siding on the bottom 4-5 feet of the shop, then metal siding for the rest. Also...

Considering building a pole building this spring. Looking at about a 32X40. I was going to buy 24' 6X6's and put them 6' in the ground. That would leave the walls at 18' high. Now my question is would 18' walls look funny on a building this size? The reason for the height is that I want to...

I seen a post once where someone built a sweet patio heater. It kind of looked like a big coffee table made out of brick that he put a natural gas burner in, then filled with a gravel. I have been looking, but my old eyes just are not seeing it. A link would be most appreciated.

So I am in the planning stage for my 32 X 48 X 16' pole building. Due to the cost of this project, my plan (hope actually) is to begin construction in early spring, and get the complete shell finished before winter. (Roofing, sheeting, doors, windows, etc) I won't be able to afford the interior...

I was about to put these on EBay, and thought I would offer them up here first. These are very slightly used Snap-On torque wrenches. Click style. I have a 400 lbs/ft one as well as a 600 lbs/ft one. Both have their original cases that are in near perfect shape. Each piece may have some oil or...

Just thinking about my future shob build and making a list of things I will need next spring when I start construction. I plan on running 100 amp service and was unsure of what the requirements are for a welding plug, as well as a 220 air compressor plug? 40s? 50s? Also, I plan on installing a...

So my house is fed by my power shed. In the power shed there is a regular breaker box with a main, then all the legs. My house is fed by a pair of 100 amp breakers. (pinned together) My question is if this is considered 100 amp service or 200 amp service?

I am in the budget stage of my pole shop. Planning on about 30 X 40. I am unsure of what the spacing should be on the 6 X 6 posts. Can I go 8', or is that too much? Maybe 6' ??? I already have a pole building on my property that was here when I bought it. It is a 54 X 100 used for machinery...
