Been a while since I have posted anything life always seems to get in the way. Anyhoo I have a Modine Hot Dawg Model#: HD75AH0134 which seems to be an older model based on several things. This heater has worked perfectly in my large garage since we moved in in 2013. But last weekend I noticed...

So I recently picked up a mig welder finally to do all the things I always need to do around the shop. Little did I know what other things would be needed once I purchased a welder. Like a welding table for one thing? So I get on CL and look around and I find a guy about 20-25 min. from me that...

Wife and I are experiencing our first summer in the new to us house. House was built in 1850 double layer brick. The second floor really heats up during the day and we have no attic venting in place to exhaust that hot air. So she wants and attic fan which seems in order. My question is do you...

I have a buddie in Ct. That has his own counter business and he has a ton of post form laminate counters he wants to unload. These are all pre-made high quality laminate counters in many different colors. He told me he would sell them at $5.00 a ft. He has lengths up to 16' and different depths...

So I decided to make a new cross cut sled for my table saw. My current sled is alright but it has never moved through the miter slots easily as I used Purple Heart runners when I built it. I didn't have anything better at the time so I used what I had on hand. It has served its purpose and I was...

I have been wanting a welder for quite a while and have kept my eyes open. I have read tons of stuff here on the subject and know what I should be looking for. I was at the local Homey Depot the other day and they have one Lincoln 140HD unit marked down to $340 and was wondering if this would be...

Well I finished the demo of the room that we are putting the pellet stove into today. I removed all the tongue and groove paneling to expose the framing and much to my dismay the framing isn't exactly what you would expect to see. This house is old built in 1850 but this front room was added on...

Now I realize this is Garage Journal but I figured some of the members here have messed with pellet stove installation before. I bought a used Whitfield pellet stove to install in the front room of the new house. I am going to be doing that this weekend. My question is they make a 3" to 6"...

I found a Wilton bullet vise that opens to 9" and is 18.5" over all on Craigslist right around the corner from me. The seller only wants $75 for it bit it doesn't have the base. ShouldiIgo ahead and pick it up anyway? Can i get a base for it easily? What will a base cost me.? Really have been...

So we moved into an old 1850's home recently and I have been slowly modernizing the lighting in the house. There were some rooms that had no lighting at all..... :confused: So I am adding some Lithonia square flush mount fluorescent fixtures I brought from our last house. They are pretty nice...

Well the wife and I finally got all moved into our new home. It is very exciting but the list of things that need to be addressed is growing by the day. One of the things I need to address now is the back yard. We have two dogs and they have to go out in the evening several times to do their...

Well we are in the process of moving into our new house that was built in 1850. One of the reasons we chose this house is because it has a 37 X 29 garage with a 33 X 17 second floor. TTha was my only requirement for a new place to live. Unfortunately the previous owner was good at only building...

So I have been reading up on garage flooring ideas as we just today closed on our new house. The new house has a huge garage which was my only criteria for the new place we found. I am leaving a detached 500 Sq. Ft. garage that also had a second floor which was only used for storage. The new...

So the wife and I finally bit the bullet and bought our first house at 49 years young. This house is pretty nice but the garage is just a dream come true for me. It is heated, has hot and cold running water, had gas hookups, etc. The dimensions are 37' deep by 29' wide first floor. The second...

About a month or so ago I was looking for an 8" jointer and happened to find one on Craigslist. I called and the gentlemen said he still had it and we made plans to have me come look at it. I knew that if it was as good as the pics I was going to buy it. He only wanted $450 for it and that was...

So I found this air drier locally that a guy is selling. He said it is a medium sized unit Speedaire 3.in.1 refrigerated air dryer. 1/2 HP 36.8 CFM 120V 27" x 20" x 30". I talked to him and he said the unit was in a business he had many years ago and when the business closed he could not just...

I know it has been beaten to death on here but I have been doing a lot of research recently about this and want to fabricate something to take care of the excessive moisture in my compressed air system. I don't have a piping system in my small garage which is only about 500 sq. ft. or so. It...

So I purchased a Condor MDR3 combination pressure switch/magnetic starter off of Ebay and received it on Friday. It came with ZERO instructions so I spent a significant amount of time over the weekend scouring the net looking for any kind of manual or instructions to no avail. I did find some...

I have this Craftsman 3 ton jack I bought 15+ years ago. It has always worked well but recently it seemed like it wouldn't raise my truck as high as it used to so I put it up on my bench and started taking it apart. There are two fluid ports one underneath the pumping ram and then a screw port i...
