Looking to replace my (12) 4 foot fluorescent lights with (12) 8 foot, 15,000 lumen LED’s in my 30’ X 40’ shop. Wondering if that is too much light. Should I go for (12) 4 foot 7,500 lumen lights instead? They will be 11’ off the floor. Both sets are 6,000K.

Scored this Workmate 300 and tap and die set for $50. Can anyone give me more info on the tap and die set? I have no idea of manufacturer, other than made in USA.

It's a Columbian D45-M4 the guy wants $40 for it. Obviously it needs a full restoration. I don't know much about vises and need y'alls input.

A while back I bought a small plastic tool box and some basic tools, screw drivers, pliers, wrenches, a socket set in a plastic box threw them in the box and put it under the seat of my truck. It got to where when I opened the box to get a tool, they had a HORRIBLE smell!!!! I finally pulled...

Looking to mount a air hose in my shop. Is there much difference between the Earthquake XT, Central Pneumatic and the Diablo reels? It would see casual use.

How do you folks organize your screws. I know several of us have a loose screw or two, but that's another story. Not what you put them in but how do you separate them. By length? By size? Head type? Right now I've got hundreds of screws organized by length.....less than 1 inch, 1 to 2 inches...

A co-worker gave me this natural gas wall heater. I'm thinking of converting it over to propane (LP) mounting it on a stand to use in my shop. Anyone here done this before? Pros, cons? If I do how long would a 20lb propane bottle last (say on medium setting)?

Found this saw for sale for $150, may be able to get it for a bit less. It's not made anymore and I can't find a mfg. date on it. It's missing the blade guard. Do y'all think it's worth it?

I've got 8 of the 20lb propane tanks sitting around my shop and need a way to store them so they don't take up so much space. I've thought about some type of rack system or maybe a shelf up high (about 8') to set them on. What say y'all???

Went to an estate sale across the street from my house. Didn't expect much it was the estate if an elderly, very sophisticated lady. But look what I found! It's in perfect shape, doesn't look like it's ever been used. Anyone got an approximate age of it?

My neighbors lamp post in her yard was knocked over and has since been removed. Whoever removed it just cut the wire at the ground and left the wire exposed. I'm afraid this is dangerous and the wire needs to be capped off somehow. The circuit can't be cut at the panel because there are other...

Tool dilemma, need advice (UPDATED 5-3-17) Some of you might remember a few weeks ago I asked for prayer after losing a friend of mine. Before Jim's passing he had expressed to some of us at church about wanting to tear down an old shop in his back yard, said he'd have it cleaned out for us, so...

Who needs a fancy tool cart! An old office chair, some leftover pallet wood and voila, my "fancy" tool cart! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My neighbor sent me this pic this morning of the front of my shop. We had some high winds during the night and apparently my siding took a gust of it. Any siding experts here? I know absolutely nothing about how to put this back up and would appreciate any help you could give me. I have all...

It's not much........didn't take long to build..........wasn't really that hard either, but the wife wanted it and the wife likes it so it's a WIN FOR ME!!!! My question is this. The wood is untreated and this table will be outside on the back patio, so what should I use to treat/seal the wood...
