On my property I have a 40x60 Gambrel barn in fair condition but needing a new roof. Currently the roof has the original wood shingles and two layers of asphalt shingles. The barn dates from the 1910's and the roof is leaking as well as some upper beams in the loft showing some rot and various...

Gentlemen, I just picked up and rebuilt a blue point 1/2 impact wrench, runs great! I'm having trouble finding impact sockets that go on the retaining ring style keeper. The one with the rubber o ring under the clip. Anybody know a brand that will work with the ring retainer anvils? The...

So i'm contemplating picking up an old gas pump for outside my garage, to place between the two doors. I have a short concrete extension in front of the doors that extends 2' before the gravel starts. Knowing the number of thieves and d&%k heads in this world i'd like to secure it so it...

Quick question: I tried earlier to add my garage remodel thread to my signature line by copying the address and pasting it in the "insert link" box when prompted after choosing that option. It seemed to work but when I click on it in a new post I made it just says its not a valid web page yadda...

Put a down payment on this baby until the weather gives me a chance to bring it home in the next few weeks. Condition is good, everything cleaned with new bearings. VFD installed so it can run on 220v single phase with remote pot for easy speed changes. Built sometime in the 40's I...

Ok so I'm picking up this little beauty in a week or two... Its 3/4 the size of a Bridgeport and weighs in at about 1700lb. The seller can get it on the dual axle uhaul trailer with the ramp on the back. It will be on a pallet secured with lag bolts and strapped in with lots of 2" ratchet...

Anybody ever seen one of these? Seller states its a model #71 20/185 amp. Obviously its a stick welder, but i'm thinking its AC only... beyond that I can't find any info on it on the web.

It appears that you shouldn't do it... Ordered $28 worth of stuff they didn't have at the store when I went and 9 days later it still hasn't shipped...lol!

Trying to figure out what VFD I should get for my lathe motor. Its a 220v 3 phase 3/4HP unit. I have at my disposal a standard 110v wall plug or a 220v dedicated plug. All things being equal is a 220v powered VFD better than a 110v VFD? Or doesn't it matter since 220v 3 phase comes out the...

This pedestal grinder is up for sale and I'm wondering what make it is... unfortunately these are the best pics I can get.

Picked this up on a road trip last weekend... condition is good, cuts nice. Needs some cleaning but its all there with the front material supports and the backstop gauge...

First a little catch up... After a year long search we purchased a farmhouse with barn and garage on a few acres of land just outside the city... In true man fashion the garage was a major selling point... after working in a small 1920's one car garage with a dirt floor at the last house I...

I'm the proud owner of a Saylor Beall 5hp 80 gallon compressor and I'm in the process of planning my shop air lines... but stuck at what size pipe to use: 1/2 or 3/4. The system will have two runs, one will be 30ft long and the other will be 20ft long. Both air outlets will have at most a 50ft...

So we're getting ready to move and the house were looking at has an old (but nice!) 2.5 garage, that stands 15ft from the house. It also has the original wiring (not so nice) consisting of two wires running over antique insulators, through the siding, and to all the dim 60w bulbs with foil pie...

I ran across this forum while searching for electrical sub panels and it looks like a good place to register! I'll be upgrading garages in a few months and will have some issues I need a hand with i'm sure! Cheers, Jason
