http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/quebec-man-dies-after-losing-leg-in-weekend-explosion-1.2457103 No much details in news, but how much rust could cause such an explosion? I use my 60 Husky 60gal compressor once every month or so, and rarely drain it (like a few times in 5 years), I drained...

Good evening everyone, I have a sump pump located in a 12"w x 30 "d pit. I need to have the switch make the pump work when it's between water level 12" to 24" from bottom. The regular float type does not work due to width restriction. What option do I have ? Thx, Ben

It looks interresting, I wonder how expensive it is. Any experience to share ? Thx, Ben

Hey guys. I have continued my car post project, started a long time ago. [Yes I was busy lol] See post : http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82313 I think I have “over-killed” the posts enough. I am curious to see how much weight this structure could hold. Any way of calculating...

Good day all! I have built some removable wall panels made of MDF to cover the wall around my electric panel. I want something that I can remove if need be, without having any screws to remove and that are showing. After looking around the only thing I could find that would do the job is some...

Preparing for a plasma cutter...

Is it me, but all of the "usual metal cutting tools" could be replaced by a plasma cutter ? I have a grinder with Walter blades (5$ each!), a RIDGID cutoff saw (Lame to cut 4" tubes), and was thinking of getting a band saw... I was doing a bit of fabrication lately, and it just takes forever...

Good day all ! Here is the story. I needed to move one of my garage post in order to have more space to enter my van in my garage. I opted for building a 90 degrees post to get 16" more clearance. I could not move my car port main beam due to the way the 1970 home was built. I decided to give...

I am gathering some info to build my first trailer. (utility trailer w/dump feature, 1 axle 5x10) If you have links for plans or home built trailer that you have built, show your work and post them :) I have found a few plans here and there on the internet. Some looks quite good (The Lincoln...

I am in need of a winter project :O) I need a trailer to carry my atv and carry some gravel. Any of you built a dump trailer that can carry a cubic yard or so of gravel? With an hydraulic system or similar ? Are those plans sold on the internet are any good ? Cheers, Ben

Well, the cottage was about to be perfect, but the foundation contractor didn't align properly the basement window opening in the concrete with the window on main floor. So now it's kind of odd, windows on front of house are not all aligned. :( What option do contractor have ? Cutting and...

Just curious, I will have a central AC installed this spring. I want to have the compressor (the outside box with fan) in a remote location that is about 12 ft from the home. This area is separated from the house by a sidewalk. Is there any way I can run the r410 lines under the sidewalk ? The...

Well, spring is getting there, I will need to finish my backyard that was left to itself after my garage was build. While looking at all the precast options I was considering building my own pre-cast mold to build a "curb" format similar to the one in the attached picture. Have you ever tried...

Just purchased a nice toolbox at Costco. It's a TORIN, 56" pretty nice for the price, ball-bearing equipped. I figured, for the price, even if they didn't have them in red, it was worth it. And it fits perfect in the space I have reserved for a toolbox. :thumbup: Check out the pic.

Good day all, I want to extend metal legs of a work table that I have. It's made out of 1/16" thick 2"x2" O.D. steel square tubing. The closest match I found at the local metal shop was 1/8" x 2"x2" O.D. I want to weld 12" extensions to the legs of the tables. Which rod (#) and size @ what...
