I know Lowes and Ace and everyone sells Craftsman now, but they don't have the selection of individual pieces like the old Sears stores did. They are all closed now. Tried the 1-800 number. Big run around of menus till you finally get a person. Then it gets really funky. They need a tool part...

Looking for something like this, but I cant staple it to my metal roof like you would in a house with OSB on top of the rafters. Would like PVC as those foam ones are super wimpy. https://www.sprayfoamsys.com/product-category/spray-foam-parts-supplies/venting-systems-3/accuvent-5/ I also...

I need storage for all my consumables and other bits. Was going to build some drawers or something but I have seen a few posts with carts built around toolboxes or toolchests Let’s see them!

Back in the day when I learned to weld it was red for steel and stainless and green for aluminum. I have recently been reading that invertor machines changed this. Now I'm lost. I weld steel, stainless steel and aluminum on my Miller Dynasty 200DX. Seems like some of the new brews of...

Was coming home and stopped at a sale just around the corner for my place. Saw this and my eyes lit up. Almost got a rug burn pulling my wallet out when he said $45. Everything is free moving. Needs a few rods for handles but that’s super simple. Thing must weight 150lbs my back is...

I found one of these used for $800. Has coolant, he claims it was $3800 when he bought it new. He's the original owner. https://www.grainger.com/product/DAYTON-1-HP-Horizontal-Miter-Band-2LKU1 Looks like a copy of the Ellis 120, which is made in the USA. Not sure where Dayton is made, or if...

Sorry, this is house related not garage, but I don't want to join yet another forum so here it is. Had an incident this year where the float hung up on our electric sump pump and flooded the basement (not bad, but 2" of water is enough to saturate the carpet and weep up all the drywall walls...

39x69" 1" thick top that was Blanchard ground. 4x4" base and legs. Vice is included (never heard of that brand, but quick Google looks like it was only like $200 new?) Few drilled holes none threaded. What you guys think? It's local and he has a forklift to load on my trailer.

Floor was done in this order: Excavate/level Compact Poly sheet Styrofoam board Staple 1" pex tubing to Styrofoam Put rebar on bricks to hold it up. Pour 5" of concrete Where I planned to put a car lift I had areas with no pex put in so that's no concern. But if I want to bolt down say a...

Now I need to make it useful. It's 24" wide and 66" long. I want to use it to work on Atv's snowmobiles and garden tractors. Seems I could add some extensions to the platform and a small ramp on the back. Thing weighs 900 lbs and goes up to 56" high. It's 120v motor that runs a...

Now I need to make it useful. It's 24" wide and 66" long. I want to use it to work on Atv's snowmobiles and garden tractors. Seems I could add some extensions to the platform and a small ramp on the back. My buddy uses a motorcycle lift with extensions for similar. His has casters on...

Are they decent, always see a handful for $100-150 on craigslist. Look like maybe they are 80s vintage plus or minus a decade? Some are even listed as "radio alarm saws" :D Seem to take up as much room as a table saw by the time you put them on a stand with table.

I plan to put a rec room up there with tv, couches, pool and air hockey table, maybe a fridge etc. Then the other half will be for storage, maybe some rooms like a paint room etc. All that doesn't sound like anything more substantial than residential house loading, but the question is the load...

I'm going to have two 12' wide by 10' tall or 12' wide by 12' high overhead doors on the front of my shop. I would like to see examples of larger carriage doors. All the images online are house garage sized. This is the style I'm thinking of.

Considering a 4 step epoxy floor on my shed once complete. I have some surface finish issues (Freeze pops) with the slab I want covered up. I have heard horror stories about people getting chips out of the floor with something as simple as a jackstand with a car on it. Also see big chunks...

We are going to put a 36" one on our pantry, I will want to put a couple on interior rooms in my shop (8-10' wide). I'm sure some of you guys are using them in your garages and houses, how about some pictures and details. Seems the big box stores sell kits now with tracks and rollers. Would be...

We are doing some rennovating and pulled down the ceiling drywall in a room and the insulation above it was all chewed up and filled with mice poop. House is 16 years old. The attic is shared with the wrap around porch that goes around 2 sides of my house and is also connected to the attic...

Bought this older play system today. All the structural beams are rock solid but as we took it apart we found some of the boards sitting on the ground, the floors and roof panels are rotten. I know there is a lifetime warranty on the wood but I'm not the original owner. Should I try to...

Almost ready to pour concrete. Originally thought I should have a plumber rough out bathroom drains before the slab is poured. Need a sanitary permit by the plumber to the county that says it's possible to hook up to the existing house septic system. $160 for the permit and $500 to rough in...
