    Rigid TS-3660 Table saw with accessories

    I am selling a Rigid TS-3660 table saw. It was used for one project (built-in desk in my home office) and I really haven't used it since, I have a baby coming in February and going to probably need the extra space in my workshop as well. The saw is one of the best in it's price range and...

    what do you use to hang your gas trimming tools?

    I just picked up an Echo PAS setup and my old storage methods no longer work. I have pegboard but it's probably not strong enough for this...I can mount a 2x4 to the studs though. Looking for ideas for this wall: the red lawn tools will not be used anymore so no longer hung up.

    Echo SRM-225SB vs the PAS?

    I am comparing the Echo SRM-225SB to the PAS setup... Currently I am using a line trimmer to edge and trim wonderfully. I don't know if I really need to go to a metal edger. However I do want to upgrade my hedger and a power head combo seems the best bang for buck. Anyone have experience...

    Best bang for buck for Craftsman if yourself having to replace all your tools?

    I need to replace all my tools pretty much due to a robbery. It's a disaster as I constantly find myself halfway out to my workshop to do something around the house only to realize there is nothing left. :( I had a pretty good set of tools going...it's my passion really. I was brought up...

    Looking to go cordless to gas again, whats a good line trimmer/edger, blower, hedger?

    I have been happy with my Grass Hog 18V by B&D, but the batteries lose their life too fast. The blower is a PITA and I have to carry 4 batteries to do just my front yard and it's slow. The hedger runs forever, but only good to 1/4" branches. My hedges are coming out more 'freehand' looking...

    budget build: 13' wall to neighbor fence driveway gate.

    I was robbed and they smashed my gate. It's 13' total and divided into a 3' 2" people gate and a 11' rolling section. I want to redo it for security with a lock (accessible from both sides if possible). It butts up to a concrete block house and a wooden fence on each end. The ground is...

    Need a stronger gate idea...mine keeps warping with rains

    I have a driveway gate that spans 12.5' total. There is a 4' section for the 'people' and an 8' that I can swing open (pinned by a stake in the concrete and supported on two wheels). This is a picture of it (sortof...)..you can see the larger section and a bit of the smaller in the left side...

    Attaching 3/8" leader hose to wall?

    I was thinking just picking up some U brackets but the smallest they come is 1/2". What have you done to attach your leader hose to the wall? I only have a 8' run which about 1/2 of it would be reel to wall and then wall to compressor which doesn't need to be attached. The other 4' I want to...

    Removing awning anchors from wall?

    I have old awning anchors and the strip of metal the top hinge slid into. I'd like to remove them. They have large nail head on them and don't want to pry out. Is the best way to just cut them with an angle grinder/cutoff wheel then patch the wall? Wondering if anyone here has any tricks...

    Sprinkler question, rotor not turning until I reduce pressure.

    I will probably just buy another one (K2 Smartset by K-Rain), the filter looked fine but I flushed it anyway. The sprinkler will pop up but not turn until I reduce the pressure slightly and restore it. Sometimes it works fine without doing this. Is there anything I can 'clean'? The manual...

    Stain vs epoxy....

    I have a bare concrete working floor. It's clean but hardly uniform in color. It's always been a working garage (previous owner was a engine/welder guy). I was thinking of VCT, but I am not sure if I want that especially when I am hard on my floors and it'd be alot more work. If I do...

    What's a good cheap drill press now? $150 or so?

    I am thinking a 12-14" should be plenty...I do intend to make some adjustable bookcases with 12" stock. I'd like to sand the edges of some larger boards. Sears has the 12-14" delta and craftsman around $200. I'd like a floor stander. Anyone know of any deals? What would slightly more money buy?
