    Milwaukee and Dewalt air horns?

    Stumbled across these last night on eBay. Obviously someone is putting these together from parts/pieces and not made by the tool companies. Anyone got any insight on these? I’m thinking one with a set of Dixie or La Cucaracha would be handy for entertainment. eBay link

    Looking for US General cabinet side handle. FOUND!

    I’ve got a new 26” HF box. As we all know it only comes with one side handle. I think the bigger boxes handles are the same. But I need another if anyone never used theirs. This is the 22” deep box.

    Best wall track system?

    Setting up new storage shed and I need a good wall storage track. Had a small 4' section in my last home but left it for the new owner. One thing I really disliked (and I do not remember the brand, but it came from Lowe's) was that the hooks did not lock into place. Sometime I would lift the...

    Another garden hose thread. This time, 3/4" only please.

    I'm needing 300' of 3/4 garden hose to provide water to my pressure washer. Everything out there seems to be a **** shoot on quality. My preference is to buy '75 footers and couple when needed. These will be stored in a shed when not in use so I need to make them manageable to roll up and...

    Ryobi 18V edger anyone?

    Anyone try the edger yet? Mixed reviews everywhere. I bought the anemic pressure pressure washer and have a couple of the bigger batteries already. Here’s my situation. Bad back. I’ve got a Troy gas edger I’ve been using a few years now. New home and now I have 4X the edging on lawn day...

    Educate me on CNC Plasma cutting please. I have a project.

    I've got a project I want to do that will require a CNC program and time on a table. For the past 12 years or so I have been hoarding two sheets of brushed stainless steel a friend bought to glue to the sides of his refrigerator. Rough guess, 24" wide by 60" tall. He gave up on the idea was...

    Pressure washer use on a dock, using lake water as water source

    I have a smaller 110V Ryobi pressure washer I got from the Home Depot sale a while back. Just got a new home on the lake and pressure washing the dock is starting to look like it will be a 3 or 4 times a year event. Dock is covered with Trex, so I won't be blasting and ruining a wood surface...

    Planning a 12 X 16 storage shed

    For price comparison, doing a stick built myself (or a contractor due to health issues) vs. one of the Heartland buildings delivered as a kit and hiring out the construction I cannot handle. Do the "kits" really offer any savings? Or just a gimmick to those that cannot plan out things...

    Let’s talk more about air compressors

    My turn! I’ve had a very old Speed-Aire 60 gallon in my garage for 20+ years. Was probably 10+ years old when I got it. I’ve rebuilt the head once already. Next month we’re moving to our final “retirement” home on a lake. I’m having to do a lot of downsizing. Considering I’ve gone to just...

    Another thread on finish for wood bench top

    About 2 years ago I built my bench with a butcher block top and red oak edging. My finish of choice then was BLO. We had a plumbing leak from above a few weeks back and today I discovered where the water was not dried up and allowed to air dry, it turned black. Even where my son placed soda...
