I have a unheated, uncooled, shop area. Certain times of the years humidity is a real problem. Some days there is visable moisture on metal equipment like the drill press, lathe, etc. Anyone use a paticular brand or type of chemical you use to displace this moisture and help prevent rust? My...

I have an attached, unfinshed, 2 car garage that I may want to put a dog door in. My large German Shepard used my worn out "store bought" door for years. Any ideas on a nice setup? Thanks, Randy

For 20 years I had a small Sears horizontal tank compressor...did tons of body work, paint jobs etc...ran it to death. When ever I would drain it water would run across the floor. I used ice buckets and all the tricks to trap water when the paint was at hand....all seemed normal. A couple...

I was reading the thread about rust in a gas tank and it got me thinking how I would do it... which leads to this... Several years ago I bought a Harbor Freight paint shaker for about $99. http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=paint+shaker It is one of the most used, most...

With a lot of help from my oldest son, my new lift is now installed and working great. It took both of us to get the towers upright and again to get the top plate installed. After that, it was mostly nuts and bolts...12 ft off the floor, and I hate ladders. :mad: Still, I worked though my fears...

This is a certified 10K 2 post lift. While it has 3 stage front arms and 2 stage rear arms, it can have the towers installed opposing each other, or turned to the rear 35 degree. I have not found the drawback or reason to turn the posts...must be something I am missing or they would not make it...
