I won an auction lot of 25 hockey pucks, most are old and are chipped up and a few are in cases. I was going to make some vibration isolaters out of a few of them ... but the rest of them ... So was wondering if the Garage could think of some ideas ...

There's one for lathes, so what about milling machines??:thumbup: My new, to me, is an ENCO Model 105-1110. Same as the Grizzly 0705 and RongFu 30. It has a 2hp motor, which can be wired 110 or 220. Came with a small vice, 2 fly cutters and 5 end mill holders. Spindle is an R8 so thinking of...

Anyone have any idea on what this tool set is used for?

Looking at a Rockwell Type 21-100 mill. Been sitting for a while, table is tight, even with clamps released. I'm thinking it just need a good cleaning. No tooling. I can scrape ways and gibs and straighten the screw if it's bent. Only thing I'd have issues with is if the ball screw is shot...

Anyone else check out the new Vulcan brand at Harbor Freight? Bought a pair of the tig gloves for $10, and they look pretty good. What I really like is the cart. $300, but would carry everything I have.

Question ... can a radiant heating system be used as a cooling system too? Or would there be a moisture problem? Just a thought question .... I have a friend who is building a new house, and wants a finished concrete floor with radiant heating ... she's looking for A/C too, but wanted to...

I bought two 330 cu/ft bottles at an auction, then resold them for a good profit. The guy I sold them too took them in to get refills. The weld supplier he went to says they are rental bottles and probably stolen, but their not the supplier as shown on a sticker that's on the bottle. Auction...

I'm looking to make a top side creeper. I think that's what it's called. Something I can lay on, to get on top of an engine, or over a fender. Something like the picture. Anyone have any plans or sketches. I have some ideas, but like some more info. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I have a CP-725-S 3/8" impact wrench, which is made by Chicago Pneumatic (HF). Actually a pretty good gun, but I lost the clip that holds the socket on. Tried an o-ring, and it works better, but I'd like to find the right part. Anyone now where to locate something like this? Tried the local...

Anyone have the HF trailer box? I don't have the time to make a good one, and they have having a good sale this weekend for under $100.

Anyone convert a 5th wheel camper into a car hauler or equipment trailer? I can get a 24' double axle with good brakes for free. Some say the frames are to lite, others say the older ones are OK. This one is older, but I haven't really checked it out yet ... thoughts?

When did you last change your password Hope this is OK, but here goes ... Been noticing a lot of forced password changes on the forums a frequent. So, spent the morning updating passwords on almost all sites I go to. Each password is unique, 12 characters long and contains at least one...

Starting a new trailer build, but before I start welding I want to get all my ducks in a line. My plans so far are to use 3" C channel for front, rear and both side rails. Cross members are looking to be 2x2x3/16 angle, 24" on center. This makes for 4 cross members. Tongue material will...

I was looking at a YouTube on building a jeep bumper, and I came across one from a company called Tab and Slot. Well, they also have a site for DIY weld tables, that you build and are flat within .010 . Kinda cool looking, and I know the idea is solid. Looks to be the same way Boeing made the...

Had a tree come down and now there is wire all over the place. Called the phone company and they didn't do anything, so wondering what it could be. Its flat 2-wire, about 12 gauge. Doesn't seem to be energized, but not happy with it being around. Any ideas?

I'm the new owner of a BendPak MD-6XP. For a lowered car you need to either buy or make some ramps to lift the car up, so it doesn't hang on the arms or cylinder lugs. There are many with scissor jacks that have the ramps, but they are scattered all over the site ... maybe we can bring them all...

I finally got my lift ... Thank you M & J Distributing and the group buy. My order went through fast and shipping took 4 days, two were weekend days. Picked it up on Monday with my trailer at Con-Way Freight. Pictures below are the reveal ... lift looks well made, with just a few paint...

Daughter is looking to buy an old house, and seems the original owners replaced some water pipe, in a new bathroom, with Pex, Blue and Red. Most of it is in the crawl space and uninsulated. Is there a Pex specific way or type of insulation that should be used with Pex? Or treat it as normal...
