    Any Wells-Index Experts on Here?

    My dad has a Wells Index model 847 knee mill in his shop. It's rarely used and needs a good going through, lubing, and cleaning. I've used it a few times but it's so cluttered in his shop I get frustrated working in there, and I've just been using the Bridgeport at work when I really need to get...

    Mezzanine Dreams: Feasibility and what to Expect

    Funnel/greasy item storage?

    For the life of me my funnels and hoses I use for brake bleeding etc always seem to end up either in some corner of the shop or piled on top of my oil drain barrel. I always clean them after I use them but some inherently drip, or seep oil. I'd love to see how you guys store funnels, etc when...

    How rediculous is my light idea?

    Hi all, I'm hoping to get some advice on a hair brained idea I have. I'm thinking of buying 3 ufo style high bay lights for above my shop doors. The main purpose is for outside working light, these will not be on all the time. These will be hung about 3 foot from the face of the building above...

    What kind of heat for 30x50 insulated steel building

    First time poster here, though I've been lurking here for a while. I have an insulated 30x50 steel building with 20' ceilings in northern/central NC. The plan is to have a loft over half of it but for the forseeable future it's all open. Winters are mild, but we get a couple of 6" snow falls...
