Last boat I built was around 15 years ago when we lived on Vashon Island, WA. It was my "scrap wood dory" that I pieced together roughly based on the Phil Bolger's Windsprint, but with more rocker and a transom. I still have it, but she is showing her age. So now we live in far southeastern...

So I finally ordered a MaxJax last Thursday night through Costco. Got the order confirmation Friday morning: "allow four to six weeks for delivery." Which was fine with me. Things have been hectic and I could use a little time to get organized for it. I figured I'd have time to call the freight...

Maybe not exactly a hot deal, but not bad: MaxJax back on sale at Costco for $1999.99 until 9/27. http://www.costco.com/Dannmar-MaxJax%E2%84%A2-2-post-Portable-Auto-Lift.product.11731656.html?catalogId=10701&keyword=maxjax&langId=-1&storeId=10301&refine= I joined here a bit over a year ago...

I first learned to weld in high school shop back in the 70s. We had four machines--3 were AC buzz boxes and one was a Lincoln AC/DC welder. Of course, there was always a line on the AC/DC welder so I got reasonably proficient on the AC buzzer. Out of school I saved up and bought an AC tombstone...

http://www.dannmar.com/dannmar-products/specialty-lifts/cadet-6000xl.asp What caught my eye was this sentence: "Undercar Access Want full access to every part of your vehicle while servicing it? The Cadet 6000XL is perfect for you." If this is true, it tips the scales away from a MaxJax...

Being self-employed in a solo office, I seem to take vacations in small portions. Today, I took a few hours off, withdrew $100 cash, and hit some pawn shops. My hope was to replace some old Taiwanese and Chinese sockets and wrenches that ended up in my box years ago when I lent it to my Dad...

I was in the local (Lewiston Idaho) Big R today and saw boxes of Milwaukee M18 1/2 drive cordless impact wrench kits. Included battery and charger. All for $299. The model number was 2663-21. Online I've seen 2663-22, at a best price of around $369, but nothing about the "21". Does anyone...

It's been sitting in my shop for more than a year and is well cured now. Originally I was going to make it into a garden table. The picture doesn't show it well, but it's about 30 inches high. It's from a poplar that lost its top in a wind storm. But now I'm think of putting it on casters using...

I joined last July when I was searching for lifts. Since then, I've been blown away by the amazing garages. Mine is not so amazing, but I'm happy with it, although this forum has caused me to dream a bit.... I grew up on a ranch in Montana and took for granted my Dad's 30X70 steel shop. We also...

I stumbled across this forum while I was looking at Audi forums. I just finished up redoing the heads on my wife's Audi allroad after a timing belt disaster--without pulling the engine. I saw, after the fact, that the preferred method is to lift the car off the engine and transmission, which...
