I picked this up a while back but haven’t done anything with it, I started pulling it apart to clean it up and install the new tires I bought. I have a couple of questions though. First off, the previous owner had been using it for years with no tires (that’s why the odd blade size written on...

Picked this up from the (semi) local radio classifieds. Met a nice gentleman and swapped $55 for this. A few squirts of WD-40 and I plugged it in and ran it! I look forward to spiffing it up a bit. Is there a consensus on using a factory similar paint, or doing whatever? I've been thinking of...

While these aren't exactly tools, in all my years of construction and mechanics I've seen plenty in the shop or at the job site. The one on the right was my granddads fathers. It was full of coffee and in his lunchbox for almost 40 years of sheet metal work in Missouri. The one on the left was...

Was working at a plant today and saw this sitting in the recycle pile. Sadly there is no way to save it. There were also 5 overhead hoists of varying ages and brands. Most of them seemed easily repairable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My grandparents are at that point where they're downsizing some stuff and my grandad gave me this box of his fathers sheet metal tools, I feel pretty honored by this as he bypassed his own son, and his stepsons (my dad and uncle) because he wanted them to go to someone who would use them...

I am building a new shop and have hit a snag I need to resolve soon. My building is 30x40 with doors on the 30 side, the salesman for my building talked me down to 10' sidewalls, so now I have to offset the lift a little towards the middle of the building. My goal was to be able to put 4 cars...

I have most of the other parts of the build planned out, but I have no idea what to do for ac and insulation. The building is a 30x40x10 'glorified carport' with a 4:12 pitch. What I am thinking right now is DIY sprayfoam on ceiling, and r13 in the walls, which are 2.5" tubing that I'll put a...

I am about to pour my slab and was planning on using a densifier followed by a clear acrylic sealer. I was wondering about adding something to make it lighter, either the dust type stain or even an acid base I could do after the pour. Would the densifier change it, or could I use it with the...

These are pics of my current 2 car 'sorta' attached. It shares a wall with the house but you can't get there from here. This is my third garage reno, the other two at my previous residence. The problem is, I'm never going to finish it... I am now building a 30x40 in the backyard.

Hello all! I have been lurking for a few months now, getting all the ideas I can. Its time for me to start my build thread, I will document it better this time, as I realized that I have almost no pictures of my old shop. This forum has a tendency to make me waste whole days! I have read all...
