What pump sprayers has everyone had success with for solvent based sealers, Ghostshield 8510 in particular? I use a Chapin sprayer for weed control but want to get a fresh unit for my floor materials. The roundup sprayer is appealing because it has a flat spray tip unlike the Chapin sprayers...

Just put up a new 40 x 40 Shop. We split it into two seperate rooms. One will be a woodshop and the other will have my lift and be used for an autoshop. In my previous shop I used Legacy Industrial's HD40. It held up pretty well but was really slippery when wet. I had many spills under my...

I have three Cree series 304 Canopy lights. The boxes have been open and they were tested but never installed. These are the lights that are installed above the pumps at gas stations. They would be perfect in a shop or lean too. I was going to put them in my soffit but they are too big and I...

Like many, I carry a Leatherman (Wave) everyday. I also find it necessary to carry a flashlight on a regular basis too. I need it daily at work plus my life in the shop outside of work. The flashlight varies but I prefer a 2x AA size. Similar to a Mini Maglite. This I usually just carry in...

I'll say it first..... I stole this thing. It was posted on a local Facebook group for $800. I text the girl last night that if she would take $500, I would pick it up today after work. She accepted and on a gut feeling I left work a lil early to get it. It checked out good enough so I winches...

I finally picked up an 80 gallon 2 stage compressor. I need some advice on a decent particle/moisture filter. The compressor has a 3/4" output so I need a high volume unit. Any recommendations on brand or size? BTW the compressor is an older Sanborn that outputs 18 cfm at 100psi and 16 cfm...

Finally getting around to putting up a white metal ceiling and adequate lighting. I am planning to use these lights from lowes because I have a few already and they fit my budget. They are 8' narrow strip lights with T8 bulbs...

So I lucked into 3 of these things brand new, in the box. Seem to run about $640 each. I am trying to decide if I want to mount them in my shop. I'm going to be putting a ceiling up this month and all new lights. I will be using 8' T8 fixtures but figured these may be nicer over my lift bay or...

I need to make a few repairs to some stainless parts and was going to pick up a 2-lb roll of stainless wire. Not knowing what alloy the metal I will be welding, is there a rule of thumb for what type of alloy wire to buy for general purpose? None of this is structural, just decorative pieces.

I bought myself a Miller 2050 plasma a year ago for my birthday. It was a leftover so I got it brand new in the box from Keen Gas for $1500. Killer deal in my opinion. It works great and I'm getting better at freehand cuts but circles are always a challenge. My wife got me a set of these plasma...

I have been debating if its too early to start a build thread since the building doesn't actually go up until Feb. I want some feedback about layout now though so here goes. I'm putting up a 30'x40'x14' Pole barn. It will have two 10x10 doors and one 10x12 door. The floor will be 5" of 3500...

I'm in the process of planning out a pole barn build and the wife is pushing me to finish the floor. I don't know why she really cares but I'm coming here for advice of if its worth it or not and possibly what kind to use. The building will be primarily used for my home shop and fabrication...
