    Building a 10' x 12" shed. Are bricks high enough?

    I have an old concrete slab in the backyard and I'm about to build a shed on it. I want to keep my motorcycle in there and the usual yard tools. Here in Vermont, we get a good amount of snow and rain and I'm thinking it will be best to raise the shed up off the slab. I know it would be less...

    Least Expensive, no frills, 2 car garage

    I'm in the process of moving to Vermont to a place with no garage. I know. The horror of it all! We got a foot of snow last night and I'm tired of cleaning off the cars and re-shoveling the areas around them already. What is the most dirt cheap solution the sheltering the cars during the winter?

    Best Deal on a medium duty work bench

    I am setting up a new guitar repair shop at my place and need a decent work bench to do repairs on. It doesn't need to be heavy duty, but does need a sturdy set of legs so it doesn't wobble back and forth during several of the repair operations I perform. I have looked at a lot of Harbor...

Well, I had to use it yesterday to drill a few holes in mild steel and WOW! I forgot how much balls this thing has for a cheap hand drill. Way more powerful than the...

    Printed Circuit Boards Wanted

    I'm looking for PC Boards that are un-used and have no components in them. They must be at least 8" x 9" and preferably .040 to .080 thick. They will be used in a non-electronic application so the actual circuit is not important except that it look cool.

    Articulation Clamp - urethane Jaws

    Used one of these for the first time today! What an incredible clamp! Allows me to do things I couldn't do otherwise. Shaping a guitar neck and forming the volute and heel. Much easier when you get a good grip on it!

    Ergo-Vibe, cutting guitar body angles on the table saw

    I didn't have much in the way of tools when I built this proto-type bass guitar. The body angles were cut by taking the rectangle piece of wood, shimming up one edge, and then running it through the table saw. swing it around 180 degrees, change the angle and repeat. Then I cut the body shape...
