    I’m looking to install a dust collection system in my shop and have a few desires for it … I’d like it to not only be able to gather and separate material like a traditional dust collector but also to be used as a general exhaust system to clear welding smoke and other particles that may be...

    Powermatic Speed Dial Model 1200

    This drill press is up for auction locally to me and it looks to be in very nice shape and I am curious what it’s worth? I went to look at it today and fired it up, and it runs through all the speeds, very smoothly and quietly. It has an MT3 arbor and had no noticeable wobble. It also has a...

    Whilst shooting the breeze with a great uncle of mine who has been there and done that in his 91yrs on this earth we got to talking about life before mechanical air conditioning. He mentioned that they'd have a sprinkler on the house roof to keep it cooler in the house back in the day...

    1yr Old House Window Condensation

    When it gets below 20F our windows condense to the point of water gathering on the bottoms. We wipe it up morning and evening but it's getting old. House is set to 71F all the time. Humidity has been below 40% downstairs for as long as it's been cool out. Seems to happen on all the windows...

    Help finding a fastener !!

    I'm not sure where this belongs as it's more of a wanted thread but the solution may require some fabrication if the part doesn't exist. I have a New Holland round baler that I want to put dual tires on. I found this dual adapter for a Ferguson tractor that is the wrong size BUT it leads me...

    Shop Lighting Layout - asking for opinions

    This is the proposed lighting layout for my soon to be built farm shop. The building is 54x72x18 and will have bright white steel everywhere inside. The lights will be a UFO style light, or that's what I have in mind right now. I'm open to suggestions for that as well. The reason for using a...

    Repair and coat pitted concrete

    Okay so first off this isn't a garage/shop floor but rather a cattle water trough. The concept is the same though. They are pitted up and I'd like to repair them. They are constructed with concrete and currently have a thick paint of sorts over the concrete. I'd like to strip the areas down...

    Twentieth Century T-18-C AC Welder

    I acquired a Twentieth Century T-18-C AC Welder when I purchased my property. I got it at the auction where I also purchased the property. It works great but is not an easy welder to use. I actually purchased it from the son of the original owner and he said his Dad purchased it in 1936 and...

    Dewalt 60v Flexvolt 1/2" impact gun

    I'm in the market for a new cordless impact. The ol' DeWalt 18v XRP gun has been through thick and thin and is getting tired. I have a 60v circular saw and LOVE it and was wondering if anyone knew if there were plans to release a 60v 1/2 impact soon. Something similar to the DCF899HP2 <-...
