This Coleman Powermate compressor was made by Sanborn and its twenty plus years old. It stopped building pressure and a teardown revealed a broken piston ring. Mastertool has a piston/rod/ring set for $162, I don't want to invest that in this older unit. Any idea where I can source just a new...

I have 17" hanging round fixtures in my barn, they are rated to a 200w bulb. Any recommendations on something with good light output that won't break the bank?

As soon as I am done with my wiring I need to move the workshop out into the barn, which also means setting up and laying things out. I was thinking of running some pallet racking along the back wall and using one of the shelves as work space. I am curious to hear input from folks, and maybe...

My barn is has open walls and I am using 12-2 MC cable for my runs, mostly outlets and lights. Does anyone have pictures they can post of how they organized the wires? For example, near my main entry door I will have 4 light switches in two metal boxes, looking for an idea on how now to make it...

In a bonehead maneuver I got a little rambunctious with the circular saw and cut into the soft aluminum fence gear rails on my vintage Craftsman 113.27520 table saw. Does anyone have these parts on an old dead table they would part with? Thanks Derek-
