    ALC Soda Blasting Conversion Kit for ALC media blaster. Needed? 3/32 Orifice?

    I have a good old ALC sandblaster. I need to do some soda blasting. ALC has a conversion kit. Around $180. From what I can tell, it's just made up on parts that you can piece together from Wal-Depot, for a fraction of the price. However, when searching the interwebs, I did find a post that...

    Here we go again..... A New Accessory Building

    Currently designing an accessory structure (stickbuilt garage remodel really) with an odd foot print (34(w) x 44(L). Footprint is due to site and other constraints. Current footprint is 24x26. At least we won't have to pour as much concrete. 16x7 double garage door (existing, but must be...

    Real World Roof Pitch (snow and composite shingles)? 3.2x12

    Jack/Ram ID

    Hello. Picked up a serious H Frame press the other day (we'll have to start an entirely new thread about this beast). Although it was not the original ram/jack for the press, this old boy came with the unit. The Blackhawk P-76 pump is obvious. However, I can not ID the jack. Only markings...
