Got an open-box deal on the earlier model (#47840), but it needed a new bushing and HF no longer sells spare parts for it, so I traded it in on a new one. The new model is a "***********" style, 5 x 5 in. cutting capacity with a 10 amp, variable speed motor. The design looks similar to the...

At Sears, via Techbargains: http://www.techbargains.com/news_displayItem.cfm/400815. These are not the 30 in. welded cabinets, but the slightly smaller ones you assemble yourself. Still, rated for 300 lbs., nice full-door metal cabinets for the price. Ken

This looks like a strong rolling utility cart that would be very handy around the shop. Via Techbargains: http://www.techbargains.com/jump.cfm?clkSubId=C345982C0A00345982C384&afsrc=1&id=7999&arg=202493269 Ken

Here are links to some interesting information about hydronic heating I found while researching this topic. Many of these have been mentioned in other threads, but here they are in one place (and they all currently work): . Design Guide...

Over on the flashlight forum, they have a template for flashlight questions that really helps people specify enough information to get meaningful answers to their questions. Here is my suggestion for information people might want to supply when asking questions about hydronic (radiant) heating...

Not mine, but may be a good deal for someone interested in a small (500 lb. cap.) jib crane: http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/tls/2746490454.html Ken

Dunno if this has been posted here before, but I've been using the following site for awhile with pretty good success. Searchtempest.com is a search filter that lets you specify what you're looking for and how far away from your zip code you'd like to look. If I'm looking for something I might...

Looks solid, eh? What would it be used for? http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/tls/2584937146.html Ken

I'm installing a toilet on the concrete floor in my new garage :thumbup:. I have two novice questions and I'd appreciate advice from fellow GJers. 1. There is PEX tubing in the floor for radiant heat, so I'm nervous about drilling holes to anchor the flange. Is construction adhesive a...

Haven't seen this one before. Simple, clever idea from the Make magazine blog. http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2010/07/clever_overhead_garage_storage_hack.html Ken

I'm wiring my pole barn with 10/3, which will make two 20A circuits available in each of several quad boxes. I have installed GFCI receptacles as the first outlets in each circuit, as shown in the diagram, but only one will activate at a time -- when I reset one, the other trips. Is this...

A little electrical advice, please. I'm using #10 wire for a long 20A circuit in my pole barn. I'd like to protect the downstream outlets by using a GFCI outlet as the first one from the panel. Trouble is, the 20A GFCI device I have seems to be designed to prevent using anything thicker than...

Sure, the economy is tough and there is lots of competition from the Internet and the likes of Wal-Mart and Harbor Freight. But, when Sears (or Lowes or Home Depot) finally go under, it will be mostly suicide. The following is a recipe for self-destruction. It may take awhile to cook, but...

Sears has their 6 drawer rolling cabinet Item# 00965667000 Model# 65667 for $159 and another 10% off using coupon SWELCOME10248. The 5 drawer cabinet is also heavily discounted. I realize this isn't their top of the line ball bearing stuff, but it's MUCH better than their "homeowner" ****...

I'm trying to select a penetrating sealer (not a coating) for the floor of my new 1200 sf pole barn. There sure are a lot of products out there :eyecrazy: and it is difficult to choose. I'd welcome recommendations from the following short list, or other suggestions/cautions. Enviroseal 40...

I'm new here and have spent several hours learning cool ideas, tips and tricks. I'm looking forward to using them in my new 30x40', 2-story pole barn. The contractor is just now preparing to form the floor and lay the PEX tubing. Meanwhile, lots of things need to be stored upstairs and I...
