Looking for someone who has some chromoly scraps of various sizes in the 1-2 ft length that I could use for practice. Price is negotiable. Ideally as much as you can stuff in a USPS large flat rate box to economize the shipping. 24-1/16" x 11-7/8" x 3-1/8"

So I got a new router (Metabo HPT M12VC), and I went to use it the first time tonight, but I noticed the bit seemed to be wobbling a fair amount. So I took it out removed the collet and reinstalled it using the centering guide with the same result. I measured the run-out using a flat block and...

So I may end up building a new shop in the near future, but that's a story for another thread. As I was considering what I wanted in a new shop, I thought it would be nice to have a refrigerated air dryer, but they are expensive and use a fair bit of electricity. So I came up with a new plan...

So, I am starting a new job next week that requires me to supply my own tools. My current job provides tools so I only have one set. I know many people on this forum have a work and home set of tools so I wanted to get your thoughts on filling out a new home set. I will be starting out...

https://mankato.craigslist.org/tls/6054072650.html Saw this on Craigslist today. I'm not really familiar with band saws, but this one seemed like a good deal to me and I have a couple tasks I think it would be good for. Good deal? Things to look for?

We have a Sanborn compressor at work and the built in regulator is absolute junk. So my plan is to bypass the onboard regulator and install one on the wall next to the hose real. I want to do this by removing the internals and capping off the regulator housing. My issue is I can't figure out...

Let me preface this by begging you not to laugh, but I don't own a bench grinder. I've gotten by so far by using other tools or taking parts into work with me and grinding them there. I keep intending to buy one, but every time I try, I can't find one I like. Whether I'm looking at the...

An Amateurs Experience Installing a Gas Line to the Garage (With Pics) I am starting this thread to document my experience installing my own gas line from the meter on the side of my house to my detached garage. It is my hope that this thread will serve as a good starting place for anyone...

REPOST POLICE: Ok I know that there are multiple existing threads on the subject and I've read them, but all the ones I found were a couple years old. Since then some new models have emerged, so I believe it's time for an update. EVERYONE ELSE: I'm looking to graduate from MIG welding and make...

I found a compressor on craigslist for a good price that needs a rebuild kit. The Pump is a PV02A which appears to be a common pump, but I can't find a rebuild kit for it. The one place I did find a rebuild kit wanted as much for the kit as for a whole new pump. Does anyone know where to get...

So I bought a house last summer and the previous owners didn't believe in yard work. The house itself was well taken care of, but the lawn fence and deck are a mess. The fence is a well weathered panel fence, but is still structurally sound minus a couple specific panels which I will replace...

I am looking to buy Item #99231 the Sk Mechanics Fender Cover, but none of the online retailers seem to carry it. If anyone out there can get a hold of one, let me know. Thanks

I want to get rid of some of my tools I got starting out which have since been replaced with higher quality tools. Shipping is not included in the prices of the items, but Paypal fees are. High resolution pictures are available at the links. Most of the tools have been heavily used, but all...

Pre-emble: So I am getting ready to install an old 80+ furnace in my garage. I am pretty excited to have a heated garage to work in through the winter. This will be my first time installing a furnace, but I got a copy of the state mechanical and fuel gas code, and the advice of a relative who...

I am looking to buy some new deep sockets and want to know which brands of socket are fully and partially broached. So I have done a few searches for this information on the forum and on Google and can't find a full list just bits and pieces. This is what I have so far. Please add what you...

So I saw this on Facebook and thought it was pretty neat. It also turned out to be a great way to get my wife to come spend some time in the garage with me. The build is pretty simple. Just a wood box frame made of 2x3 lumber with some steel mesh around it and some old peg board for a floor...

So this is shaping up to be my summer for getting the garage completely finished, and I already have most of the insulation and drywall work done. Now I am starting to think about gas and water service. The water is tricky though because I live in an area where water lines must be 5 feet deep...
