I need to repair the passenger side rocker on my kids 2012 civic, some deep scratches got rusty and proceeded to eat it up pretty badly. My question is how do I protect the cars electronics while welding. The welding forums are kinda all over the place about it. I have read everything from...

I will be replacing a few floor panels (like the whole floor) in my willys jeep over this winter. Most of the panels were originally spot welded in place and I plan to do the same for the less visible areas. Has anyone used their mig to spot weld? Any extra equipment I need? I've seen the...

So I want to be able to mount my HF manual tire mounter/dismounter to my floor, but only when I need it. I am having no luck finding some threaded concrete inserts so I can just bolt it down when needed, then remove. 3/8 -1/2 inch should be enough. Anybody have a good source?

that can remove the exhaust valves from an F head jeep motor. For those unfamiliar, the f head has the exhaust valves in the block and the intakes in the head. I tried my old Matco C clamp style and it just wants to pull off center. Anyone ever done this? If so, what kind of clamp do I need...

I'm a little concerned about my Rotary 10k two post lift's cable adjustments. All the videos say to adjust when the locks click out of time, or not simultaneously. Problem is, my lift clicks perfectly in time when unloaded, but with a vehicle on, the clicks are distinctly different, half...

So I've ordered my lift, Rotary symmetric 10,000 lb, not the revolution, not the shockwave, just the standard. It'll be a few weeks before distributor has it in, he's doing the install also. I'm bringing the power across the ceiling in conduit. My question is how close does my terminal box...

I'm gonna do the drywall on my garage ceiling (12') and I was wondering if anyone here has used the lift that HF, Northern tool, Sams club, etc sells? It looks like the same lift across several retailers, just different colors. Northern currently has best price, and sells an extension to get it...

Now that I have a detached garage, I have been looking at the attached garage on my house with an eye towards increasing living space. The floor is about 24 inches below the house floor level, its a DIY pour, but decently smooth. Walls are insulated, so forth. What I was thinking was to have...

So the beer fridge in my garage works fine for days, then trips the GFI its plugged into. Its a give away fridge, but works great, sometimes for a week or more, then I come out and the GFI is tripped. First I blamed the GFI, and changed it out, the new one worked fine for 3 weeks, then we had...

So since the two front overhead doors are gonna run about 3 grand, I've decided to build my own back door, which wont get used as much. The opening is 10 high by 12 wide, so I'm gonna just do two 10x6 barn doors. Any great ideas about design, mostly making them light enough so that I don't get...

does anyone make a 12 foot wide by 10 foot high garage door? Im not having any luck finding them on the net. Is it just a matter of adding panels?

Its starting to look like I wont get my floor poured until possibly December, due to monetary constraints. My question is at what temperature range should I call it quits and wait till spring? We don't usually get the real cold (sub zero) temps till after Christmas, so I can still spray it...

Ive seen this before but don't know what it is called, when the building has outside wainscoting (looks like short sections of metal roofing), there is a strip of same color metal across the top, giving it a nice finished look, covering the corrugations. What is that strip called, so I don't...

So I augered out the corner holes for my pole building, about 4 feet deep, and they now have about 16 inches of water in them. It didn't rain, and hasn't for about 2 weeks. The surface is dry and cracked right now. the bottom of the holes feels pretty firm, I plan to use perma columns sitting...

Are there any hard and fast rules for horizontal wall purlin spacing? Im guessing every 2-3 feet is about right. Im going to have 12 ft walls, bottom 4 feet metal roofing wainscoting, top 8 feet will be fake board and batten with T-111 and furring strips. Ill block vertically every 4 feet to...
