Every year about now I turn off my NG boiler in my garage? Simply turn the breaker off and don’t flip it back on till fall. Would simply being left on, be a good idea or not? I’ve been in the habit of turning it down for the warmer months. I’ve had it serviced last fall before turning it on...

What are these going for? It appears in good shape, home owner grade. Online auction

Was checking out an on line auction site. Came across a Hadaki nailer, checked the web no trail. WTH? Any ideas? The case it comes in is from Windsor Building Supplies, which is a Canadian Company. That is all I got.

There are many options when buying router bits. I’m flattening a spruce 2x6 butcher block counter for my lathe. I tried to flatten out the on edge side of the my counter. I’ve made a guide rail and a couple of sleds to complete the task. I had one 1/4” shaft 1” 2 bladed cutting surface...

I knew I had these 2 pliers. It is kind of funny before becoming a GJ member I never took much notice of what I had in my hand. At work Klein was a big player and had plenty of Fuller, Gray, Craftsman, Makita, Bosch, B&D, Stanley etc but at home but never really thought much about it. Now I...

I cleaned up an old wrench for my Grandson. He has it temporarily in his tool bag until he gets it hung up. He asked what it was used for and I was a loss for an explanation. I told him it was likely used on old tractors and probably was 100 years old. Can anyone shed some light on the...

I need a panel that would work for 3 gauges of wire. 6/3, 10/2 and 12/2. The opening I have between corner and door is 14” with a future 3/4” plywood face. I thinking of roughing these into the wall similar to the other circuits in the garage. All circuits are home run of about roughly 44’ in...

I bought some clamps at an online auction. There were a few old wrenches etc included. I didn’t know what this one was at first. Thought it would be interesting to see what some people thought it might be.

I’m looking for a 10” Table Saw with a cast top for the lake. Found one for sale but it is a shaft drive. I have one similar at home which I bought new and has served me well. The one I have is a direct drive and it has worked flawless except the fence is kind of crappy. I have gotten use to...

I’ll be needing a garage door for the lake. At home I have Clopays with the max insulation R value. These sectional doors are great but with the standard rail hardware make it virtually tough to place a 4 post lift. I had looked up a roller door but felt the insulation value would be minimal...

I have found a band saw or to be honest the seller has found me. I placed a wanted add on Kijiji. I only have the pics below as this saw is 1100km/600 miles round trip from my home. Would have to likely use a covered trailer as I don’t want it laying on its side in transport. So gas mileage...

I have to get power outdoors for a 240 volt stone saw. Quickest way would be to the dryer 30 amp outlet. The fellow that lent me the saw has a number of pigtails. The one I’ll show of a pic of is or was a 30 amp plug with the one connector cut off. So I’m planning on going this route...

I’m looking at the bandsaw below. The son is selling it for his father. I’m not familiar with this unit and the son doesn’t seem to know much about it and appears to have taken only this pic. He lives some distance away so won’t go unless I’m prepared to purchase. What I’m looking for is any...

Stumpy Nubs gives an excellent history on 3 iconic manufacturers of tools of yesteryear. His other videos, from the few I’ve seen are also pretty good.

I have a fireplace mantel I working on. I found some 2x8s wide grain planks. Mirrored/ book ended them and glued together. I used Fruitwood coloured Watco Danish Oil. Applied first coat and haven’t burnished as of yet. Two of the blocks have an area that are less than receptive to the stain. I...

My buddy asked me if I had any idea what was causing The buzzing on his Millermatic 252. I have no idea but said I might know of a few people would have an idea. Guess what those people are you guys. He said originally the welder operated quietly without buzzing says it doesn’t affect usage...

I have a Craftsman Oilless Air Compressor that I bought around 1993. I realize it doesn’t owe me anything, but it is in great condition. Except for the fact it only maxs out at 40 PSI. I cracked it open and the sleeve, assorted “O” rings and the 3 finger reed is broken. Due to GJ I realized...
