I work and hunt outside. This time of year when the snow is wet and sticks to boots I track lots of snow into the truck. It seems the inside of the cab is always wet. I park in a heated to 50f garage/shop at night, which also is wet or humid from snow melting off the truck. I mostly drive...

I have a 32 by 40 with 10 foot side wall height steel sided workshop that I get no cell reception inside. On the surface it sounds great to not get calls while I am in my "sanctuary" but I have to be on call for work. Is there a way to get better signal in there?

I am starting to set up my new shop. Part mechanics [mostly motorcycle] and part wood shop. I have been looking at various dust extractors and dust collectors. I looked at Bosch's dust extractor and marvel at how convenient and quiet it is. I have also looked at larger and much louder dust...

I am a pretty new member and getting lots of info on this site. I have done searching/research. I know there will be various opinions on this and some strong both ways. A couple days ago I stopped in my local pawn shop. They didn't have what I was looking for, but a bunch of Mac tools caught...

I have a 24 by 32 foot attached 2 car garage. The summer it was built we were doing a major remodel on the house. We built a new foundation next to the house with severe foundation problems then lifted the house to the new foundation that would give us a finished walkout lower level. We...
