Anyone know where to buy used pallet containers? I am open to material it is made from. I just want something I can store stuff in then use a pallet stacker to place it up in my pallet rack. Everyplace on line has new which is very expensive, or used, but requires to buy large quantity. I...

I can't decide which mid-size compressor to get. Anyone have either? Any thoughts? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000051WTQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Or http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001SLJW40/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I am not buying either from Amazon, but only used the link so people could view...

Anyone know a good place to look for a used pallet stacker? I know in this time, there has to be a lot of warehouse equipment like pallet stackers sitting around not used. Where is a good place to look? Closer to Minneapolis the better.

Here is a before and after pic of the epoxy floor of a warehouse I just purchased. I have read many threads of people asking if you could grind an old floor down and refinish effectively. I think these pics prove it can be done very well.

I just purchased a warehouse to make over into my garage/shop. Here are a few pics and I will keep you guys posted as I make more progress. The first pic was as I took possession last Thursday on Sept. 30, The second pic was after I hired a company to grind the old epoxy which turned out to be...

I have seen some of you have custom signs on your garage wall. I would like to put up a large (15" high letters) garage name on my brick wall. What is the best way to do this? Get a stencil made and paint? Or create on a painted piece of plywood so it is more flat and mount the plywood sign...

I just bought a 5hp Ingersol Rand air compressor from Northern Tool. I even bought the start up kit to extend the warranty. This compressor immediately starts leaking oil through one of the side plugs in the block. I contact Northern Tool who puts me in contact with the local service rep. for...

I just got a brand new 5hp Ingersoll Rand 60 gallon air compressor. I bought the Ingersoll start up kit and did everything as instructed for start up. It's been about a month and I noticed there appears to be an oil leak that is coming from one of the side drain plugs. This is a bolt I never...

I am replacing an existing 3-way toggle switch with a 3-way dimmer switch. Problem I am having is that with the new switch, it only works if the switch across the room is switched one way, but not the other. The old toggle switch could be turned on or off from either side of the room. Any...

I realized that PVC solvent primer (purple stuff) stains everything, but I spilled a small drop on my epoxy floor. It seems to have stained it. Any ideas how to remove the purple stain? I have a professionally done 2 part epoxy with a clear coat. Wasn't sure about using any solvents like...

I need to replace a section of PVC pipe, but both ends of pipe are fixed. I am planning on using a piece of new pipe and a PVC coupler on each end. The problem is, I know I need to twist the pipe 90 degrees when putting together, but even if I move quickly after attaching the coupler and...

I put together the first few fittings, 3 ball valves, retractable air hose, filter and regulator. Everything looks good, I cannot hear any hissing of air and the gauge appeared to be holding well. I thought I would give it the soap bubble spray test and noticed there are bubbles from many of...

I might be missing something really obvious here, but how do you guys connect your lead hose off your compressor to your filer or hard-lines, Recoils etc. Neither end of my hose has a swivel, so once the first end is threaded in, I cannot twist the 2nd end in. I tried twisting the hose so that...

I am hearing some people saying they are running larger than 1" hard compressed airline for additional air storage. I am not seeing much for reducing fittings to reduce over 1" down to 1/2" line unless you are running multiple reducers in succession of each other? Big airline runners, what are...

Those with compressed air systems (hard plumbed, not one of the pre-packaged kits with air outlets) in their garage: What are you using for final fittings for your air drops? A 45 degree elbow, 90 degree elbow, straight drop and connect to the bottom. I assume it ultimately connects to a...

This was somewhat addressed in another post, but did not quite get the answers I was looking for. I would like to mount a few hooks in the ceiling of my garage to hook a chain hoist for lifting objects mostly between 100 to 200lbs. However there is one thing I would like to lift (my air...

I have an epoxy floor that has flakes and clear coated. I have two small areas about 1" square that chipped up because the person who did the epoxy work epoxied my floor drains covers in and I chipped the epoxy breaking the drain covers loose. How would I best patch this? I see...
