I picked up a used Waterloo blast cabinet, complete with a small cartridge looking water separator and foot pedal. As far as I know, it’s all original, including the gun. The tip looks to be in good shape. I’ve been reading the blasting resource thread and I’ve got information overload. I know I...

Has anyone erected a 145” 2 post in a shop with 144” ceiling? I’ve got a few options. Pour two piers an inch less than surrounding floor. This may pose a problem with bottom of lift arm clearance to the floor. I’m not sure. The other option is to place it evenly between two trusses and raise...

Just out of high school (‘89) I bought a “mid size” tool set 1/4-1/2 drive sockets, ratchets, wrenches, etc., along with a top and bottom box. What a great way to establish some credit on the old Sears card with a new set of tools. Since then, I’ve added thousands of dollars in other Craftsman...

I’m wanting to strip and re-coat a valve cover for my son’s truck. Ive read that it’s magnesium. I’m looking for a cost effective method (chemical?) to strip the powder coat off with out destroying the base material. I’ll probably buy an entry level powder coating gun. I’ve watched a few ytube...

Can anyone recommend a vacuum pump and hvac gauge set that isn’t complete garbage but won’t break the bank either? I’d only use it 2 or 3 times a year and mostly for pm on an air ride system. Also, I’m not a huge fan of anything from China but I also understand this is the world we live in.

If anyone has successfully wired a Sensi 2stage thermostat to a Sterling 2stage gg series unit did you use w2 on t-stat, and if you did, where did it terminate on the unit? My w2 terminal on the unit has no wiring to it. Thanks

I ordered a Sterling unit and pipe kits from a greenhouse dealer and because of the options I elected on the unit it will ship from the manufacturer. Has anyone ordered one like this lately? Did you get any shipping confirmation and what was the lead time? I’m Just wondering how many weeks I...

Is the 2 stage valve option a no brainer? The heater I plan on getting is either a 75 or 90 Sterling. Everything I read indicates 2 stage is the way to go. Run on 1st stage to maintain and 2 stage to recover or increase temp quicker. I keep the shop at 50f 97% of the time and bump it to 70 when...

Can someone point me in the direction to a reasonably accurate btu calculator? I’m seeing results from 45,000 to 138,000 for my shop. Thx

I just removed my old outdoor wood burner system. I’m researching propane hanging units (separated combustion). I know and understand about short cycling but in my case there is no way to avoid it. Shop details: 32x40x12 on 5” cement slab with frost walls, r-19 walls, r-38 ceiling, a few...
