Daughter and husband are building within walking distance. They currently live ~20 miles away so I've been asked to make daily progress reports. They are in the final stages, no CO yet, but the power is on, parking pad and sidewalk poured today. Since the breaker panel went live, I like to...

Installed ceiling cassette airhandlers for the mini-split. The intakes are a nominal 9X40. Of course that is an odd sized opening for a filter and the filters are like $50+ and don't fit inside the frames. This is in my hanger converted to a woodworking shop. I need to build boxes for...

Grabbing some crimpers from the tool box. I don't remember where/how I got them. Some sort of crimpers for electrical terminals according to the google. I don't understand the inner jaws, not that it matters. Anybody familiar with this type of crimper? Is there a story? Thanks in...

If you have had the patience to read my Wayne compressor post, you probably realized that I stopped work on that compressor after testing the (successfully) tank (to about 195 psi). I was anticipating getting a "free" Quincy 325 ROC 10. I picked the Quincy up yesterday. The giver had indicated...

I've come across a seemingly older Wayne compressor pump, model 6228-SH (casting is AC-4209) but have been unsuccessful in finding a parts supply. Actually, I bought the compressor for the tank which has pressure tested satisfactorily. The pump burbs when turned by hand. I have not opened up...

I have a 20+ year old Champion tank that is in need of a replacement. Looking at Amtrol-X and prices on the web run from $600 to $1000 for a 34 gallon model, some with shipping. Any recommendations on where to purchase?

Pictures are the finished product after spray foam. FYI, 1600 sq. ft. Installer was great, OBTW. Cut out all the fiberglass. Sprayed the foam. Sprayed fire retardant and then touched up the exposed "red" structures with matching white paint. If you recall from an earlier post, the sky...

Just a shout out to those recommending the Felco C7. Thank you! I replaced the cables on my HightLift Hanger door (under warranty). They were about 28 years old and had some fraying. Install went well with ~3' extra length for each of the four cables. Ordered the Felco C7 from Pruners...

While visiting family recently, I stopped by the Woodcraft of Nashville store. They had a special on WoodRiver #6 planes, NIB, for $149.99. Excepting the TN sales tax, I thought this was too good to pass up. Also, they had a Powermatic 3520C discounted by $1000. I told the salesperson that...

Anyone have any experience with Freud hand planes? Have a lead on what looks like equivalents to a #5 and #7. Are they good for wood working or are they 'toys'? TIA

My hanger turned workshop has six transparent panels in the roof, 3 on a side. The hanger is 40'X40' with the standard sheeting except where the sky lights are cut in, flat mounted. I haven't measured but the sky lights are about 3'X10. The hanger has the standard steel building fiberglass...

Hello, I've posted before. But here is a little more. Retired (2X) and relocated from ENC to the CSRA (Augusta GA area) on the SC side. Bought a smallish house with a 1600 sq. ft. airplane hanger that is morphing into a wood shop. There is a grass taxiway behind the hanger. The taxiway...

Couldn't find the "Introductions" forum so I'll try this. Newbie. About to convert a 40X40 steel framed shangar into a wood shop (if the deal goes through - tough time to get appraisers it appears). Let's call it a shanger for grins. Probably need some guidance. Happy 2021 to all
