I bought this vibratory parts loader at an auction a few years ago for cheap. It doesn't have a rotating motor. I ordered a replacement 18 lbs tumbler bowl and I'll stick the two together and see what happens. Sound reasonable? What kind of media should I get? Looking to finish machined...

I built this planter on wheels for our small backyard. The idea is to keep it in the sun but be able to tuck it away if we want to play out there. I originally designed the "floor" boards with no gaps because I read somewhere online that this style of planter takes more water. My FIL and my...

I found a lot of discussion on ceiling height for 2 and 4 post lifts but nothing specific for flush mount lifts. It seems like most of the flush mount lifts have a rise of about 72". Suburban: 74.4" height, 7.9" ground clearance (lifting points at 12"?). If you use some 6" lift blocks on the...

I'm currently garageless but dreaming and planning. Anyone have a hydraulic pump that runs multiple things? I'm thinking of a in-floor scissor lift, hydraulic press, hydraulic tubing bender, maybe bifold or single panel hydraulic door. Thoughts?

Removed some shelf supports which were glued and screwed on. Glue pulled out some chunks. Biggest so far is about 2" across 1/8" deep. I've patched small holes and seams between pieces of drywall. Just mud over it? Do I need tape or mesh? Any special surface prep beforehand?

I already have a bridgeport in fair condition. I just picked up a second one that is pretty worn. Scoring on the saddle ways. Havent looked too much deeper than that. Any ideas? I think this is pretty slick: and I wouldn't worry about the abrasive dust because this thing is pretty worn...

I live in a house that was totally rewired in 2009/2010. In the breaker panel we have 4 Murray MP-AT AFCI breakers. 3 x 20 amps, 1 x 15 amp. These cover the two bedrooms. We've always had intermittent nuisance tripping in the 2nd bed room but it's always been a guest room and now a kids room...

I just got this new (to me) 18" caliper with no case. Scanned it. Traced it manually. If I did this for a bunch of wrenches or something I would look into auto trace. Would need a different color background on the scanner. Test with .1" extra all around which seems too loose. I...

This is actually for my house but applies to garage as well. If this has been discussed before I apologize (give me a link). My networking knowledge is next to zero so please forgive ignorance or wrong terminology. The parts of my home network just wont play nice with each other. It works...

I have a paying job that requires cutting some aluminum tabs off some equipment. I think a porta band would be optimal for the job but I could probably get away with a jig saw. I have a 5x7 horizontal / vertical band saw in the shop now plus a 36" vertical do-all in storage. At some point...

I have a IR 7.5hp 80 gal two stage compressor. I've been running a cheap filter/regulator combo but I'm getting ready to run some air lines and I figure this is a good time to install a better set up. Here are the components I'm considering: Air cooler: I have a some 3/4" black iron pipe...

I found out about this company in the USA made sub forum: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=187168&highlight=chapman I talked to Jason at Chapman about the "Master kit" (ie one of everything they make). http://www.chapmanmfg.com/MasterKit.html This is what he can do: The...
