New house, we closed in Sept. We have a 2-car garage with a single garage door and all seems fine with it, up/down is relatively smooth and quiet but I noticed that, when fully raised, the spring tension appears to be uneven. On the right side, the cable is taut - no or almost no deflection...

I'm sure this won't spark any debate at all :) I'm starting my long overdue reloading bench build, using the NRMA bench plans as a guideline... but my my current analysis paralysis is stuck on whether to use treated or untreated 4*4 lumber for the legs. It will be sitting on a concrete floor...

I don't think we have a plumbing sub-forum, but if I'm in the wrong place for this I take correction constructively. :) When I was in the hospital with pneumonia in January I noticed that the sinks in the room had a bucket arrangement instead of the typical P traps. It was both of 'my' sinks...

I’m want to build myself a router table and/or mitre saw bench, may combine them in one, still planning. But what I would like to do is use my shop vac as a dust collector (probably with a separator). I see some ready-to -buy current sensing switches , some actually called vacuum switches I...

My old 6v/12v benchtop Schumacher battery charger has died and I am shopping for a new one. Schumacher is a brand I know so I have started there but any quality product will do. Just a hobby / home garage so don’t need pro equipment but I prefer to buy as good as I can afford. Obviously want...

Been doing some cleaning out/reorganizing over the last week or so. Rediscovered a few things long forgotten, mostly more “inheritance” tools: First up, a set of molding fence shaper guides for a Craftsman radial arm saw, only know what they are from the part number (Craftsman 605.29530)...

Last night we noticed our chest freezer seemed to be getting warmer... which of course prompted my wife to say "oh yeah, it's been making this clicking noise for a day or two"... Long story short I'm pretty sure that the start relay / PTC has gone belly up and I ordered a new one. Compressor...

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about the Mac ET9200 scanners (Elite/Advanced/Pro)? I may have an opportunity to pick one up at a really good deal, but I'm not sure if it will be a paperweight without a subscription or not. It looks like it has a lot of data on the tool itself...

I went last night after debated for a week or two and bought the 26" single bank roller cabinet. I couldn't decide between that and the 14.5" end cabinet; the purpose is mainly to use as a base for my new Wen drill press. The end cabinet is almost the perfect size, but I'd have to add casters...

I'd like to get a better tap and die set that I have (tiny HF cheap-O set I needed RIGHT THEN), and I've come across two Irwin sets but I can't figure out why one is 2x the price of the other. The more expensive one is Irwin/Hanson, but surely it's not JUST branding is it? Hoping someone will...

Found this parts list under the lift-out tray in my grandfather's old Craftsman 3-drawer tool box. Found it interesting, maybe someone else will as well. I think it's amusing how the whole thing looks like it was typed out on a contemporary typewriter LOL

Thanks for having me :)
