I installed a used GPO-9 in my fab shop last year for my own use. Trouble is the lift arms are always in my way. I'm 6'2" tall and the arms don't go that high so I always have to flip them around so I don't bang my head. Having them at floor level is an unnecessary trip hazard. So I came up with...

I'm curious how spray foam insulation works with my collar ties. Does the foam get sprayed all the way to the peak, ignoring the ties, or do I have to cover the tops of the ties so foam can be sprayed into them? The roof is fairly steep and the ties are about 8 ft. long. I can get photos if...

Just bought a set of oxy/acetylene bottles. I'd like to see pics of home made carts for ideas. Post em' up!!

This is on my 18' X 8' 5 panel garage door. I bought it second hand and redid the opening of my garage to install it. The low overhead track it came with is causing some issues and I want to convert it to standard track. The double horizontal track on the low overhead looks like the main radius...

I've got the chance to pick up a 42" lathe bed for a good price. It's one of those things I know would come in handy for doing metal fab work but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what I would do with it. Anybody using one now or anyone else with ideas? Please show me what you've done or...

I found a wonderful tool on my local CL. I can't afford it but would love to see a fellow GJ get it. Can I copy and paste it here?? The tool is a Walker-Turner 4 head gang drill!!! in working order

Planning on insulating and covering my 2X6 on 24" center roof rafters. It also has collar ties that are about 8' long so the rafters above the collar ties won't get any insulation. There are gable vents at each end. I've been debating, with myself, using tyvek sheeting to cover the insulation...

What is the best way to use a mini split for heating my house? Should it be left at a preset temp 24/7, or should it be turned down at night and up during the day. Which way is the most efficient?

I couldn't figure out how to search this subject. If it's been discussed please share a link. What I'm thinking about trying is converting my traditional center mount GD opener to work like a Liftmaster 8500 style. Mine is a chain drive so I figure I could mount a chain wheel on the spring...

I have an Empire LP heater in my wife's studio. She hasn't been out there much this winter but yesterday she went out and set the thermostat to 64* and came back in the house till it warmed up. After an hour she went out and the heater had not lit. I figured the pilot was out so I prepared to...

Replacing the rotted leaking decking outside the bedroom. The contractor has suggested spraying a Rhino type bed liner. He knows someone with a portable spray setup, comes in wide choice of colors and is skid proof. Anyone ever done this or have opinions? (I know everyone has opinions:eyecrazy:)

No, I don't have a kitchen range in my garage, but I trust the folks on this site for info on just about anything. I recently moved to a spot that only has propane. Brought my Dynasty NG gas range with me and bought the LP conversion orifices from the manufacturer. Also followed the instructions...

The other night I was sitting in the house when I heard what seemed like someone tapping on a window. Checked outside and found nothing. Next day I walked around and found that a DPW on the west side of the house had cracked on the inside pane. It was a warmer sunny day in the PNW and as I...

So, the thread title kinda says it all. I have two 20ton bottle jacks that I would like to tie together for my press project and run them on air. Or as an option have the pump on one jack operate both jacks together. Anyone know how to do this? I know Harbor Fright and others sell air over...

Our NG water heater is about 12 YO and is getting slower and slower on recovery. Time for a new one. Even when it was new I noticed that the hysteresis was pretty big. I called the manufacturer who told me there was no adjustment possible for this and they actually suggested running the hot...

The wife and I just bought a new old house. It has a Blaze King propane heater with an internal auto fan. There is also a ceiling fan in the room that is on a normal light switch. They work well together if I wait to turn on the ceiling fan after the heater fan comes on. Problem is I often...

Did a search, couldn't find anything on the forum. Soooo, while waiting for a scrip to be filled at the drugstore I found a jar of waterglass, or sodium silicate on the shelf that mentioned one of it's uses as "for sealing concrete"! I'm guessing this is old technology, but does it work? Anyone...

Does anyone know if 18 V lith ion batteries # 48-11-1830 will interchange with my 18 V NiCd batteries # 48-11-2230 for my Milwaukie sawzall? Will my NiCd charger work? I found some NIB lith ion's on CL for a good price. Thanx

My buddy and I are going to paint my car at his shop. He decided he wanted to upgrade his compressor. Amazingly he went on CL 3 weeks ago and found a NAPA 7 1/2 HP 220V 1 Phase 24 CFM unit with an Air Cel refrigerated drier for $2000!! Both units appear to be nearly new. So we went down and...
