I have a 5 1/2" x 2" wedge now, but I need something a little smaller to fit into a tight spot. Do you have any recommendations?

I will have to go in for back surgery pretty soon. With the lifting bending and twisting restrictions, I want to set up a couple of projects in the garage ahead of time, so I won't be bored out of my mind. I'm going to clear off my workbench and put a lot of stuff away now so I have clear...

Last night I was trying to mill some brackets on my drill press with moderate success. I am thinking of getting a benchtop combination drill-press, lathe milling machine Do you guys have any recommendations? Thanks

I have/had mine in in a plastic bag, in a plastic tub, and it just ended up oozing all over the inside of the bag, I was thinking of getting a smaller cartridge type of gun Any tips?

So I did my VCT floor a little while ago. I did not seal the floor with sealer or epoxy clear. I thought that I'd give some feedback on what it's turning out like. We live in an area that is wet and rainy during the winter. This moisture premiates the gaps in the tile. in one small area, the...

A couple years ago, I was in an locksmith, getting locks for our work site. He had a case hardened plate which mounts to the floor of the garage concrete, then has a chain, which wraps around the rear axle. Looked like it would slow a car thief down considerably. Has anyone here used one? How...

I have an old late '50's early 60's barber's candy cane light. I am very sure the ballast is shot, if not the bulb too. After it warms up it sounds like it's going to explode, and flickers on and off. It's about a 24" single flourescent, with heavy chrome mounts and nice spirals. Does anyone...

I was thinking about an exhaust fan with a dehumidistat, for the garage. We get a lot of rain here. I think that it might reduce the moisture impact on all the fancy stuff, in the garage, never mind the shelby getting condensation on the sheet metal. When I was deconstructing the 'stang, it was...

On my recently installed (half complete) VCT floor, I am considering baseboard options. One of my concerns is moisture, either from rain, snow, or the occasional mopping of the floor. Initially I thought of the vinyl base. I also thought that I could use pressure treated wood (1" x 4" for...

I have a small sandblaster, and was thinking this might actually be better than using a chemical sealer/cleaner, then rinsing. The sandblasting, is not going to introduce contaminants (other than dust), or detergents onto the existing surface. I am thinking VCT tile as opposed to epoxy...

demobilizing part of the construction site, that I am on. I grabbed a steel 4 drawer filing cabinet. I am pretty sure that I can use this to make something for medium sized tool storage, has anyone else done this?

I have a (made in taiwan or china) 3 ton floor jack that my son bought me for xmas last year. It had a bad seal, which I fixed. It lost a lot of fluid, and I am having trouble getting it filled up and bled again. It has three screws on top. From left to right and bigger to smaller, one phillips...

I don't have the spare cash, but it looked like a decent tool box. Regular 1099 reduced to $699. It was 54" wide with what looked like 1 1/2" hardwood butcher block type top. Mastercraft black. Could not find it on their website. Anyway, maybe some here might be interested

Our site is throwing away a bunch of (new-commercial type) steel doors, that don't match frames. There's got to be a use for them. They are cut out for a 2 x 2 window, which does not make them good for a bench, then obviously they are drilled for a lock. They are about 1 5/8 -1 3/4" thick. I...

Hello all Now that my car project is coming up on completion this year, it's about time to tackle the garage. It's been a real challenge working in a garage this small. Each night, with each little project, wifey needs to park her car in the garage. Thus everything needs to get put away. Often...
