I just brought a TIG welder home on Friday, and got it set up & running yesterday. I have some 110 outlets, permanently wired up on the welding table, and as soon as I start an arc with the TIG, it trips the GFCI that controls those outlets. I haven't asked anyone else yet, and thought I would...

I found this on Craigslist this morning. Only 100 miles away. It's a BADBOYS Blaster Magnum Series. It was advertised as a BB-750XLD, but from what I can find on the website, it looks to be a Model BB-1500. The guy said he used it very little, and that's quite obvious. The thing...

I've had this drill press for close to 20 years, but never had a spot for it. Now that I have the space, I thought that I might try to get it running. Would anyone know where to look for a model? I can't seem to find that info. (Not that it's very important, but I would like to...

Does anyone have any suggestions on a good method to remove this dust cap, without damaging it, or welding something to it......... I've never seen a design quite like this, and really don't understand their thinking. Here's a quote from the manufacturers website.... "has now developed...

Here's my jib crane beam. ..... Being the fact that the price was right, (free,) I think that I can make this work. I have a thought as to how I can extend it 11', and make it 16" tall, instead of the 12" that it is currently. I'm open to suggestions that might work better than what I...

I have a 4 year old Craftsman Professional 18 volt drill that was working fine. I believe that the batteries are shot, but don't want to spend $70.00 per battery to find out that the drill has issues also. I think that leaving the batteries on the charger continuously has damaged them. I just...

Does anyone have a wall mounted holder for these boxes? One shop that I visited had milk crates mounted to the wall, with a hole in the bottom, and the box in upside down. Very effective, but I would like something a little fancier. I know that I'll probably end up fabricating something...

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to store a car cover while you're "out for a ride?" I'm not going to roll it up tight enough to go in the storage bag, but it's rather bulky. It will be in a clean environment, so some kind of open wall rack would suffice. What do you do with yours?

I know that I haven't updated my "build" thread, and a lot has happened recently. I'll get pictures up this weekend hopefully. I'm getting ready to pour the approach slab in front of the shop, and was wondering if there would be any advantage to put insulation under it. I have enough insulation...

I'm looking for suggestions for an exhaust fan for the shop. I see the axial direct drive all the time, but they tend to be noisy, and leak cold air in the wintertime. I have been searching for powered shutters, but haven't found them yet. I would assume that they would seal better. With a...

I have spent countless hours on this site, getting ready for the day that has finally arrived. We have been dreaming about this for a long time, and we decided to wait no longer... This is the tentative floorplan for our new shop. The building will actually be 56' by 72' by 16', but the...

What suggestions does anyone have for drawer dividers? I used the Craftsman aluminum dividers in my work box, but was thinking there may be an alternative product for this. I looked at some 1 1/4"x1/4" wood trim strips @ Home Depot, but wondered if there's a better material available.
