I am installing a water softener outside my house, and while it is water resistant I will still need to build a shelter for it to protect it from the rain...which in CA we have had none for 3 years, but needed none the less. Unfortunately the softener valve only comes with a 2 prong...

So, I'm in the midst of my workbench build and I'm on to my upper cabinet stage. Sorry up front for the lack of pictures, I'm out of town on business...and, well I just couldn't help but think about the shop. I've got the 8' workbench built (see the old picture attached) along with the...

So I'm picking this metal cabinet up this weekend, I spotted it on c'list. Its a cabinet for flammable liquids...the owner says its something like 4ft by 4ft. I'd like to get it up off the ground and was thinking of hanging it on the wall. Might be a bit ridiculous if it is 4ft tall, but any...

So I acquired several wine crates...they seem like great options for organizing nuts, bolts, etc. Any suggestions/experience building a storage system out of these? I was thinking just to make a frame and add slides to the crates, but thought you guys might had some better recommendations.

So I have a lot of shelving in my garage, but I feel like the Rubbermaid bins aren't maximizing how much junk I can store. The dimensions along with the slightly angled sides yield gaps between the bins which is less than efficient. Besides the dimensions, it seems to me if I could find a...

So somehow I've managed this long without one. I need a gun for maintenance on my '70 Scout and '08 FJ. I'm drooling over the battery powered ones...one-handed pumping would be a luxury, though they're a little pricey. Anyway, I'm interested in a solid, quality tool that's easy on the...

So I'm in need of a saw for cross cutting, my last project had me cutting long lengths of 2x4 on my table saw...very awkward, hence my need for another tool! I'm debating over getting an old 50's era Craftsman RAS like attached or a modern compound miter saw. The RAS is big and I don't have a...

Gang, If you don't mind, take a look at this Craftsman grinder I spotted on craigslist. I'm in the market for one and would rather not buy a junker. Anything I should look for? Chuck

Hey gang, I'm looking at snagging a good used compressor. This would be my first. Could you take a look at this one I've found? Here's the stats from the owner: "its a campbell hausfeld brand two or two and a half horse motor cant remember but no less than two single stage dual cylinder...

Hey gang, I'm looking at buying a bandsaw for an all around workhorse. I'd like to use it for woodworking (making toys for the kids) and any other wood/metal job that pops up...I tinker on my truck quite a bit. I came across this guy on C'list and don't know much about bandsaws, much less a...

Can anyone make out any details from the photo on this craftsman drill press? I'm looking to buy an old reliable drill press and this one popped up, I just don't know much about it and neither does the owner. Here's what he's said, "Craftsman Drill press, strong built. 1/2 HP motor, 1/2" chuck...

Hey all, I'm looking to build a free standing workbench that I can store rolling cabinets underneath. I really like the workbench at the below link, but it has shelving and cross-members. What's the best way to modify these plans so that I can have rolling cabinets stored underneath and it...
