I'm having a senior moment, dealing with a new poster on a woodworking forum that wants to make their own flooring from rough mill material. I distinctly remember a thread here where the poster made an absolutely stunning floor, tons of work cutting and machining, and very detailed install. I...

Thought I would share my Unisaw project as others have, this one has been in progress for way too long... Longer ago than I care to admit I picked up a cheap($150) Unisaw from a State Auction. A well used "801"(80's) series saw, no fence, 1 extension, single phase 1.5HP, no motor cover, and a...

I'm a newbie to milling, but I'm learning as I go. I have a combo machine, certainly has it's limits, but it is good for me to learn on. I collect a certain type of S+W .22 pistols, and have started to modify them for my own enjoyment. I had a couple of machining operations I wanted to do...

I recently replaced my compressor pump, thread is here: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=278440 Things were going along well, compressor ran fine, had several instances running high volume tools where it performed well. Recently I started tripping 1 leg of the circuit, my...

Looks like my used Puma compressor pump just bought the farm. At this point I'm not interested in repairing the pump, just ready to move on to a new one. The current pump is rated at 18CFm at 125PSI, with a 6.5HP motor. At some point the motor was replaced and appear to be a 5HP. So I'm...

Saw 54Fordpanel's fiberglass console build and thought I would share the custom sub enclosure I made for my Wife's car over Christmas break. I really didn't want to do the complete sound system install on her car, I was going to take the easy way out and have someone do it, after I got the...

Couldn't find any previous threads on this. I've been dabbling in stone work for several years now, have acquired a number of tools, and am actually pretty decent at it. I can cut and edge most stones, marble, limestone, granite, quartzite, and have done a number of projects around the house...

Snagged this little beauty on CL today for $50... Guy said he used it twice.

Just got one, these things are great!!!

I have an older house, 3 car garage with 3 single car doors. I do keep the wife's car in at night so 1 door is opened and closed many times during a week, and it is the main door I use whenever I am doing something in the garage. Her car always goes out whenever I am working in the garage...

This is one of those learn as you go things... I bought some great ornamental gates about a year ago, the work on them is incredible. It started a whole side yard renovation that is finally getting close to complete. In my wisdom I decided to change the way the gates were originally hung in...

I picked up a Delta saw carcass/stand today for $30 on CL. Nice cast iron top and two stamped steel wings. I have a couple of thoughts about what to use the top for. I've considered bolting the cast top on the right on my contractors saw, and then the extensions to it's right to replace the...

I've been helping a Neighbor sell off her deceased Husband's tools, had a huge sale last weekend and alot of stuff cleared out. I did snag a Puma 60 gallon upright compressor for $200. I got the compressor home last weekend and have spent the week going through it cleaning it up. He had it...

Not sure where to post this, happened to be scanning the CL LR Tool section as I will be there this week, I'm flying so I can't ****** this though. http://littlerock.craigslist.org/tls/2321684081.html A "wood lathe" for $200, pretty good deal....

Thought I would share this with you guys, I can't take advantage of it. http://tulsa.craigslist.org/tls/2144705918.html

I do alot of work in the garage(shop) across many different disciplines, metal, wood, mechanic, etc. Like many on here I am landlocked in the city and don't have room for my ideal shop so I make do with a 3 car garage. I have 2 motorcycles, and my wifes car has to come in at night. All of...

I have a framing question I would like comments and suggestion on. I currently have an area that is two rooms, each room is 16' deep and 14' wide with a support wall in the middle. The ceiling joists are 2x6 on 16" centers and run with the width of the rooms so they are in essence 28' long but...

We just wrapped up the bizarre event known as the State Fair..... When I was walking around the vendors there was one with a neat metal cutoff saw that I can't remember the name of. It was fashioned after a chop saw but used a variation of a portable band saw instead of the typical circular...
