    Question for carpenters on roll up door

    We have two barn doors on our backyard barn, and we've decided that we'd like a roll up door. We bought one at Menard's before the prices went up, but its 6' 2 1/2" wide and 7' tall. The barn doors are 5' wide and 6' tall. To get a 5' x 6' roll up door from another company would cost the same...

    Need a new air hose

    I was working in the shop today and hear air escaping when I was using my tire inflator. Thought the fitting was loose, but then noticed the cracks in the hose...for at least 4' before they got smaller. Time for a new 50' hose to put on my wall unit. Looked at HF, Menards and Farm & Fleet. A...

    Perplexing garage door opener problem

    I've also posted this on another forum. My shop has two overhead doors, one double and one single. The double has been acting up lately by not coming down unless I hold the button on the wall. The opener has been on that door since we bought the place in '08. The single door has an opener that...

    Diesel vs. gas tractor?

    I'm looking at buying a scut, and a Tym T224 fits the bill for size and cost. The only thing is, I've never had a diesel anything in my 70 years, and I'm not sure now is the time to start. I've got 1 1/4 acres and don't really need a new tractor, but would like something that my wife can drive...

    Old threads

    I was just skimming along this forum, and spotted another old thread from 2018 about SK tool giveaways. I never entered it as I have too many tools already, and don't need more. But, I've jumped into threads before, then about the second page I discover that I'm reading an ancient thread. It...

    Another question about wifi to the shop

    I visited a friend today who has two wireless cameras at his shop, but the signal won't reach his house. He has a wireless router in the metal shop, and his house is about 300' away, as a man walks. He has run 300' of ethernet cable from the house to the shop, and is not getting a signal. I...

    A puzzling problem

    A year or so ago, I replaced the original fuel gauge sending unit in my 58 Chevy. Last summer/early fall, it died again. I bought another off ebay and installed it. What had happened to my first one was that the brass float developed 3 large cracks. I installed the new one in Sept. of last year...

    Bought a drawer cabinet today.

    I keep seeing these threads where people buy these drawer cabinets, and I ask myself why? I went to an estate sale today and saw this one, and thought "I can get rid of all those small plastic drawer cabs that are taking up space on my benches and shelves." Wife says go for it, and she'll help...

    Cutting dual wall plastic culvert pipe in half

    I've got a drainage ditch between a 12" culvert pipe and an 18" culvert that is 50' long. I had it graded and grass planted last year, but it all washed out, so I filled the 'ditch' with rocks. Well, the rocks got filled in with fine gravel and silt from up the road, then washed out along the...

    My turn, my turn. What is this tool for?

    Cleaning out extra tools in the shop, and I came across this box of Bog tools. Don't remember picking it up anywhere. They are in an SK metal box. I did a search for Bog tools and came across a couple threads here, but not pertaining to these tools. Looks like they might be for security bolts...

    Spammers

    I see that the site got spammed again. I've got a Hotmail account that I've had for years, and a couple months ago, it started getting spammed with all kinds of junk. I was blocking 20-25 per day (Hotmail isn't really good at that). I finally started with another provider, and check Hotmail now...

    What angle cut on bottom of front door.

    I had new hardwood floors put in a couple weeks ago, and we took out the front door threshold. He put the hardwood right up to the aluminum threshold, minus the removeable part with the rubber strip. I was going to add the strip to the inside of the door, but I'd rather have the aluminum strip...
