Had an 8' shop light go out. House built in 2014 & I assume that is how old the light is. Likely a dinosaur in LED terms. Appears both the driver & the LED boards are bad. If I can't find replacement parts or parts to retrofit into the current fixture I'd like to just swap it out. I'm in the...

I have a bunch of painting & picture hanging to do in our stairway alcove. Have never used a ladder leveling system. Prefer to buy once, cry once. Also need a new extension ladder to go with it. Appreciate any advice.

This popped up on my YouTube this morning. Adam Savage gives some initial thoughts on a Chinese made fractal vise he ordered through Alibaba.

Need a VFD to run a three phase edge bander. Do not need speed control or control over forward/reverse. We have 220V single phase and 480/277 three phase available. Would prefer to use the 220V single phase. Edge bander specs. 220V Three phase 60 Hz 3.3 total horsepower 1.1 single largest...

I have several Milwaukee Packout boxes but need something a bit deeper and more customizable for my gun bench area. I was walking out of a hardware store the other day with my hands full and in a hurry and noticed the Dewalt boxes and didn't have much time to check them out. Before I go back...

The Titebond caulk used for filling between scarf joints on PVC trim is out of stock locally. Need a paintable replacement. This is for an interior application. Mostly conditioned space (garage). No direct sunlight or below freezing temperatures.

I tore out the glue down vinyl plank in our foyer this morning. A still tacky semi clear yellow adhesive is left behind on the particle board underlayment. Still quite sticky after eight years. The underlayment appears to be glued down to the OSB subfloor with no nails or screws. Whether I...

This is part of a blade change tool on an a 30+ year old Italian made gang rip saw. Good calipers are at work but I'm measuring... 25mm shift diameter 12 teeth. 3mm spline depth. Shaft is about 95mm long but that is not critical. Not having great luck with Google on my phone.

Does anybody know the name of the part put on the arbor about 17 seconds into video below? Can't seem to find a name or replacement on my phone.

I am trying to figure out how I want to set up my track saw area. Right now I just have what I assume is a 36" hollow core door banded with some hardwood that I found at Habitat for less than the normal HC doors. Then a piece of 25 PSI expanded polystyrene. I found some sort of hinged...

It seems like Grizzly's new online shop planner is in long term delay. Is there anything else? I'm normally a graph paper & pencil kind of guy but I thought an online program would make it easier to share & get input on. I don't necessarily need a catalog of machinery.

Years ago I was sent some prototype plastic connectors and some aluminum extrusions. Built a simple rolling cabinet for the garage and never really looked into it again. The company I dealt with never did put their connectors on the market. The cabinet has since been traded away but I found...

I have some exposed rigid foam on the foundation wall at our cabin that I would like to coat with something. Slightly over 100 square feet of foam and very little of that is visible from the road or our porches so I can't see hiring an EIFS crew. Menards has two products, Tuff II and Flex Coat...

My garage has a shop off the back of the third stall. The opening is 75" x 83" For a variety of reasons I would like to partition this off but be able to have it open completely when needed. At my last shop I had 6' wide steel French outswing doors to partition off part of the garage that...

I found this old water heater in our National Forest. I initially just saw some metal up in some rocks and climbed up there and rolled the entire thing down to a nearby closed off logging trail. It was then I realized it was an old water heater with some sort of DIY heat shield. Once we got...

My 18' x 17' living room has 10' sidewalls and a 4/12 pitch bottom chord scissor truss. It has six Halo H71ct can fixtures that put the lamps at 11'6" off the ground. The trims are an adjustable gimbal that take BR30 or Par30 lamps. This is not enough light in the evenings, even when swapping...

I'm trying to follow an online auction about 90 minutes north of me. Trying to decide if it's worth driving up to the preview later this afternoon. I'm at my cabin and on a very slow WiFi connection. I can see the listing for Logan lathe(s) but none of the pictures are loading for me, I assume...

I can't get my CAT 5510se to kick back on until the tank is completely empty. I cleaned the check valve and re-tensioned the spring slightly. I have fiddled with the pressure switch and could occasionally get the compressor to kick back on at tank pressures of around 30 PSI but it wasn't...

I am starting the research process for a dust extractor for my track saw. Still wading through all of the options. I plan to run it through a separator. I don't have the vertical space for a Dust Deputy or something like the Oneida AXD000009. I have room for something around 30" tall. I could...

The threaded fitting that connects the pressure gauge to the switch area on my CAT 5510se broke. See picture below. I have an old chisel that is the right size to use as a large screwdriver but the threaded connector broke behind the face of the switch assembly and I can't get a Dremel...
