I am looking to buy a new paint gun. I've not been very pleased with the spray quality of my DeVilbiss Starting Line paint gun. It is inconsistent and the pattern has never been as even as I want. I've borrowed my friend's Sata in the past and it is awesome, but he died this summer and that's...

I want to coat the masonite work surface of my workbench. The last layer of masonite lasted 10 years, which is good. I would like to get the same or better out of this layer. Last time I didn't treat it with anything. This time I want to coat it. I'm thinking about using mineral spirits and...

I'm doing a lot of cleaning and updating in my garage. One thing I want to do is try to clean up the floor. I am NOT painting the floor or sealing the floor. This is a working shop and I don't want to make the floor slick. I just want to clean it up and maybe lighten up some of the (many many...

Looking to restock my supply of general purpose sandpaper. This is stuff for my poor woodworking, occasional rust removal, etc. I generally use 3M or Klingspor for bodywork on cars. Looking for input on the cheap sandpaper from Haror Freight. Is it halfway good? I do not expect it to...

I want to make a new top for my workbench. I have access to the 2 sheets of 4x10 stainless sheet metal I want to use, but I need to brake a 6 inch lip on the front and rear for a front apron and a rear backsplash. I have access to a metal brake used for bending aluminum coil trim for siding...

I have two estimates to high lift the doors in my garage. $350 per door from both companies. That's a lot when you consider I have three doors to do. Where can I get the parts to do it myself? From what I can tell, I only need springs, drums and cables if I cut the overhead track to use for...

I have a 2.5 ton Allied jack that I have overall been happy with. It has been bleeding down, and I found the thread on adjusting the overload on it. It was about 5 turns out, but I also found a lot of oil on the release and the adjuster. I think it is time for a rebuild. It also has a broken...

Back in 2001 I built this 30x40x10 pole barn with a carport off the side. I've been using pretty hard ever since. The roof is insulated, the ridge cap is a skylight, it has a 200 amp service off the main house, water a phone. It's nothing really special, but it has some major work flow...

I have a Backyard Buddy that I would like to put some lights under. Has anyone else mounted lights of some sort to their lift? Is everyone else using hand held drop lights under the lift? Thanks in advance!
