Hi all, I have a puzzle on my hands today... I have a light on the side of our hall heading downstairs that is on a three way switch. The power wire comes into the switch at the top of the stairs. I am trying to add another light at the top of the ceiling that will be on its own switch. I...

Hi all, found this today at the local thrift. Asking $169. All the drawers work with the exception of the one sticking out. Just needs to be greased up i would think. The drawers have rust on the bottom but all in all pretty decent shape. Says it was from an old cotton mill. Thank that $169 is a...

Hi all, I have an older Hankison 1302-1 coelasance unit. I am looking for the replacement filter for it. I have called several places and they cannot find it their catalogs. I have googled the **** out of it. Anyone have some expertise on these units? thanks!

Hi all, I have some holes that I need to expand through some pretty tough iron. Doing a little research, the tool for my job is a core drill bit. I have posted a link to example below. I have tried to find a set online but am striking out. I will try to contact HSS but was wondering if someone...

Hi all, I was able to score about 15 large florescent lights from work. They were remodeling and took the old ones out. They are in great shape. They are a three bulb unit. When I picked them up the electrician said it would only work on 277 volts and I would need a new ballast. So of course I...

Hi all, I have several 24 volt dewalt batteries and few drills that work with them but the batteries are dead. I successfully "bumped" several 14 and 12 volt dewalts back to life so want to try it with the 24's before I pitch them. I do not know the poles on the batteries though. There are 4...

Hi all, I have built a nice homemade parts ********. It has awesome capacity and runs great. I use motors out of orbital buffers that I have been able to find at pawn shops but have now gone through two of them. I can find the buffers pretty cheap - $15 bucks - but if I could find a higher...

Hi all! I have an older Ingersoll Rand upright that is giving me fits. I started a thread earlier and we ran through a good many ideas but wanted start fresh with where we are now, what we can rule out and add some pictures. Hopefully someone can push this across the finish line. It has a new...

Well, a new/old compressor. I am thinking this is a wiring issue now. I have purchased a nice older Ingersoll Rand 80gal 5hp. The unit starts up and runs to about 50lbs of pressure and then starts slowly shutting down and stops. The motor trips at that point. I have just replaced the pressure...
