    Old Handy lift table (anyone else using an OG table?)

    Just got an old Handy table from a friend - works just fine, albeit pretty low by today's standards. I like old stuff, I guess. Anyone else still using one? (please excuse the mess - the shop is still a disaster)

    KFC sign project - LED retrofit advice needed.

    I'm doing a They Live-inspired KFC sign for the shop, and can use some advice about lighting it. First, it's around 7'x14' and will be wall-mounted. This is the sign: I want to backlight it with pale blue LEDs that pulse with the stereo on the other end of the shop, so I have 2 primary...

    Matco VT46 valve core tool

    Well, I sat down to locate a replacement for my favorite valve core tool, and according to the Internet, it does not and has never existed – so now I have to have one, over all other similar tools. Do any of you have one of these? Or have any of you ever seen one? I’m in the market.

    any way to weld nuts with a Lenco Panelmaster?

    I'm looking at using collared or piloted weld nuts in some products, but the only tool I have that seems like it might work to weld them is my Lenco PM. Is this a far-fetched idea? I have zero knowledge about weld nuts.

    24" MSC Bandsaw (09514654) - rehab and keep, or let it go?

    I've inherited a well-worn MSC 09514654 24" band saw from the old business that was last used around 10 years ago and was stored outside for a year. I've started removing the rusted steel residue from the catch tray at the bottom and am looking at removing the table to soak it in rust remover...

    picked up some Lista cabinets for the workshop

    Picked up Lista cabinets for the workshop Friday from a 50-year-old local company that built graders and has now closed (also where I got my Weldsale table and my 3'x12'x1" welding table) - approximately 35 linear feet of counter-height storage wall components in various conditions depending on...

    anyone familiar with CP QRS5.0 screw compressors?

    I'm finally getting around to putting my CP QRS5.0 into service. I bought it at an SC State surplus auction in 2016/17 or so after a tech school student backed into it with a forklift, causing cosmetic damage to various panels, but I never got around to installing it. Now that I've looked it...

    the Bendpak air line ferrule got me. (HD9-ST) - EDIT: possibly the lock release valve

    ONE plastic ferrule among 2 lifts failed. Someone please tell me these are easy to get quickly (Amazon, etc.?) Aside from that, I could write a short essay about the quality disparity between the overall design (good) and hardware/instructions (pretty bad) on this lift (well, these two lifts.)...

    void under slab (under 2 post lift) - can it be filled/mudjacked?

    I'm renting a space from a friend in a pretty old building (40s or earlier) with concrete slab floors. I've been in there for a year now, and am just getting the electrical sorted and installing my 4-post storage lifts and a 2-post service lift. Today, when setting a post on the 2-post lift, I...
