I have a few screws inside a couple of cabinets that aren't easily reachable and are slotted head screws. These 3 screws hold 2 cabinets together, I want to move one of the cabinets. The screws are near the top edge of the cabinets, so there isn't a lot of room. Also, they are slotted head...

When my dad died I inherited this metal table, it has that upper shelf which can fold up and a full shelf under the main table top. Some time in the last 6 months some kind of solution spilled on it and made the tabletop rusty. I found it when I cleaned it off today, I sprayed some Simple Green...

Probably back around 2010 I found this in a truck I bought, I think. I know I didn't buy it. I know it is some type of sharpener. Would I use it to sharpen tools or pocket knives? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got this drill first free last year. Do people still use these things? I don't know if the battery is any good, probably not. Searched on eBay and a new battery is $14.95

I have started the cleanup / garage rehab on the messyest garage. It is so bad I can't find my Tapcons to put down the bottom plate, so I'll have to go buy some and then I'll find them next week. I have to cleanup / rehab at the same time. #Whatamess I'm studding out the back wall to be able...

I'm going to pour a pad outdoors to build a lean too for my compressor, have some questions. 60 gallon Campbell-Hausfield compressor. The pallet the compressor is on (inherited it from my dad) is 32" by 27" or 28". Is a pad 40" x 40" a good size? I'm thinking it will be 36.5" by 36.5" after...

I've cut off one door that I'm going to use as the counter top but it hangs over. The doors are 34 1/2" wide, the base cabs are 24 1/4" deep and the foundation sticks out an inch or 2. If I pull out the cabs 3 " or so the door/counter hangs over about 5 3/4". What do you guys think of the...

Like it says I want to build an outside closet for my compressor. The compressor is one of those 60 gal Campbell Hausfield's (inherited when my dad died) that is really noisy. I'm wondering since I will be putting the compressor in there how big it should be and I suppose I'll have to insulate...

Any of you guys have a right angle drill attachment, the one that turns a regular drill into a right angle drill? I need to drill at least 50 joists total to run electrical and plumbing on a couple of different project. I have been looking at a Milwaukee Super Hawg or the regular Milwaukee...

In my 16 x 22 VW garage I have a spider problem. I have not worked in that gar much this summer so every time I go in it I I have a bunch of spider webs. What is the best way to get rid of them if I would not like to take the donor VW out of that gar (will if I have to) and the tool boxes...

I'm looking for a way to raise the inside height of garage joists that span the width of my garage to put in a lift. I have a hip roof and the garage is 16' x 22', there are 3 or 4 joists (maybe not the right term) that go across the width (16') that sit on the rim(?) of the garage. I'd like...

Finally have got the compressor hooked up & running in my 16 x 22 VW garage. It is a Campbell Hausfield 60 gal. comp. that seems quite loud to me. I am thinking that I should pour a pad and build a room / lean to to house the compressor but am not sure of the size or if I should attach the lean...

Ok, yeah I know this garage forum and I maybe should post this in the "Free Parking" section but I will do it here because I think it will get more looks. If Mods want to move it ok. In my 1956 house (the one that has 2 garages) I do not have grounding rods in the ground outside the main 2 car...

I am thinking of adding a switch for the compressor to be the 4th switch in a 4 gang box. The reason I am thinking of putting the compressor outlets on a switch is because the compressor will be in a hard to access place in my garage and I do not want it running all the time. I want to be able...
