    Which Wood CNC?

    I had a Shapeoko XXL and it was pretty user friendly. I upgraded to a OneFinity and it will be arriving in a few weeks. It uses ball screws instead of belts and can be assembled in under a half hour. https://www.myerswoodshop.com/blog/onefinityvsshapeoko Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

    Atlas Drill Press

    I tried the column cap and it might fit. I would have to file down some ribs on the cap. I took apart the motor to show everyone the state of the insulation on the original wiring. I may attempt to solder in some new wiring or heatshrink over the original wiring. I will repack the bearings as...

    Atlas Drill Press

    Yes, I have been searching Facebook. craigslist, letgo, and offerup. Hopefully, something will pop up. It is hard to find a new motor with a 1/2" shaft.

    Atlas Drill Press

    Thanks. I just ordered some Grez Off from Amazon. Luckily, I have Bar Keeper’s Friend and Paste Wax. I’ll have to check to see if the column cap fits. Otherwise, I found a plastic version on eBay. I’d prefer chrome, but plastic would be fine in a pinch. The original switch on the head wasn’t...

    Atlas Drill Press

    I finally set up my old Atlas drill press. I plan to clean off the grime and polish the chrome, but leave the original paint. I like the patina look. I decided to open up the motor to check out the wiring. Most of the internal wiring inside the motor is very brittle. The motor is a Dunlap 1/3...

    Using heat shrink wrap for temp garage?

    I used shrinkwrap strapping as extra supports between the ribs. I originally put those up for the original tarp. I had issues with water pooling in the saggy Shelter Logic tarp. The strapping help keep the tarp from ripping from the weight of rain water. When you shrinkwrap a boat, you make a...

    Using heat shrink wrap for temp garage?

    I shrinkwrapped my Shelter Logic frame after the tarp fell apart after a few years. The shrinkwrap is about 1.5 yrs old and is still holding up. Shrinkwrapping has a learning curve to it if you use one of the cheap torch guns, but it isn't terribly difficult. I started using a Shrinkfast gun and...

    Power Vented heaters

    I bought a Beacon Morris 45k heater on sale at Menards in September for $389. I'm sure the prices are the highest this time of year though.

It's an attached 22'L x 29'w x 10't oversized two car. It is insulated and drywalled. I'm planning to install a 45k Beacon Morris heater...

    Home Depot Clearance Thread 2015

    How much were the Artic Cove misters? My local store had them on clearance for $79 last week. I'm wondering if they didn't update the sticker on purpose. If you wouldn't mind, could you please post a picture of your receipt? Here is what was in my local store last week.

    finding a quiet air compressor for the garage

    I have a 10 gallon California Air Tools compressor and it is unbelievably quiet. I plan on plumbing in another tank for storage. If you do a lot of grinding or painting, you would need a much bigger compressor. It suites my needs for light tasks like installing wood trim and filling up tires...

    Harbor Freight 68050 Low Profile Jack Coupon

    Does anyone happen to have a current coupon for the 2 ton low profile jack? I found coupons for the low profile 3 ton in Hot Vws, but no coupons for the 2 ton. I also searched the Harbor Freight thread a little bit. I really need the 2 ton for the extra reach. Thank you.

    Reel #2 looks like a Craftsman Professional. I just bought one yesterday at Sears for ~$50. I will be checking to see if there are any K Marts near me that are still in business. Nice scores.
