    Natural Gas Line

    I have a similar set up here. 1" gas line approx. 1/4 mile from the well to the house. You'll need a "field" regulator at the well to reduce the pressure in the line. I also have a dryer before the field regulator. I have a "house" regulator at the garage to reduce it to useable pressure there...

    20 gal Parts washer, new to me, What goes in it.

    I use ZEP parts washer solvent in mine, from Grainger. Tractor Supply sells solvent too, but I don't remember the brand name. I have gas heat in my garage and don't worry about fires from that, but they will catch on fire if you grind or weld directly in them. Common sense is the rule.

    "Blank" grommets and throttle cable modification

    For the cable you're on the right track, but you can search some motorcycle parts suppliers if you need additional sizes. For the 'grommet' search eBay for "rubber hole plugs", or Google the same for more distributors.

    This is why...

    I know people who have had wood stoves in their garages and houses since before I was born. (before someone corrects that statement, they had woodstoves before I was born, I didn't know them before I was born) I had a wood stove for years myself. Never burned my house down. It's comes down to...

    Retractable Air Hose on a Trolley?

    Care to share, or is it a secret and you're just teasing us. Seriously though, there are cheap versions of everything, I just posted McMaster off the top of my head and for reference.

    Retractable Air Hose on a Trolley?

    You can run a festoon cable (1/8" coated wire rope) through the coiled air hose to hold it up out of the way. Mcmaster-Carr carries complete festoon systems with trollies, they are pricey. http://www.mcmaster.com/#air-hose-festoon-systems/=kf3wmh

    Dayton gas heater

    I have a Trane, similar setup, that has a 4x4 (approx) cover on the side wall that opens to light the pilot. Follow the small gas line off the valve, it should go inside the heater to the pilot, and it should be pointing at the thermocouple. After the pilot is lit as explained above you will...

    How to cut steel siding?

    I use Malco Turbo Shear that fits on a cordless drill. http://www.toolbarn.com/malco-tshd.html It made every cut I needed on my building metal.

    Apparently not a Fram guy!

    Might be a little too late in the post, and most probably don't care, but here's an interesting article. http://www.wranglerforum.com/f5/eating-crow-fram-oil-filters-and-my-visit-to-frams-r-and-d-facility-in-dayton-ohio-111282.html

    Apparently not a Fram guy!

    I might be more interested if the Fram filter would have been cut open on video, not just showing it after the fact. I totally agree with djjsr's post. I've always used Fram, I've always heard the horror stories, but I've never lost an engine from oiling problems. Just my opinion on the subject.

    Air line question

    Should be fine. Mount it where it won't get damaged, but if it does it's easy to fix. I'm sure there will be many more opinions though.

    Stacked two 44" HF 13 drawer boxes

    I think it's a great idea. I've mixed my boxes to get more storage in one unit, but never thought to use two bottoms. I'll have to start measuring mine.

    Casting with hard rubber

    You might try 2 part epoxy resin. You can get it at arts and crafts stores. I've never tried to use it in a mold for parts, but it cures very hard. Also check this out, http://www.caswellplating.com/restoration-aids/alumilite-casting-products/alumilite-super-casting-kit.html I've never used...

    Need help estimating concrete

    A pad 2'X3'X4" is .07 cu/yd. It will take 4 80# bags of quickcrete. Personally I'd use the mixer if you have it. It's no harder to wash it out than a wheelbarrow. Hope this is the info you needed.
