    Washing Shop Towels, favorite method?

    I picked up an apartment sized washer/dryer combo for cheap. Set it up in the shop and use “the purple stuff” as a detergent. It doesn’t use a ton of water and I run, what waste water there is, through a makeshift oil/water separator. I do use paper towels when building engines but to the lint...

    What type of blade?

    “Flipping it over”? Do you mean running it backwards? I have never done anything like that before. What does it accomplish? And the saw that I would use is a $300 portable setup from Home Depot. Nothing special.

    What type of blade?

    So I am looking for a blade to use in my table saw to cut through some 2” rigid foam that is enclosed in fiberglass. I know that it sounds a bit strange but I got an unlimited supply of door sections that I want to use to insulation one of my outbuildings. (Basically, a door company has solid...

    Price of parts in service dept vs parts dept

    The prices they show on the website are wholesale prices. They sell them that way online just to compete with everyone else selling online. Many times you can get this price when buying in person if you ask the right person. I have worked at several dealerships and not a single one would...

    Air compressor location

    I currently have my compressor in the back corner of my shop. However, it is loud and I am looking to move it. I am thinking about building a "shed" outside off the back of the building to house it. Not to completely hijack the thread but what requirements are there for this type of thing? Is...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I assembled these stools that I found at a garage sale over the weekend. Paid $75 for the 3, brand new in the box stools, an electric buffer with multiple pads, and a brand new in box chainsaw chain sharpener. I feel like that was a pretty good deal.

    2-post lifts for crewcab longbed diesel pick-ups

    I worked at Chevy for some time and nobody in the shop picked up the trucks by the spring perches. All trucks were lifted up by the frames. Due to the way some of the frames curved upwards around the rear of the cab, the lift arms often looked just like this picture. In the many years that I was...

    I know that this is an older thread but I am looking to do the same thing right now and I am wondering if this stuff cures as hard as the concrete around it and if it will handle a loaded cherry picker rolling over it? Mind you, my cuts are " deep and wide at the top. Thanks!

    Septic Tank Riser

    I just added a riser to our tank because it didn't have one. I was redoing the grass where it is located and I thought that I would save myself the headache of having to dig it up later to pump it. I didn't use a gasket or any bolts, I just set it in place, mixed up some "jet set" quick setting...

    4 post lift and transmission work

    You just blew my mind with this this.:shocking: To answer the OP's question... could you? Yes. Would it be easier than just doing it on the ground? Probably not. What car you are working on has a lot to do with things. If you are working on a 95 Honda Civic, it would be easier on the lift as...
