yeah it snapped in half. the theory is that the tree took a lightning strike the day before. then yesterday, the wind was blowing just enough to tip it over.

no not yet.

came home to this yesterday. nobody was home so thankfully nobody was hurt. but man, what a mess..

looks good man, i like it.

more than likely it'll probably stay on there 99% of the time. i don't typically work on large sized projects, so i should have plenty of room. but if i do need more space, i'll just pull it out and set it somewhere. no plans to make another "storage" mount for it, but i could easily enough.

sweet, i like the versatility. for the bottom shelf on mine, i've "sourced" some discarded metal shelving that i'm going to use as the shelf surface. originally i had planned to use some steel mesh, but after pricing it, i'll go with the free stuff. it'll collect dust, but it'll work just...

thank you. i just wanted something simple, mobile, etc. something i can weld/grind on, pound on, and mount a vise to. and it tucks into that back corner by the tool box perfectly.

actually, i'm a lefty. i've got a wooden bench in my basement with the vise on the right so i guess i'm just used to it. i like the idea of drilling/tapping some holes..

nope, not tippy at all. i yanked on it pretty hard with the wheels locked and it barely moved. thanks paul. neow paul?

yeah, my back will thank me for it!

thanks! man, you have no idea how long i've needed this table...

after years of working without a vise in my garage, i finally have one! no more running into the house and down to the basement to use a vise. and no more welding, cutting and grinding on a black & decker workmate! i finally got sick of lighting it on fire i guess. :lol_hitti anyway, here's my...

i think someone did actually.. there was a link to a hf ammeter irrc.

well, i finally got some time to do a little troubleshooting on this. i looked everything over closely but couldn't find anything wrong, so i figured i'd try a new breaker. they're only 3 bucks.. at first i thought it did the trick, but no. i still tripped. so after going from the garage to the...

great info here guys, many thanks. i haven't had the chance to dig into this further quite yet, but i will soon. i need to finish up this table project so i can park in the garage again! there have been mice in there before, yes. another thing i will certainly look for.

thanks jimdon, i'll do that. i'm guessing it's 14ga wire. it's cheaper than 12 so.. you know how builders can be. i don't know what pie/romex is...

thanks for the suggestions guys. the house was built in 06 so everything is fairly new. to start, i'm going to figure out what ga. wire it is. since they're 15a breakers, i'm guessing it's 14 ga. but i don't know for sure. i'll look though. if it's 14, i'll swap the breaker out for another one...

yup, 110v mig (lincoln pro-mig 140) on a 15 amp curcuit. i haven't noticed the gun staying hot though. i'm pretty sure lincoln says to use it on a 20 amp circuit, but 15 is what i have. but like i said, it's never tripped before. sometimes it trips mid-bead, sometimes after i'm done. what i'd...

ok, thanks for the suggestion. as far as i can tell, based on what goes out and what stays on when it trips, this one breaker only supports the outlets in the garage. there are 4 of them, 2 on the walls and 2 on the ceiling for the garage doors.

the breaker for my garage outlets keeps tripping while i'm welding. i've been welding in there for years w/out ever tripping it before.. why would it do it now? i can lay about a 2" bead before it trips. sometimes it'll trip even when i'm not actually welding, but the welder is powered on. like...
