thanks ron, i havent checked it wet, but the surface dry is non-skid i would say. im not worried about slipping or anything, its got a bit of grip to it. Thank you!!!

thanks, its a hobby / business.

exposed concrete is ok, but i like to keep things tidy and clean at my shop. in the past i used some commercial grade typical looking gray epoxy (see pic below), while it looks great it eventually cracks and starts to look crappy. i use a lot of floor jacks and jack stands and im not always...

well its been a while since i post here, but i have been keeping tabs and saving lots of ideas from all the other posts. ill hopefully apply some of them, if funds allow to my new shop space. i build kustom cars and work on old 50's trucks for a living. gone thru 2 other shop spaces so this is...

hey there fellas, so i am renting my very first warehouse in hopes that it is the next step towards opening a shop one day. the space is 1600-1700 SF. it is fully air conditioned which in South Florida its great! it has 2 small offices at the front and a half bath. i decided to make the back...

got the Optrel Satellite. Love it!

sorry to bring this post back up, but i want to place my order on my new helmet perhaps tomorrow. i am looking into the Optrel Helmets. i like the grinding feature cause i find myself welding / grinding a lot. so i guess the Optrel Satellite is the best out right now. looked into pricing and...

well i was strolling around Harbor Freight, yeah i know quality? well they had this deal on a tool box thats 20+ inches and comes with 3 more boxes inside, so thats 4 boxes for $30! couldnt resist. sure they are plastic but for what i will use the boxes it should last a long time. i chose the...

think i like this one better. its got a bigger window and just seems all around better... http://cgi.ebay.com/MILLER-ELITE-BLACK-WELDING-HELMET-216322_W0QQitemZ390020869242QQcmdZViewItemQQptZBI_Work_Saftey_Apparel?hash=item390020869242&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A15|39%3A1|240%3A1318

looking to buy an auto dark helmet. dont want to mess up my eyes! is this miller ok for moderate to occasional welding, anybody have it...

Great! thanks for those pics D Krager. i found a Northern Tool box that looks promising. ill keep shopping around, but something like what you've posted looks like will work for what i need. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200145024_200145024

well, i dont wire up cars on a daily basis but like most do it yourselfer's i have just enough to get by. my problem is the mess! im looking for some advise / help in organizing / storing basic automotive related electrical stuff. id like to be able to take 1 "station / bag" to my work area when...

yeah, i actually took them only the piston and cylinder, half the work is done. i had no way to get the compressor over there. so as soon as the part gets here i will install it and let you guys know. a $40 fix or a $300 new compressor, seems like the right move to me too. thanks again.

did a search and didn't quite find what i was looking for, ive even tried google. my craftsman professional series (yellow and black) 2-1/2 ton floor jack has stopped working properly. it was a quick pumping jack, the kind that in 2 pumps goes from bottom to top (with no weight on it). it...

thanks, funny cause the first thing i do with anything is Google it. thats how i found a cheaper price. i searched the part number on the box... WL211000SJ then i searched the part number on the CH website. it shows up as a repair kit. so it has to be the same thing, it comes in a box with...

thanks, but their price was for just the part. i am to do the install regardless who i buy it from.

thanks major, i found a local repair shop. took them my piston and cylinder and they have the replacement parts. they said $78. found it on the chpower site for $35 +tax & shipping = $50 approx. guess $28 bucks to have it know is worth it? really didnt need it right away. i just feel horrible...

ok, i took the cylinder and head off the compressor. turns out the piston ring isnt really a typical ring. its more of a dish thats sandwiched on the piston. the piston itself is not deep at all. the dish is cracked (therefore not sealing). the cylinder wall is in turn damaged. so i am going to...

HD wasnt much of a help. they gave me a list of small engine repair shops and said that i would have to take it to one of them on their list. thanks for the info, i am searching Campbell Hausfeld. it always seems to happen that way. as is the case with my craftsman floor jack.

ill talk to someone at the local HD. i thought of poking it back on the groove, but didnt want to cause more damage and figured if there was a "tune-up" kit this would be a great time to do it. thanks.
