I'm helping a friend with his new building and he went with heat in the floor but he is using a waste oil furnace to heat the fluid that runs through the floor. So if you have clean waste oil or transmission fluid you can burn that and it works great. And can cut down on energy cost as well. We...

I gave my dad a set and made wooden V blocks so he could put his 32ft pontoon boat in his garage when he went back to Florida for the winter. He loved it

Very nice play with your toys and block the driveway so no one can bother you

Put a inline dryer for now but you may want a regular dryer unit. I have one on my big shop compressor plus an auto blow down valve that open every 20 mins for 3 seconds and that helps a lot. They are cheap compared to paint supplies about 60.00 plus some plumbing

I have two Stihl's chain saws. A model 051 one is from the early 70's starts every time but it's a bear to use. The weight is what kills you. Then a smaller 026 from the mid 80's that still runs like new. I also have back pack blower from the 80's and a hedge trimmer I bought two years ago...

You can get clean oil from any transmission shop, repair shop, hydraulic shop most of the time if you give them a 55 gallon drum and ask them to fill it and then pickup it up right away and leave another one you will be good. Also you can find used and rebuilt heaters on line. The biggest...

Have you looked into a waste oil heater ? As long as you have a good supply of clean oil and and an air compressor it is cheap heat. We use it in my shop and it works great.

I vote for Craftsman they have lots off sizes and you can add on as needed without spending money on a professional box unless you find a tool dealer that has a trade in box you can make a deal on

First it's not a Hemi car it's my sons car from high school 340 Automatic runs mid 12's but he keeps working on it and going slower Second I start welding the frame connectors in with the car on jack stands to get them in straight and level but then we will put it on the rotisserie to finish...

I used different pictures and a different computer to get the pictures to upload. So here they are. Looking at it right now it's about 10 foot long but it will expand to 28 feet between the mounting arms

For whatever reason it says photo's are uploaded but they don't show up i'm working on it

I decided after years of welding floors and frame connectors in laying on my back or if I was luck using one of my lifts at work but I had to be done before the guys were back to work on Monday I didn't want tie up a bay so one of tech's couldn't work. So I found some cheap plans on eBay and...

They can get out of whack if you leave them set for along time with tension on the spring. I hook 2 torque wrenches together with a funny looking socket and if both torque wrench click at the same torque and the same time it is within specs and your good to go and it's a cheap test worse comes...

I have the same Craftsman Atlas lathe and had to replace the bearings a few years ago but it is the best small size lathe I have used. I use it everyday and it and wouldn't trade it for any other lathe out there.

I vote for gas not flux. I suggest you get the best welder you can for your budget then work with it for hours and hours on old junk until you perfect it. Don't get to up set with the welds at first, play with the heat setting and wire speed. Most important is make notes on the setting that...

I use the old brake drum on all axle bearings and I add a 2" thick piece of steel with a 2 1/2" hole in the center and it's about 8" round this holds the drum down because without it when the bearing pops or breaks the drum will jump up and parts of old bearing will fly out and hit you in the...

I use a GOOD leather welding jacket year round yea in the summer wearing a 10-15 lbs leather jacket gets hot as hell but the bad flash burn you get is worse. It's your body but when your eyes feel like you have sand in them for a week or you go out and the sun and your arms feel like there on...

I use a hot tank and a jet washer in my machine shop. The chemicals I use in both tanks are from Safety Kleen it's called Alumiclean it's non caustic and works great on all types of metals. If you have real thick grease and crap all over the part you do still need to scrape it off some but I...

I'm with the majority buy the best you can with your budget and get one the uses gas. Flux core wire makes a big mess with burn through and the splatter. I have a Miller 250 for bigger jobs and a Snap On for sheet metal and Tig welding both work great for the job I got them for. Use your friends...
