The garage is my shop. The basement is not heated. The garage is. It is a walkout basement to the east, 8' of dirt on the west. Sloping on both sides.

I have mentioned before that I have a basement under my garage. The walls are poured concrete, the floor is also concrete. The garage itself also has a concrete floor, and it gets very cold. Would it...

I mentioned before that I was making a craft table for my two youngest grand daughters, but I can't find that post now. It's taken me a while, but I finally have it completed. The base is an old...

Another new toy came in. As they say, "The only difference between men and boys, is the price of their toys" A Grizzly 15" planer, with a helical head. I also bought the cart to go under it.487968

I acquired this antique ice box a while ago, and just got it home. I have a question about restoring it. As you can see the paint on the inside is chipped and in bad shape. Should I sand it down, and...

Yes I am having fun, and yes, Donnie is 101.

A friend of mine, Tom, and his brother Ron, help a local area farmer, Donnie, with his farming operation. Ron recently had knee surgery that didn't go well, so he is laid up for a while. I took his...

At the time I retired, I was working for a local contractor. We would build garages, room additions, decks, replace windows and doors and various other things. He has long since retired and moved...

I got to thinking about this later. In started to think about all those aluminum shavings possibly falling into my router, and decided this was a really bad idea.

Yesterday I was attempting to cut a 1/4" slot into 1/8" aluminum angle, with my sawzall. I got it done, but thought there has to be a better way. That's when I thought of my router table. Has anyone...

So, we had fuel pressure. So far on this car he has replaced the fuel pump, alternator, TIPM, Battery, cables, spark plugs, and a host of other things. On a whim, I decided to check ALL the fuses in...

2007 Dodge Nitro 4.0

I finally found a video showing how to check pressure without a schrader valve. Now I have to find a place in the fuel line to tap in.

I disassembled the manifold to access the fuel rail. The problem is, there is no schrader valve to found. That's what has me stumped.

My 2 youngest grand daughters are both 7 years old. They have out grown their present craft table that's in one of our spare bedrooms. I want to make them a new one. The top will be a combination of...

For you shade tree mechanics out there, how can you be sure, if a fuel injected engine, is actually getting any fuel?



Thanks Greg

I got a new toy today. :) A Supermax 1632 drum sander. Seems to be a well built machine, but it's the first time I have ever used one, so what do I know. I do have a question for anyone who has one...

The table is finished in more of a straight line design, rather than colonial. My wife is pleased.486612486613
One pic is a little caddy-wompus. I don't know how to fix that.

For as long as I can remember we have had this lamp table in our living room. It has a lamp of course, and a pocket area for books and magazines. It was in a colonial style, and my wife wanted me to...

I have wondered before if something like this could be accomplished using v blocks and a planer. :confused:

OOPS ! '97 not '79

Some people have all the luck. Every year our high school buys, rebuilds, restores, some type of classic car, and sells raffle tickets at different events throughout the school year. The final...

I watched some videos about replacing the belts on table saws. Some claim your saw would run smoother, and quieter by replacing the belts with link belts. My saw sat unused for at least 10 - 15...

After reading all the comments, I am beginning to wonder if I am thinking this all wrong. Maybe I should concentrate on a QUALITY planer first, and then save my pennies again for a drum sander. I was...

I have decided on the Supermax 19-38 drum sander. I have not ordered it yet, but plan to today. Now I am in the market for a new planer. I am torn between the Dewalt 735X with 3 knives, and 2 input...

Grizzly G0458z, used, $1000. Supermax 1938, new $2000. Jet 1632 new $1500.

Which would be your choice? Any particular reason?

Thanks Greg
