    Putting up a shop in CA - fire department being a pain

    I'm on an acre and having a metal shop put up in the back of my lot. So far the fire department has been 10x more of a headache than the county. They are requiring a compaction report because to get to my shop you drive on my asphalt driveway, then a 100ft gravel driveway (which is really just...

    Drainage question

    My house has a drainage ditch in the back yard that runs from east to west. Basically the drainage from a handful of houses to the east runs through my backyard to a 6in drain. My neighbor said he was around when they installed it and apparently it's a 6in drain that has a 90* coupler that...

    Electrical panel question

    I'm stumped here so I'm hoping one of you guys have ran into this issue before and know what to do. I've got an old 125A Zinsco combo main panel w/meter that I need to replace. The panel is mounted to the outside of my house, just left of the garage door. The feed from the power company comes...

    Anyone ever drill out their spray gun tip?

    I have a cheap Harbor Freight gun that I'd like to modify to use a 2.0 tip to spray sprayable body fillers. I've read about guys drilling them out and then "lapping" the needle so it seats and seals at the tip. There's a video on youtube of a guy talking about doing it and he goes into detail on...

    How to move and transport an 80 gallon compressor?

    I'm looking at a decent deal on a vertical 80 gallon compressor on craigslist and the specs for the compressor read that it's 600lbs. I have no access to any sort of forklift, tractors, pallet jacks, pulleys from the ceiling or any equipment like that. Anyone have any ideas of how to get this...

    Any way to make a home made flange tool?

    I'm doing a rear quarter panel patch on my 67 Barracuda and the back of the quarter curves up behind the real valance. The factory has it flanged behind the valance to make it look as sleek as possible (still not very sleek) and I have it fitted up in there but it's going to look kind of goofy...

    Questions about electrolysis rust removal

    Just put together a setup and have done a few tools with success but I was wondering a couple things that I can't seem to find much info on. If the part is too big for the tub, can you let one end of it stick out of the water and then flip it over and do the other side when you're done or...

    Cheap DeWalt tool chests at Home Depot for those of you in the San Jose area

    I noticed that these are much cheaper in the San Jose area. $350 for the two chests as opposed to the normal $500 price. May be cheaper in your neck of the woods too but here in Sacramento they are full price. I went in and pulled it up on my phone and tried to buy them at that price here in...

    Hydraulic Press safety questions

    What types of safety cautions do you guys take when using a press? I bought one of those 20 ton presses from Harbor Freight last year and it works great but I always have that uneasy feeling that piece I'm pressing or the extension I'm using is going to fly out and do some major damage. I...
