Look into getting a 1 phase to 3 phase VFD drive, which converts your single phase to a usable 3 phase for the motor. They run about $350, this is the one that I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VDCV4X2/?tag=fabo03-20 . I picked up a brand new 80 gallon 3 phase compressor at an auction...

Check ebay for a supplied air respirator. New ones go for about 450 for the hobbyist. Used ones, when they come up, sell for about 375-400. Consider it a rental, buy a new one, use it and sell it and you might be out 75-100 but you'll feel much better. I bought one with that intent, but I...

Very nice tools, I love them. There is a barely used 10" side cutter sitting under the ferry terminal at Shaw Island. I dropped them when I was climbing the ladder to terminate some motors up on the headframe that raise and lower the slip. Even when the tide is all the way out, it's still a good...

Your tubing diameter will depend on the length of your runs. If you keep the total length of each run under 250' you should be ok with 1/2". When I built my house I found a site that listed your length of run vs tubing size and followed that. It worked well for me. The oxygen barrier is...

My vote is for stick built for many of the same reasons mentioned above. Most importantly, I have no desire for my structural posts to be buried in the ground in concrete. For your electrical and plumbing installations, if you are not drywalling the interior walls, do the bare minimum to get...

I haven't finished it yet but I am in a similar boat as you. My plan was a little different but not much. I plan on putting the QC3 at the end of the run with a series of 1" copper lines running vertical, where the top of the "sets" of pipes are tied together, and the "sets" are tied together...

I will stand by my original post but I want to clear a couple of things up that have been posted since. I am a licensed electrician with 15 years experience so I do know what I am talking about. First, the limiting factor for available current will be the breaker or other current limiting...

If you're main breaker is a 60 amp that is all that is the total available amps to however many panels you put in the house. If you have a 60 amp service wire drop but you change out the main breaker/ disconnect you will need to make sure that you do not exceed the capacity of the wire.... Bad...

Will it work? Yes....is it safe? Moderately. As a licensed electrician I would give you this advice. Ask the landlord to replace it and tell him that his insurance co should give him a decent cut for the upgrade. Another route would be to try and weld with it but if it blows the fuse instead of...

There are plenty of companies that are or have gone under, check your local auction houses to see what they have coming up. At work we just picked up about 80' of pallet racking 12' high for less than $100. There were also some nice work benches that went for low prices as well. Also, for...
