A pair of these (or more) are extremely handy to have, but at $130 each the cost would add up fast.



I'm thinking I can build these with some inexpensive angle iron centered around these (or something similar). I'm always down for a project. The images are links to the products.

Even thought about stepping up to electronic fuel injection to complicate your VW's simple carbureted engine? Even though EFI does add several extra components to your system, you can't deny its benefits.

3-wire feeders to detached structures that had no other parallel metallic pathways(eg. conduit, water and gas piping, communication cabling, etc.) were allowed up until the 2008 NEC code cycle.
From then on, 4-wire feeders have been required.
4-wire feeders to panels in attached structures have always been required.

What do you do when you need a full capable yet temporary paint booth at your location? Rent that bouncy house that was at the last birthday party your kids attended!

Well, not exactly, but along the same idea. Check out the portable paint booths by Mobile Solutions.

Here's a cool attachment from Multitool. It turns nearly any bench grinder into a belt and disc grinder. This could be quite handy to have in the garage.
They come in several sizes. This one is the 36x2 version.

i've seen some similar to that, pretty cool way to attached it to the bench wheel. Hoping to load up my garage with some stuff, this will have to make it on a list somewhere lol

Yea that is pretty damn nifty I must say. Have a grinder in the shop that would be perfect on.

I recently learned Dave Kindig has partnered with AzkoNobel to create a custom paint line called Modern Classikk. I'll be keeping my eyes on this.
