Re: Garage shelving from cattle panels
Ed: Thanks - I promised not to spend a lot on materials while I learn woodworking and 'free metal' had my number. Also any new lumber was from the 70% off pile at Home Depot. I made each panel in 2 foot sections with just glue and pipe clamps. I then used glue and dowels to join the two foot parts t...

Garage shelving from cattle panels
I found someone getting rid of their old metal horse corral fences for free to anyone who would come out and cut them up, so I went out with my daughter and we cut 'em up and hauled 'em back to the house. I wanted to create some kind of four-tiered garage shelving and these provided a skeletal frame...

Re: Best Xmas gift - Magna Air Compressor (plus question)
Ed: Thanks for your feedback, and explanations. You've also solved a longstanding issue for me: I have the same portable sand blaster and suffered repeat clogging while using it. T'was the long hose killer all along! Thanks for that, seems so obvious. Next time I'll use a shorter one. Incredible dea...

Trying out the flexible shaft on my 10er
This was a banner Xmas - I received both a free (and partially rusty) barbell weight set from my neighbors, and a shopsmith flexible shaft purchased through eBay from my wife. So to combine the two I placed the rather large wire wheel I got with my 10er and made short work of the rust on the weight ...
