If you repair your own saws then choose one of the brands suggested in this thread. Parts are available online for all the major brands. If you don't repair your own saws,the thing about buying online or at a big box store is that once it has been fueled it can't be returned if it has a problem...

Radiant floor heating is the best option for comfort, but look at the cost of fuel where you are. Electricity and Propane where I live have gotten real expensive. I stopped heating my home with propane and put in a wood stove, took advantage of the 30% federal biomass fuel rebate. Lots of free...

Hope to hear from the OP how this turned out.

There is no estate tax in California, You can shield your assets from federal estate tax with a trust. Most people leave California because of the high cost of living, congested cities, crime, government regulation and lack of affordable housing. Many of my friends and family relocated to...

Industrial artifacts . Very cool Marquette tool box with decals and patina. great Ebay item :) The torch twin tip ( turkey fork looking thing) is primarily used for soldering tubing. two flames heat both sides of the tube at the same time. other tips are for cutting, heating, welding and...

PA , automotive or marine speakers are pretty good for a shop. They hold up well to hot / cold / damp environments. I had a pair of audiophile quality speakers I built that sounded great . They hung on the wall in my shop, but a couple cold damp winters followed by hot summers warped the...
