I use this and it works incredibly well, although it can't compete with the fun factor of the butane torch

Technically bought some electricians for half a day. Finally got this shit wired up. Literally had like 6-7 companies come quote me. A month later had a total of 3 quotes. I don’t get some people.

Looks nice!

I need one of those for my back. Continually plan on doing it but I'm such a procrastinator.

PS - BTW, back is much better... YES!!

I've been looking at these work benches at HD for a while now. I didn't buy one because I thought they were a little overpriced. Well apparently I wasn't the only one who thought that because they have been discontinued and the price has dropped from $500. to $300 CDN. That's a much more reasonable price so I bought one. I got the white with blue because it's a little more unique than the standard red or black with silver.

I've had the same one, but black and with a built-in 110V strip, for several years now. It's been holding up well despite all its dents and scratches. I like the modular attachment offerings for it. I have the metal peg board on mine now with a matching shelf. Great bang for buck, just wish the casters were a bit beefier.

While I was sanding a mirror frame yesterday, my sander suddenly slowed way down, then smoke started pouring out from the motor.

Just ordered a replacement Dewalt 1/4 sheet, comes with a carrying bag. There were none at Home Depot yesterday, but one should be on my doorstep tomorrow.

I have the same one, too, but in black. 46"? I put a small vice on mine.

I always want to try something but since my wife says she likes how I naturally smell I don't bother. Considering I'm very much the ugly one and not the bread winner I believe her.

After a few "explosions" in the gas oven that scared the caca out of the better half, I Googled the symtoms and the culprit was identified as the oven igniter.

Their life span is about 8 years, mine was over 12 years old.

The High Pressure Fuel Pump died on the Porsche - $1400 for the part, 2 weeks waiting for it, and 10 hours of my time to replace it.

The joys of ownership.

Not sure what you're speaking about? Every stock quick jack picture lifting a Porsche is the same way I have it.

If it's to keep the hoses out of the way from where I was working - the HPFP was directly under the middle and I accessed from both front and back. Please explain...

Oddly though, just saw this (attached). Seems to be a discrepancy on how these are used with a 911. Only thing to note, mine's a 981 (mid-engine), not a 991 (rear-engine). I do try to rock the shit out of the car when it's an inch off the ground. It was solid. But - something I'll keep in mind going forward.
