Is there a good car lift FAQ out there? I'm really looking for a stacker more than a lift, something that would allow me to cram one more car into my small garage. Price is of course a big point, I c

I am moving into a new house in a few weeks, and am looking to paint the basement floor to keep dust down and to give some kind of sealing. What should I use to coat the floor with? As well, how much

Well, technically thost bolts don't really hold you in. The seatbelts are what hold you in, those bolts really just hold the seat down. It would be nice obviously to keep the seat in place during a c

This would back up what I was told as well. For mild steel the 75A/25C works great. For aluminum, pure Argon is the only way to go, but it's more expensive so it's a waste of money if you are welding

You probably want battery isolaters (big diodes) between each battery. Otherwise you get problems if one battery has a higher voltage than another and starts back-charging, especially when the automa

I think you should play with thermostats a bit. They don't do ANYTHING in short bursts. Not to mention that taking metal and subjecting it to alternating heat and blasts of cold is far from a nice wa
