Were these bought over the years as you kept growing taller:D I like the idea of repurposing. I have a stack of old jeans that or only worn through at the thighs. If I am good, I may have some denuim dust covers made for some of the shop tools. I just have to convince the resident sewing machine ope...

Thanks Ed, I like your idea for the pin lock much better than anything I have seen "store bought". I have the G-3 chuck so it looks like all I need to do is measure the outside diameter of the adapter to find the correct idex plate from Ironfire and then I should be in business. If I get r...

I thank all of you for your replies but after several days of due diligence and a couple of bids from reputable companies I have decided that the split mini heat pump units would be the ideal solution but are very cost prohibitive. I could almost build a new shop with central heat and air for what ...
