If you have an open ceiling you could use ratchet straps to lift the equipment off the ground then another to pull it sideways as needed. If the tool is heavy use some 2x4s to brace the ceiling...
The Leviton outlets that I looked at were all rated for #12 max, but I just found a Cooper 5-20R that is rated for up to #10 so it is possible if one shops carefully.
The fill violation issue is...
Agreed, and it can vary a lot between locations. For example, here in Oregon everything in the garage must be GFCI except if you have a single outlet (a duplex is two outlets) for a device such as a...
I don't agree for general use 120V circuits as they might have a dozen or more duplex outlets on them and therefore are not candidates for conversion to 240V/30A. As such using #10 wire for general...
Use a subpanel with at least 12 spaces, not one of those dinky 6 space panels that you'll fill up with no room for expansion. I have an attached garage so when the main panel started filling up...
I'll echo what Dan Hahr said, upsize the sub panel while you're at it which will leave room for future additions. Here is a 12/24 panel that will accept your existing breakers -...

It doesn't help that fingers bleed worse than most other places on your body. I learned this lesson while stropping a #4 blade and being too lazy to secure the strop properly. For some reason I...
If you want to live a long and healthy life you need to stop breathing because that is giving you cancer.
Seriously, how many of you grew up in a house with lead paint, asbestos flooring, or lead...
Buying a LN plane is certainly not a bad idea if you're flush with cash, but I can't help but think that you could just as easily pop into Ed Lebetkin's tool store above the Woodwright's School in...
I voted "OSB" because that's exactly what I used and am happy with it. Heavy objects still get screwed into the studs like Julian described a few posts back. It isn't pretty and painted, but the warm...
I'd be surprised if your local code requires you to add a new ground rod for the sub panel considering it sounds like it will be located a few feet or less from the existing main. But as an example...
I'd do something like this: http://www.homedepot.com/c/how_to_install_electrical_conduit_outdoors_HT_PG_EL
My QR vice from Lee Valley came in a few days ago. I haven't built my workbench yet so I'm not able to use it, but I get clean it up and play with it a bit. It is manufactured by York in CZ and my...
250.140 does allow connecting 4 wire devices to 3 wire outlets in a very limited set of circumstances, certainly nothing that allows changing a 4 prong outlet to a 3 prong. Moot point though as your...
I have a scar on my left index finder to remind me that a bucksaw can skitter down a limb and hit the hand that is holding the work. I have a scar 1" from my left eye to remind me to not allow wood...
I was really tempted by the pink elephant hooks, but in the end all I came away with was some browser cookies. Last week however I got the large York QR vice and some aluminum bar clamps so that I...
This is why I like Paul Sellers approach to teaching, he uses a minimum of tools and shows several ways to accomplish a given task depending on the tools that you have at hand. A plow plane is truly...
It wasn't displaying for me first thing this morning, but about 2 hours ago I was able to peruse all 121 items that were available at the time. Also thankful there were no tools such as the plow...
As you can tell by the varieties of answers, there are many ways to accomplish the groove, but the purpose built tool for the job is the plow plane. You can get old wood ones (mine has a 5/16" wide...
Protection from what?
We have 2 car garage that is 20'x26.5' that one car parks in and the other out in the driveway (we don't get much sun). Unfortunately the house is only 1200 sq. ft. so the garage is the catch-all and...
Paul Sellers seems to like the QR vises from Lee Valley: https://paulsellers.com/2012/01/looking-for-a-good-vise/
Down in the comments he says "I get used to the reverse turn QR very quickly and I...
Oh, I know the quest for the workbench. I went out and purchased the wood to build a bench just like Bob Rozaieski builds but was so disgusted with the 2x12 DF lumber that I went out and got 8/4...
