    Metal foundry near Raleigh that can reproduce vintage parts?

    I found a few foundries listed but has anyone used any of the locals for reproduction of vintage machine parts? The place I read about the most is Cattail Foundry in Pennsylvania, run by Amish. Sounds like you just mail them the part and they will make repros and bill you but if I could find...

    Connections for metal duct work?

    OK so I have quickly figured out that with wall thickness differences, 6" metal duct work doesn't fit the plastic connectors. Are metal 45's and y's available for 6" ducts? Is that a specialty item or do the borgs carry such things? Forgive me that I have not looked there yet, but so often...

    Metal DC pipe outside?

    I'm about ready to outfit my shop with duct work. My workshop is on a slop and raised off the ground from 2 feet down to about 6 inches. I'm thinking about going under the shop as opposed to up in the rafters both for DC efficiency and less duct material. I'm curious though if the metal duct...

    Insulating a metal roof?

    Need advice on the best type of insulation for a metal roof shop. Is there something between batted fiberglass home center insulation and the industrial building variety? Rafters are 2x6 topped by 1x4 perlins then sheeted metal roofing. With batted fiberglass I'm limited to R-19 which is 6...

    Metal Supplier between Columbia and Charlotte?

    A few years ago we bought some metal roofing/siding from a supplier who had great prices because they fabricated it themselves and sold it to retail merchants. I can't find any paperwork and I don't remember the name of the company. I believe it was between Charlotte and Columbia on the west...

    I am looking into building a new shop on my property. What do you recommend as far as a metal building vs a traditional stick building? Any recommendation on size or type of building? I know bigger is better and I do have 5 acres but want to watch my budget as I still need to buy a good...

    Hit metal with the Sawstop

    The manual says that the blade brake won't trigger on small bits of embedded metal in wood, including staples. It passed my idiot test, as I was trimming down a panel sled from my old TS and hit an embedded steel screw (McFeelys, 1/2" #6, black oxide, to be precise). I didn't make it all the way...

    Metal Corner Guards and Rain Diverters

    For my newly created shop, I need a rain diverter to go over the door because I cannot install gutters. I've also been trying to find an angled piece of weather proof metal (aluminum, diamon plate or stainless) to protect the edge of the plywood in the 5' door ways. The most likely thing to work...

    Best source in the RDU area for sheet metal?

    I need to buy some sheet metal (either 18 or 20 guage galvanized steel) to fabricate the discharge chute for the dust collector. My shear is good for 52", so I'd like to find some 48" wide flat sheet (or narrower). This is the same material that commercial HVAC metal ducts are fabricated from...
