I want to thank all of you for taking the time to reply. you guys threw a wealth of knowledge at me pretty quickly, so I am reading through all the comments as time permits, and trying to decide. I found someone locally who has machine shop experience who is willing to look at this stuff with me...

I have very minimal knowledge about machine work other that running a brake lathe. I’d like to get into it for hot rod building and hobby use. I have no idea what this is worth or if I should look elsewhere. What do you guys think? Sent from my iPhone using...

Thanks for your reply rsanter. I build stuff like this... so low cars are what I need the ramps for.

I have three 10’ doors on the front of my shop. The slab is 5.5” above grade. What should the slope of the ramps be? I guess the length of the ramps would be determined by the slope. I haven’t decided if I want to two separate narrow ramps for each door, or one solid 10’ wide ramp for each...

Thanks for the replies... I hope to be able to pick up the second one real cheap. No price was given, they just said it was cheap. The asking price for the first one is 600 for it and the cabinet, along with some accessories. I don't know what all is with it until I go look at it. Where do you...

This is a different machine It also looks to be a craftsman. Another friend sent me these photos... it looks to be a larger machine than the first one I posted, but then again, I don't know exactly what I am looking at. I was told that it was working properly, but the owner passed away and it...

Not seeing any of those $100.00 deals right now :sad:

I'm about ready to order a VFD to get this drill press up and running... I'm looking at this one... http://dealerselectric.com/JNEV-101-H1.asp It's $138.00. Do any of you guys have experience buying from this place?

I don't pick one up often, although I did use one a few minutes ago to add some oil to my compressor. I had one slip a few years back and I ended up with 5 stitches in my hand. It wasn't the tool's fault though, it really wasn't the correct tool for the job. It was just the only thing I had that...

Very nice sign... I like it!

My father bought the body shell somewhere, ebay, swap meet, I don't remember. There is someone out there that makes them. It was straight out of the mold, so I cut the wheel well openings and I had to cut out the area where the seat is. I made the frame, seat, interior panels, and floor from...

The wagon on the right is my swap meet wagon...just a radio flyer with some racing go kart wheels. The little '36 Ford Roadster is a baby stroller I built for my daughter. She is 9 now.
