    Wheel Stands - Stackable.

    Excellent work. I hope you get as much use out of them as I have out of mine.

    Wheel Stands - Stackable.

    I actually am happy to have both. I use the 4" ones commonly to change the oil on my CR-V. It is higher off of the ground and I only need it up a short bit to get good access, and the combination of the 4" and the 6" is good for me to work under my El Camino which is very low to the ground...

    Wheel Stands - Stackable.

    Hey! One of my videos got referenced on Garage Journal and I didn't post it.:thumbup: I use mine all of the time and I love them. Didn't cost me anything additional, all scrap lumber. You can go allot of good ways with something like this, my only suggestion is to get something. I use the...

    Aluminum Garden Gate Paint?

    Rustoleum makes an aluminum primer in their Professional Series sprays. I used it for some aluminum vents on the house 4 years ago. One coat of the aluminum primer and two coats of the Professional Series spray paint. The vents have no signs of ageing and I have been very happy with the...

    1/4" Stubbies with high teeth count? - They rule the World!

    Not exactly what you are talking about, but I got a set of Titan Micro Gearless Ratchets and they are great for removing fasteners in those miserable to reach spots. These things are tiny, so you will never break a fastener loose with them, but the one way slip clutch never have to get past...

    Torque wrench input

    I vote for the Protos. One shop that I worked in had wrenches from many manufactures and the Protos had the best success rate of passing the annual calibration tests. Also, the ratchet head had far fewer repairs. Like Jrboulder said above, on sale you could do it for $300. I got all of mine...

    Short Dill Bit Set

    Those are crazy tool truck prices. Look for screw machine drills at any machine shop supply house. I have been using KBC Tools lately. Full set by 16ths 1/16 to 1/2 for $45. http://www.kbctools.com/products/CUTTING%20TOOLS/DRILLS/STUB%20DRILLS/STUB%20DRILL%20SETS/3008.aspx

    Rear Sway Bar Build

    2" drop Astro spindles, I guess that is why I did not recognize them. I haven't thought much about suspension design in several years, your photos have me dreaming about Ackerman and roll centers. Keep up the good work and keep the photos coming.

    Welder

    The Hobart 210MVP has worked great for me for 2 years. I have run .023 and .035 wire in it, gas and flux core and all have worked very well. One thing that I have found better than expected is it has a very sharp startup arc (that is the best way I can describe it). Say you are trying to weld...

    mud & laundry room shelf - critique

    I 2nd the Kreg pocket jig. I don't work with wood much either, but my wife has one of the Kreg tools and the strength of the joints are great and they look good as well.

    Fitted copper soft jaws

    Royce, I just wanted to confirm, did you solder up the sides where everything overlapped to keep them in the correct shape? I have some leftover .125" copper sheet. I am thinking about a similar project. Nice work!
