Thanks! I ordered one of those bolts, it’s bigger, 3/8 or so. I’ll get on one of those oil plugs tho, looks close.

Any ideas on manufacture date for this old Type 11? It was my (great?) grandfather's, and has made it to me. Doubt it is worth anything monetary, but it has a lot of sentimental value. Both prior owners were carpenters by trade and now I'm using it to renovate some rentals. It's a reminder of...

Re: Sticker/Swag swap 2019 Heck, put me on the list. Got a few things laying around.

I have an everlast power arc 140 that blew a cap under warranty. Have a new board for it on the way. May sell it, but it’s a handy little guy at like 15lbs. Probably keep it for whatever reason. Going to look at an AC/DC Miller Dialarc tomorrow. Learned to stick weld on one, so I have a soft...

I just received the 41” Homak Pro II bought from northern tool on sale. It is perfect for my home shop and absolutely an upgrade over the box store stuff. Love the grip latches.

This belonged to my great grandfather. Brought it out and disassembled and started knocking to rust off. Want to put a coating of some kind on it and couldn’t find any marks of any kind that I might obscure. Honestly almost looks handmade. Any guesses on vintage?

The tapered, wide handle on a proto 18 is my favorite. I’ll have to try and get a pic.

Literally went to the shop to polish my tool(s) Finally splurged on a nice cabinet, and have been rescuing my sets of sockets from the depths of old tool bags and coffee cans. Put and adapter in the drill then went to town with some mother’s to get all the grime off. Now to fill in the gaps and...

I have done a lot with a simple table saw and a Kreg jig. If you want to build it you’ll figure it out, and waste a lot of material along the way. But it may not be as ornate as something you can buy. Luckily, my wife is into the “modern farmhouse” thing, which lends itself to strong lines and...

For all it’s worth, I scraping up the cash to get a nice box for the homestead. I’m torn between a used snapper around 1500 or a new homak rs pro 72. I think the plus for the snap on is retained value if I want to get rid of it.
