    Charles Parker 954...

    I just picked up a Parker that's got 4 1/4" jaws but not quite as nice as that one for $50 from an estate sale...so I'd say it's pretty fair!

    Picked up some Lithonia TH400M High Bay's today...

    So on a whim, I snatched up some of these Lithonia Low Bays (not High, my error) for $40ea with working 400w bulbs figuring they were a pretty good deal. Thought maybe they'd be good for my garage. Anyone have any input on High Bay's in a residential garage w/ 10 ceiling? These will hang down...

    Craig's List Shop Cabinets Installation Complete

    Cool! I scored a bunch of used kitchen cabinets on Craigslist too...gonna paint them flat black. Got some lowers too...yours look like I want mine to look! Like the door pull's too. How did you build your base mounts? Or is it just part of the cabinets? They look like "Handi-Cap" style...

    Scored a solid core wood door...how to mount?

    Thanks Bryan & Jack! Love the finishes on your benches. Bryan - That bench top supports that big Prentiss just fine eh..? Jack - 2 questions... How did you install that steel band? Did you just cut it to fit? Those look like rivets on the side? Also - Is that mat on top inlaid? Looks flush...

    Scored a solid core wood door...how to mount?

    Thanks guys..all great ideas! Jack I like your mounting ideas w/ wood screws. I may try that, and no, not concerned about cosmetics. This is going to be my bench for breaking-loose/pounding/persuading various automotive and mechanical components etc. As well as a spot to mount a good vise to...

    Scored a solid core wood door...how to mount?

    Thanks guys! Smedly...I was actually thinking about how I could securely mount it, yet leave as much room underneath as possible without obstruction from crossbracing/legs etc.. I was thinking about building a perimeter "frame" w/ 2x4's lag bolted into the studs through the drywall, then...

    Gladiator Pro Series

    They are all stupid expensive (IMO)...some just more than others. :shocking: (Sticker shock) everytime I check them out at Sears...especially when I consider what they'll be used for in the garage.

    Craftsman Snowblower raised from ashes

    Nice Job..!!! Love it...what's the black paint? Looks "textured" or something like a wrinkle finish. Cool! Here's a few of the oldies I've bought/used/fixed then sold etc... My favorite is the BobcaT - Bought for $150 and it was the Mac Truck of them all. Only a 520 (5hp, 20") but no nonsense...
