Just picked up one of these 72" Tactix boxes from my local Murdoch's. Was able to get it for the sale price - $1199.99. Very good box for the money. Has 20 drawers and holds 51,000+ cubic inches of storage (which is more than a similar 72" versions from Extreme, Montezuma, Tool Vault, HF...

Scramblur, Do you know what kindof CFM this thing moves? Thanks Brett

I put my Champion 80 gallon upright in my shed. Shed is 40 ft off the back of the garage. I ran power to the shed and using the same trench I laid a 2 1/2" conduit to run my supply. I ran 3/4" pex-al-pex from the shed to the back of the garage through the conduit. Inside the garage, I ran...

I picked up this table w/ vise for $50. I couldn't tell what the vise was b/c it had a thick coat of paint covering the markings. Turns out the vise is a Parker model 49x. I disassembled the entire vise and media blasted it. I'm currently cleaning it up and putting it back into service. If...

Great! Thanks for the links. I'll check out some info on the sites. Seems to be a pretty durable DP and still quite popular and sought after. I guess I got lucky at the auction when I scored it. Got it for $180. Looks like there are some companies that sell obsolete parts for these, and...

Anyone have any information about these drill presses? Powermatic 1150. I just bought one at an auction a couple weeks ago to replace my bench top model. I "think" this is a 1967 model based on the serial number. Just looking for some information on them if anyone has it. I need a few parts...

Robert, I'm really offering advice here for other GJ members. Rather than focusing on my previous misfortune and knocking the body guy look at the design of the jigs. I think you have failed to read the simple engineering explanation I gave behind the different designs in the previous post...

I do not have pictures of the car on the rotisserie. This was almost 20 years ago, before digital cameras. The film I had of the car at this phase was stolen. I had at least 10 rolls of film. Gave them to my mother to drop off to be be processed, her purse was stolen and never found. I...

Honestly don't know. It was almost 20 years ago. It was owned by the guy that did the body and paint on my car.

No comission here :) Just purchased and received a great product that has never left me down and has performed very well for the past several years I've owned it. (How often does that happen these days?) It's been used on several car projects from media blasting to complete structural rust...

I didn't build my own, but I did buy a Whirly Jig several years ago. www.whirlyjig.com At the time I coudn't source the materials and justify the time spending building it for the price I paid. The thing has worked flawless. Have done several cars on it. It's paid for itself several times...

Plan your air compressor and air lines ahead of time. If you are going to finish the walls, there are a lot of new products on the market that you could run the air lines in the studs. Makes for a very clean install. This is one of the things that I wish I would have planned for this in my...

Did you convert this saw to be a metal saw? I'm looking at nearly the exact saw locally, but trying to determine how to slow it down for metal. Brett

Hole dug for casions and foundation wall.

Few more demo pics I dug up.
