    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Hey guys. I realize there’s a conversational flow going on here. I just wanted to stop in and say hi. I FINALLY got a chance to work on my Columbian today. I’ve had it over a year and it’s just sat. At first I took a weak HF pneumatic die grinder to with with a small wire wheel. Eeeeh...

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Well I can't compete with visezilla above but I'm finally beginning to get my new to me, USA made Columbian back into shape. It's a model 044-M3. DOM is unknown. Maybe you guys know? It has not been abused except that it was left outside for a year or so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The One Piece at a Time Shop

    I just stumbled across this thread. Very cool! I know nothing about pulling trucks but I'm looking forward to learning. Love the shop and property. That part of Maryland is pretty nice. I grew up in NoVA and often made trips up to northern MD to fish for striper and bluefish. Sent from my...

    Made a stop at Advanced Auto Parts today to dump some used oil and picked these up. The Lisle plastic fastener remover will be helpful for my buddies Subaru. I'll tell y'all what. That little Stanley 10-049 is really handy around the shop. I got it off Amazon. I don't recall the price but it...

    2-story carriage house to auto hobby shop

    That exposed brick is so classy. Downtown Lynchhurg is almost all made up of very old (turn of the century) textile mills. All of these buildings have huge timbers, massive threaded rods and very cool hardware. The crazy thing is all they are needing to do with most of these is clean them up...

    I just picked this up off of CL for $40. Super sturdy. I've been looking for a rolling stand to put my cheapo drill press on. Will post pics of it when it's mounted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2-story carriage house to auto hobby shop

    Very cool space! I grew up in Fairfax and alway thought it would be so cool to live in Old Town Alexandria or Georgetown. Ride my bike or motorcycle everywhere. I really miss NoVA. I probably missed it, when was it built? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    School me on MIG welding

    So I know nothing of welding but two things. 1. How to spell it. 2. It makes metal stick to metal. A friend has lent me his Miller 140 Auto-Set, a roll of HB-28 .030/8mm Solid Wire and a partial tank of mixed gas. I'd like to take on some small projects to get a feel for how this whole thing...

    These arrived at our site from a factory that closed down in New Jersey. A lot of it is used up but so much more has never seen a machine or a piece of material. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
