Found this vise for $5, BenHur AA-12 probably not very good, but works will probably use it on welding table that way I wont feel bad about putting a nice one there. Vise Vise And traded a rifle scope I got at Goodwill for $8 that I don't need for a bunch of tools I can use as loaners or a tool...

I've had pretty good luck with hand wire brushing, wire wool and sanding before coating, but could put them in the blaster. Think I'll try out-gassing and use these pieces as experiments to show the difference between good, bad and no prep work. I've wanted to build a media tumbler and...

Absolutely, it wont be my first coating job, but I've quickly learned, the prep is the hard work and means everything for a good finish. I haven't tried out-gassing yet, but will give it a shot after cleaning them up. One of my attempts at a white coat came out pretty bad when grease in the...

Already used it a couple of times, the air hose alone was worth $10 in my book. Operates my powder coat gun and goes along nicely with the 20 gallon air compressor I picked up for $20 http://garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4060534&postcount=3715

If you don't mind me asking, how much are they new, what do they usually run used? What's your experience with it? Works fine for my usage so far. I have a regulator from a broken HF compressor that is on my fish tank CO2 that works fine. Was thinking of doing a similar setup with the second...

$5, that makes my used tool box $5 less. I thought it would be a cool set to throw in the back of a jeep or something.I figure wire brush or electrolysis will clean them up nicely. I'll think of it as "quick release" Good to know!

I picked this up for $20 Works great, regulator is a bit leaky but holds compression, and doesn't leak at 90psi or at low psi's. It's super quiet compared to friends larger tanks, delivers pretty good cfm for the size too. Was happy to see parts are available for it, but for $20! Only issues...

A family member made a tablet at Sears, not interested in the rewards I gave my member # to use to get the points. Turns out, there were bonus points rewarded since the tablet was on sale and they can't advertise below MAP. So I got $44 in points. I was shopping online to see what to get with my...

Cool, yea they're usable, looked like they've seen a fair share of usage. Guess they're not valuable until you need them.

Thanks! I'll clean them up and put them back in the box. Maybe give them as loaners or trade for something. I just got a powder coat setup, so might be a good experimental candidates for coating.

I brought a tool box and this set came with it: I thought they were interesting. Does anyone know anything about these? They don't appear to have any brand. It may be a partial set, or mix-n-matched. Set includes metric 12point sockets and four S.A.E 12-points with 6 - 6 point sockets. One...

I wasn't looking for this really until now, my keypads always been broken / disconnected anyway. Question is, do you guys feel safe with these? I'd be cautious of plugging anything online that can open my doors. If the company of the door opener was breached and an address was listed, some one...

It is tough, I saw a piece in the road for a week before it deteriorated. The only annoying thing about it might be the slots. I use a piece on the back of my bench to hold storage bins in the grooved lip - Just an idea.

Thanks, I've been documenting the process. Working on it piece by piece. I'll start a new garage gallery thread shortly and link from here and in my signature. Should be somewhat fun and challenging!

Thanks, a bit confused where I should post my "progress" thread. Any suggestions? Oh, I also live in NC, forgot to put that.
