    Looking for ID help on machinist's toolchest

    OfI acquired this old machinist's toolchest, it was my father in law's and possibly his father's. I am going to restore it, an was hoping that someone might recognize the manufacturer. No markings that I can see. The only feature that stands out is the drawer bottoms being metal. Ring any...

    Grease Guns

    Pneumatic Tool Idea

    I have both an SCBA tank to run with an air impact, and a 19.2 craftsman 1/2" impact (often on sale for $99). For going to a junk yard, I would take the electric. For other adventures, where air could be handy (filling tires, etc.) it's the tank.

    '95 Land Rover Defender

    Yup. One of the few vehicles that sells for up to and over the MSRP from 15 years ago. I have had serious cash in hand offers within a few thousand of my asking price. You can easily find them available down into the teens, but for this mileage, and this condition I fully expect to get my...

    '95 Land Rover Defender

    I will add a shower (nice one that has hot water from the engine), and throw in an old jobox to go in the back. But that costs extra... :)

    '95 Land Rover Defender

    Hey man, I re-financed my house to get the $$ to buy this truck 5 yrs ago. It all comes down to what your priorities are. I hate having to sell it, but my priorities have changed.

    Odd link.

    When I have a new private message, there is a little flashing envelope next to the private message link in the upper left of the page. I clicked this to bring me to my message box, as I can in other forums, but the link brought me to the Jalopy Journal. Might want to look into that.:thumbup:
