Thanks everyone for the positive feed back! Loganb - No real plans yet. Right now its doing a good job being my lumber yard from all the scraps left over from house projects. I did get a vent fan to be able to force the hot air out but it's not a priority right now. Don't really have the time...

Nice job! Those tables look great!

During this time, All the other machinery and work tops were finding a place to settle. I salvaged a Lab table from the trash next to my work. Sanded top and a urethane coat and it was good to go. Few months into the pandemic, my local sears was closing down and I was able to get a watchmakers...

The back of the shelf rested on the concrete lip and the front has peg legs added to compensate for the height difference. Living in california means all the shelves were mounted to the wall securely. I had been keeping an eye out for a flat file cabinet to use as a tool chest and found a...

No Pictures of the wiring process but I can safely say that I went from two outlets to ~40 outlets. Each line with GFCI outlets to make sure everythings in compliance. 10 of the outlets were for the lights. I didn’t want to hardwire the lights so I installed outlet boxes near the top of the...

It's the beginning of the year and I think it’s about time that I contribute rather than just lurk around in the forums. I will forewarn that this will be most likely lengthy and pictures will be sparse as I didn’t document everything as much as I would have liked. Hope that there’s a piece here...

I've been holding off any hunts until I got my garage built up enough so my "storage" wasn't a pile in the center of the garage (Finally have a garage and installing drywall!) but with an estate sale 2 blocks away I couldn't help myself! Ended up with a small pile: 2 - 5" c clamps (missing...

Recently got a house with a detached 20x20 garage that I'm turning into a prototype/manufacturing work shop. I've finally finished enough projects in the house that I can start working on the garage. I'm in South bay area of Los Angeles so lots of sun with the garage seeing some part of it at...

That's a beautiful piece, quite jealous actually lol. I think for $10 that's definitely a "You ****" in my book!

Oh man that digital (digital being the easy readout) depth gauge would be something I could definitely use for my senior design project but I would feel bad asking for it considering I have non-digital fowler depth gauge already..... Edit: Digital Depth Micrometer not gauge. For precision...

yup, your right SuperCat I messed up the spelling :P the craftsman seems like the right one to keep an eye out for but seem to have a more inflated price now, at least around my area of California. currently going around $90 to $130.

I've tried looking through the forums to see if this has already been done, since I had no luck new thread it is! For the financially impaired/old tool connoisseur/collector/works till "I" die person, What brands or companies should you keep an eye out for regarding old bench grinders? The likes...

You can also get a free fraction/tap chart from starrett: http://www.starrett.com/documentation Need to make an account but I got all their promo stuff (chart, cards, etc) and it is nice to have on hand especially when having to convert fraction to decimal.

This is a week and a half late posting but finally got around to it. Was heading back home in the rain when I got the tool hunting itch after a very long break, So I went to a pawn shop that I’ve had mixed results in, nothing of interest there. Decided to hit the other pawn shop a block down by...

huh,didn't know such a thing existed. How well does it hold?
