I’m peanut butter jealous! This thing is epic, nice work! Bonus points if you get pictures lifting a car. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got a killer deal on two block grinders. Posted at $15 each. I offered $25 each to hold for pick up the next day. The 1/2 hp commercial model runs but needs a manual wheel kick start. Likely the stator capacitor. I’ve started the tear down for a restore. The 3/4 hp runs great but I’ll take it...

That knob is sweet! Are you willing to share the file so my buddy can print me one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: BEFORE & AFTER....A Tool Polisher's Haven Thanks! Ordered an old variac off eBay to test out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pretty excited to put this old vintage Milwaukee grinder to use. It was in rough shape and used by an elevator company. It started its life as a handheld unit. Too heavy to use effectively in my shop so I converted it to a stationary unit. I added a vintage flex shaft and custom wired a...

I use the Atlas drill press every week. It’s my favorite tool in the shop. The tools on the wall are projects I’ve disassembled, sanded, polished, and rewired. Mostly for looking, but I do periodically use a few of them. They clean up easy with a quick wipe down with metal polish before I...

I’ve got a lot of experience vacuuming up saw dust, pvc dust, and metal shavings. I don’t see much heavy mud or sand. For the most part it looks pretty clean when dirty. I’ll usually vacuum the floor after a big project and it pulls everything up easily. Occasionally, I’ll get something...

BEFORE & AFTER....A Tool Polisher's Haven Grinder conversion is complete. I can convert back to original use in under and hour if ever needed. Should get plenty of use in this configuration. Has anyone used one of these grinder wheel flex adapters before? It looks like you can add oil...

Decided it was time to finish the garage floor. I had half the garage covered in racedeck freeflow for most of 2018. I enjoyed the durability and look so decided to expand. If you’re on a budget racedeck is a good option as you can install in sections and expand over time. I...

Great build! I’m looking for another old drill press and plan on making a similar motor / controller combo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That frame is wicked! Also like the tape dispenser and stapler. I may keep my eye peeled for these now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finished the grinder with the exception of the shield that’s made from steel. I’ll likely powder coat that piece in the future. I decided to put this tool to work so I’m mocking up a few ways to utilize it with a vintage grinder wand. I painted the fan and you can see the reflection...

Well design phase 1.0 is complete. I’m hoping to have time to finish the bottom and top extension for larger parts by the end of January. Additionally, I’m going to create a perforated baffle to place in front of the filter. Hoping it will increase their life span. I used the booth to paint...

A few in-process pics from this afternoon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, the bearings all have the numbers stamped but I have little patience for deciding. I’ve tried several times with online catalogs and it’s like doing a crossword puzzle. I think I found what I needed based on dimensions. Stay tuned.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
