Does anyone have any idea where parts could be located for the Versa-Vise? I have an old one that my dad had on his work bench for years and I need to replace the threaded spindle that operates it. (sorry, don't know the correct term) I uh, MAY have :o held something in it a couple of years ago...

Thomas and all, here is a link to live streaming video the museum has made available so everyone can check in from time to time and see the removal of the soon to be restored Corvettes. Haven't noticed much action the couple of times I looked today. Local news here said a couple that had donated...

Mark, I know you have a lot on your plate right now (as if there is ever a time you don't), but just in case you felt a shift in the universe very early this morning, I thought you may want to know what caused it...

Congrats Thomas on making the front page again with your jack stand storage unit! That is the second time, right?

Thomas, I don't have an exact percentage in mind, but will say in my 15 years in the fire service, the number of garage fires either attached or detached is quite low compared to something like electrical fires in the main body of the house. I do recall one especially bad attached garage fire...

Good call on square bales for equine sales Thomas! Alfalfa can be very high in protein - even up to 50 to 100% greater than the typical daily requirement for even highly active horses. Most in the equine industry only use square bales because it is easier to split off a thin "slab" and give it...

Thomas, I just finished reading this great story on another forum I frequent and as I read it, I immediately thought of all the folks that frequent this thread as well as your beautiful Corvette. I hope you don't mind my sharing it here. It is a story about a small Midwestern Chevrolet...

Now that Jack has made me feel totally inadequate with that incredible project, I'm not sure I should even add this latest project....:headshake: I finally got around to making a new stubby front bumper for the Heep so I can finally put the winch I bought last year to use. I wanted to keep as...

I love arbor vitae and try to use them whenever I can. They are a pretty tough evergreen. However, they are BAG WORM MAGNETS. I spend quite a bit of time fighting those little buggers. Evidently, the foliage of the arbor vitae is the bag worm's version of a prime medium-rare filet with bleu...

Thanks for the tip Mr. Tee! We have 4 acres of timber on our property, I'll have to head out and round up a bag of acorns to give it a try. That is if the deer haven't finished them off yet! :D Very interesting information on the blacksmith vise. I've seen one before, but never knew the...

Re: garage refurb I ***** to lose good neighbors. Especially those with a lifetime of stories and experience to share out on the front porch in the early evening.

Re: garage refurb :eyecrazy: $12.50 for a Drill Doctor!?! Congrats on a great grab Eric! I NEVER fall into deals like that. I did get a Lincoln ProMig 140 for $250 new from a pawn shop, but I can't take credit for the find. I had asked a buddy who makes weekly rounds at all the shops for tools...

Kevin, I can confirm the myth BUSTED on hedge apples keeping spiders away. Mice - no idea on that one... :dunno:

See, Chris knew exactly what I was talking about! :lol: Sorry for the confusion, I make my living dealing with terminology like that. Sometimes the geek just slips out... :D

:spit: I wondered what kind of response that would get! :lol: Admitted chemistry geek here....:hellobye:
