    Ifirefights random shop projects

    A little something for the wife. Fun,simple project. The kit was bought on line. Comes pre cut, you just weld it on a 3/16 rod (not included or the base) and heat and bend each piece to resemble a rose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Craftsman Block Grinder Colors

    Going to restore my 3 Blocks. Anyone have a paint they are partial to? Otherwise, I’ll just take the grinder with me to HD or Lowe’s and see what’s close. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Making some drawer rolling tool cabinets

    As a former cabinet maker at a high end shop, I applaud you. Very nicely done. You are a true craftsman. Those will last many lifetimes. You should put your makers mark and date manufactured on those. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I did consider that, but was wondering if my local locksmith could match the proper key blanks from the 70s? I paid 17$ and change for 2 keys ...not sure if that’s good or not? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Static “shock” from 1x30 bench grinder

    It’s a cheap HF one, not sure if the wheels are plastic or rubber...would steel wheels fix the problem (or even work on that type machine)??? If so, I have a lathe and can probably whip some wheels up no problem...would steel or aluminum wheels be better? Thanks for all the replies! Sent from...

    Any way to eliminate being shocked every few minutes from my 1x30 belt grinder.The plug is grounded, I ran an external ground also from the machine. I’m grinding metal on it. I’m in South Florida so humidity might make it worse. I’m even wearing gloves. Any help is appreciated. Sent from my...
