Out West here unfortunately people walk out of HD and Lowes with tools everyday so i'm certain a good portion are stolen especially if they seem to be a good deal.

Going back in time about a year and a half I had an idea to build a bed set that happened to match a safe I bought that I was using as night stand. Here is my sketch with rough dimensions I took from a standard queen size mattress (more on that later) to get an idea of what I wanted to...

Hello GJ, long time reader and always thought about posting my garage but never got around to it. So now technically I’m on my fourth garage and first one I can truly call my own so I figured it was time to start documenting my projects. I’m going to start with my current one, just purchased my...

I've done it before making holsters. If pieces allow size wise I find it best to heat on a $20 pancake griddle at about 300 degrees and when it ends up like a wet noodle consistency its ready to form in a press. I have a simple wooden hinge device made that has two pieces of foam in the middle...

Got a little more disassembly done and found out its a Sambre Meuse 62 (8 or B). It has 8" wide jaws so it might be an 8.Few old posts on here about them, seems to be little information on them in general. All of them i've come across are smaller than mine. I'll keep ya posted, I plan to do a...

Got this Vise last night for $40! There is no brand cast into it anywhere other than the letter "A" in several places. I plan on cleaning this up and repainting. It has a silver/gray machine paint on it underneath. Anyone have any insight on what it is? I like the offset 8" width jaws. Ed's...

Larry anyway you can repost pictures of this, I loved it when you did it and wanted to create something similar for my Brother for Christmas.

Just did post mount receptacles the other day on a Wasterwater mechanical room. They did some backasswards building with the metal on the inside instead of drywall but you get the idea. https://www.flickr.com/photos/132495462@N03/shares/j449i5

Looking at purchasing this vice, however I know its not worth $600. He says its only 150-175 lbs, I could offer him $200. That also follows the $25/inch of jaw width. Looks to be in good shape, I think it'll lasts more lifetimes if taken care of.

When I was learning to weld I had a few things done at a small fab shop and got to know them. I went back and asked if I could rummage through there scrap bins for practice metal and then bring it back and throw it in the bin when done. They said sure no problem.

I've used http://www.castercity.com with good luck and great product. However the last thread on here had several websites that all seemed worthy of my money.

There is a scene in the football betting movie "Two for the Money" with a cool rotating Tv stand from one room to another. If I remember it had a simple frame around it mounted on a swivel support top and bottom in the middle.

In commercial construction HM frames are grouted with structolite its like a gypsum/plaster product. However it is poured in before they are set. In your case spray in foam or insulation may be the best.
