    tuff shed

    Sorry, never heard of them. I googled for them and saw there are a lot of options. Where I am, there are tons of local folks who custom build and drop on your site. Not much help, Regards, Joe

    Does anyone else not like racheting wrenches?

    I love my ratcheting wrenches. I changed the brake backing plates on my Airstream. The first one took 3 hours to take off and put on. Hated that. I bought a set of Craftsman RW's and it took an hour to do the other 3. Sometimes, there is nothing like them.

    what to do with it

    Find a kid that run in some local sat race. I'm sure they could use it and it would help them a lot.

    Need some advice on cleaning up a drill press

    I noticed the gear strip bending also. I have not drilled anything yet but I can't stop the chuck with my hand. Do not see any wobble so maybe it is straight. I only have $10. in it. I hope it will do what I need, which is not much. If it does not work, I'll let someone else fix it. Thanks, Joe

    Good floor-prep tool, for pressure washers

    I would love to see the pic's. What PSI is your pressure washer? I have a lot of sidewalk, porch and driveway. It takes me forever to do the back & forth method! Sure looks nice when it is clean. Thanks, Joe

    Need some advice on cleaning up a drill press

    I am going to watch this thread closely. I just picked this up over the weekend and would like to clean it up and maybe paint it. I took my pressure washer to it and blasted off a lot of the grim. It has a lot of rust on. Thanks for posting. Hope you'll keep updating us. Regards, Joe

    I agree with Aceman. Let a pro do it. I hired an electrician to wire my shop and I am glad I did. Regards, Joe

    Garage sale haul

    Garage sale haul crazy good day! Every since I built my shop I have been looking for variable speed floor drill press. Also, since my drive way is over 400 ft, I wanted something more that the hand held blowers to keep it clean. I hit the jack pot today out at garage sales and now have both. I...

    Is it worth it to repair/rebuild bottle jacks?

    Husky 12 ton bottle jack ram will not stay down I bought this jack last weekend from home depot to jack my Travel trailer. It worked fine getting it up, but once I released it, it went down but would not go all the way. I can push it down, but it will creep back up about 3 inches. Anyone know a...

    Opinions on the vise - quick!!!

    Bummer about the vise. But when I take my wife to Napa, it takes 2 airline tickets to fly 3000 miles, a car rental, wine tours and I get a headache. Buy way to much really good wine. Sure would be nice to get out of this Florida humidity for a while. Have a good one, Joe
