That seems like the best option, I think. Maybe one of the Rubbermaid toolboxes might be a good starting point I had to look up a chicken tractor! Great idea, but our garden is pretty tiny at 8ft x 25ft. I'm having a hard time convincing my wife to let me build her a small shed for the purpose...

Space is at a premium in the garage, so vertical storage is better than horizontal. A wagon would be much more in the way Thanks Lee Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Hi all, Apologies if this has been covered, but my searches haven't found anything. My wife likes to garden, and keeps some of her gardening stuff and the kids garden toys etc in a few bags and boxes in the garage. I'd like to organize it so that she can just roll the whole shebang out to the...

Couldn't post pictures in the first post for some reason. Here they are: Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

Rong-Fu RF-30 milling machine for sale. This is a genuine Rong-Fu, made in Taiwan before they switched production to China. The X/Y handwheels are cast iron. Excellent condition, no known issues. Very clean machine with minimal wear. The flaking is still visible on the ways. It is currently...

Great, that's what i wanted to know. Thanks guys Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

Does anyone else use the standard/original gun on this cabinet, and can comment on whether the continuous leak is normal? I understand the gun is not very good, but I'd like to figure out if it has an additional problem on top of general crustiness. Thanks! Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

I noticed that when i opened the cabinet, i hear air leaking from the bottom of the gun. I checked where the hose attaches, and no leaks there. The leak seems to be coming from the open housing at the **** of the gun's handle. I'm guessing that's not supposed to leak like that? In which...

Hi everyone, I picked up a used harbor freight 40lb blast cabinet, and have started playing around with it. I have some new coal slag media in the bottom, and am using the original gun that came with the cabinet. Hooked up to my 20gal 4hp compressor until i get my electrical redone so i can...

Photos.. they don't really illustrate the problem, but the thread feels incomplete without at least a couple of pics :-) Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

Hi all, I recently cleaned up, repainted and re-greased a 70s wilton c2 combo vise, and now that everything's back together, I've noticed there's a fair bit of slop in the moveable jaw. I machined a .030 spacer to fit behind the screw cover plate, which took up the axial slop on the screw...

Would threading it on with loctite be stronger than plug welding? Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

I could bore through the stub, and plug weld the top... Thanks for the 4140 suggestion, I've used that a couple times and it turns nicer than 1018. Thanks Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. Doug, that clamp block looks just the ticket, thanks for that. I realize it's not the manufacturers way, and ideally I'd like to turn the piece from a single length of 1" stock, but I'm lacking a steady rest/follow rest for the lathe so this is "next best". The piece is for a...

Doug: I'll be reaming and/boring the stub part on the lathe, so I can create however much interference I need. I figured no matter what type of clamp or vise I use on the shaft, it's unlikely to resist the press without marring the shaft... If anyone has a picture of a similar setup, that...
