    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Almost finished with my Fulton 1825. I had to add a jaw and a spacer. Still want to clean up the faces a bit. I think it turned out good for the sad condition it was in. I appreciate the guidance offered here :) IMG_4217 by Lynn, on Flickr IMG_4366 by Lynn, on FlickrIMG_4359 by Lynn, on...

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    I've been considering a small vise to help me in my Coleman lantern refurb hobby. Today I remembered I had one stashed away. Fulton model 1825, 2.5". I've had this probably 40 years, can't remember where or how I acquired it. I'm sure I can refurb this vise with some basic guidance, since I've...

    Plan B garage

    Plan A garage was to be a 28x36 pole building, metal sides/roof & concrete floor, to be built on the lot at our cabin (future home). As the excavator began to dig to level the site, he encountered the septic drain field, and could dig no more :( After discussing the situation with the...

    New life for an older Maglite

    I've purchased a few LED conversions for Maglites. The best I've found are for TerraLux, and not too expensive. I'm very happy with the 2-AA and 2-D units I've purchased. Huge improvement in output and battery life. (On the D-cell units, be sure to replace the plastic lens with actual glass...
