I bought a series of VHS tapes on aircraft from WWII probably 15 years ago. Never got around to watching it (haven't had a VCR hooked up in the house for a long time). Finally got to them- in the shop. Can't wait til football season....won't have to be home to catch the MI games. Don't...

Nice.

Love this kinda stuff! Good job!

I have an older model I bought a few months ago (older model, but unused/new) for $60. Was able to sharpen the first try. Really love it, as it not only saves on bits, but also trips to the store.

Welcome from Union County!

That's awesome!

Don't buy a cheap, low HP grinder. I bought one and it didn't have enough power to sharpen a lawn mower blade.

More re-purposed stuff......bought a bunch of these metal pieces at auction for $20. Included were the triangular pieces, round and square tubes, threaded on each end, and flat pieces (used these for the shelf on the rolling table): With all the unused upper space in the building, I wanted...

Damn, I answered this over the weekend, so what the help happened to my repsonse?? Grrrr.... They say to assemble the sections on the ground then lift them into place. It might work for the smaller widths, like 20', but not with my 30'. These things are like rubber bands on their own. I...

Here is one of the rolling tables derived from the test bench: And here is the front of the shop currently. I want to reduce the "ugliness" somewhat, but not sure what I'm going to do. Painting the walk-through door is obvious, but I'm also thinking about painting the rest. White to match...

Actually, the steps are just fine, I've never come close to losing grip, even while my feet were wet.

Thanks! I don't have anything for the overall, but I'll post some more later, and you can get a feel for the overall by piecing them together.

I'm very glad they are 33% lighter than alkaline batteries.... I wouldn't be able to heft my camera around if I didn't have this "light" battery option! <--sarcasm Sorry, that made me laugh, and if that's one of the best positives they have about using these batteries, it makes me...

Not now, because I haven't gotten my final inspection.....afterwards....hmmmm....maybe so! As a matter of fact, I have several plans that I can't put into play until I know the inspector won't be showing up anymore. :thumbup: You're right, they are a seriously inefficient use of space. When...

I'm all about re-purposing stuff, so I had 6 of these old electrical test benches which I turned into various things in the shop. First, they were the framework for the front workbench (approx. 25' of bench). The wood (not including 2x4's) was purchased from a mfg. of wood products. It...
