Check out what this guys used.

Does anyone know about this craftsman sander? It looks like the older ones form the 40's but this looks newer. I have been looking for an older on to restore. I have never seen one like this on this type of stand. It's listed for 50 bucks and only has this one picture. Thoughts?

So the only thing I would consider fixing at this point is repainting the protective glass surroundings. They are chipped a little bit on the right one. Other than that the thing looks like it was only used a few times. I am amazed at how brand new it looks. If I was to strip them and repaint...

I been looking locally for a CM block grinder to restore with very little luck. If something did come up it would get snatched up very quickly. Yesterday I was able to find this gem off a local classified site for $100. It was a little more than I wanted to spend but I figured that I would spend...

Anyone know what this exactly is and what it was used for? It uses a pin end type coping saw blade but all the coping saw blades I have are an inch too long. The only marking reads "National Jackson MI USA". Thanks, mhardy

I would agree there are some nicer features to the 56 inch HF box and in general I think many things about it are nicer. Here are my thoughts: 1.The slides were a bit rough at first but after several uses they seem normal and fine with out any further greasing. They were very catchy the first...

Pioneer Research Epoxy...Help Needed! I was just about to paint my garage floor with RO industrial grade epoxy when some unknown epoxy fell into my lap free. My wife works as a property manager at a large high rise office building. She tells me one day that they have a whole bunch of epoxy that...

I like the 2x4 idea, I think it will work. Thanks

I will be applying epoxy to my garage floor soon. This is my question: I live in a very windy area and I am trying to figure out how I am going to paint this with the garage door open. I was thinking I would mask a line that is under where my garage door lands and then paint up to it. Won't I...

Ok. I am looking at putting epoxy on my garage floor. It's aprox 700 sq feet and 3 years old. This is what I am thinking of doing. First, acid eching the whole thing several times to make sure I have got it good. Second putting down two coats of the Rustoluem epoxy sheild that is the solvent...
