I welded the whole thing together, base and top to the tube. I then mounted the three feet onto hockey pucks. It's pretty good now, I bolted my porter cable belt sander to it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone. I'll end up getting the Arcan, as it's apparently the same thing, but $110 less. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My Bluepoint lightweight racing jack can't support my heavy FJ, and is leaking down. Time for an upgrade. My Snap-on man claims he's sold a ton of these at $299, and is getting good reports back. Of course he says that about everything he sells. Does anyone have any experience with these...

My wife called me earlier from the Thrift store in town, where she was looking for a teacup. "They have a big vise here, you should check it out". Fast forward - I'm now the owner of a Prentiss Bull Dog No.56. Took the paint stripper to it and got all the ugly coats off. Here's what I got...

Sorry to bring the old thread back alive - My wife just found a type 56 at the thrift store. Picked it up for $45! Pics to follow

Beautiful stuff guys. I just picked up my used Lincoln 110V welder, and am getting set up. Already had to make some tools for my "Euro Rat" to get the suspension and steering rebuilt.

I had my oil drain pan overflow in the middle of my driveway under my lowered BMW. Being it's so low, I couldn't get to it quick enough, and the spill was impressive... Poured kitty litter on it, left it for a few days, and it's completely gone...
