    Craftsman Ratcheting Screwdriver similar to Snap On?

    Yep. I have one and it is decent for $20 or less. I have 3 Snap On hard handle ratcheting screwdrivers plus a mini version. They're far superior, and perhaps the best tool I own. The ergonomics and action are "just right" and I cannot imagine any improvements that would make them better. I...

    Building/Equipping/Organizing a Hypothetical 2 Car Garage

    You might start browsing Zillow from over there to look at candidate homes now, and get a feel for what is on the market. FWIW, I bought a house here 3 years ago in an old neighborhood with charm and character. House was built in 1925, but fortunately the garage is more modern... I'm...

    Picked up an old Alemite Workbench

    Beautiful! I'd love to have one in my hangar someday. Thanks for posting and passing it along to a new home where it will shine.

    Structural Insulated Panels or Std 2x6 construction?

    I've watched a couple of TV shows showcasing SIPs and other engineered homes, and it appears to me that there is no practical way to run future/after-thought electrical/plumbing without major surgery. I think the best plan is to carefully plan what you're going to build in the first place, but...

    Lyon Butcher Block workbench, worth it?

    How thick is it? >2" and I'd say it is a good deal. I paid $100 for a similar size bowling alley lane, but then had several hours in cutting it and another $100+ getting it sanded by a mill with a big drum sander.

    Cut/grind an angle into the bottom, and put a clock element into the face for a desktop paperweight clock.

    Gladiator wall mount brackets for cabinets

    I picked up a few of these a couple years ago on clearance from Lowes for $11 each! yes, $11. They worked great for hanging my Craftsman cabinets... 2 6' tall cabinets and 3 smaller ones over my bench.

    Large Boeing Co. Surplus Auction

    There was no buyer's premium on this sale, which was a pleasant surprise. Sales tax was collected though unless you had an exemption. I too wanted one of the composite material racks...they were very high quality and had leftover materials... the first two went for $900 each and the one with...

    Large Boeing Co. Surplus Auction

    Anyone else go to this? I left around 12:30 b/c prices were as high as the temperature and humidity. I got outbid on a few things and expected the prices to stay pretty high until later in the day. There was a TON of great stuff though. 3 747-sized hangars full of treasure.
