    Show us your welding projects

    I'm putting this dash from a 69 Dodge truck into my 85 truck project and its about 5" too short. So I cut it in half and am adding material to widen it. All the openings and holes will be filled in and new ones made to place the gauges, switches and radio where I want them.

    3/8 crome sockets on an impact gun

    I use HF chrome sockets on my impact all the time, I actually don't have any 3/8 impact sockets. Never had an issue even hammering on a stuck bolt and I'm not using a cheap impact either lol

    What's your preferred working temperature?

    65-70 would be awesome but since my metal garage has no insulation or heat/air i just have to deal with whatever temp mother nature feels like lol

    What kind of stool do you use in the garage?

    I just turn a bucket upside down to stand on to reach up high. I have a Mac rolling stool for sitting and working on vehicles.

    Where do you guys shop for new tools?

    My work gets discounts from Grainger and MSC and others as well and I agree their prices are pretty steep so I usually only buy stuff thats on sale in their monthly catalogs they send us. But we also have a tool account that we can have a max of $500 of stuff and they just take payments of at...

    Pickup truck crane / hoists

    I'm in the planning/material gathering stage of building one that will be somewhere between the HF crane and an Autocrane or similar like what you see on service trucks. I'll post some pics when I begin fabrication.

    Bridgeport Mill---$800.00

    Sometimes I feel like ads like that are a sick joke to torture people like us. Everytime I get the same response..."Just now sold it"

    What is this tool again

    Kind of looks like a chain breaker, for removing the pins from the links of a motorcycle or go kart type chain?

    tool box liner tip

    Stall mat like you can get at Tractor Supply or other farm stores works great, I don't know what it costs new but I found 4'x15' piece of it on the side of the highway so that's what I used. At about 1/4" thick it weighs about as much as the drawer its in lol

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    Well I did clean it up and lube the slides as it was pretty greasy when I got it, but I hadn't thought about waxing it. I would like to get it to have at least a little bit of shine to it if possible I'll have to give it a try. All my boxes are either from my dad or grandpa I would take them...
