A friend of mine is a graffiti artist, and I asked him about this today... He described the new Rustoleum as "the biggest problem in my life right now." It was very cool to get his perspective... It's always interesting to talk to someone who has a deep knowledge of an obscure topic. I...

First of all, this place rocks and I've been drooling over everyone else's setups for months! So I got myself a house with a great garage, perfect size, in need of a total renovation! From what i can tell the building started its life as a carport and was later enclosed and separated into a...

Are Knipex American made?

^This. They're a lifesaver and there's a wide range of price points from which to choose! Craftsman's is affordable and easy-to-use! :thumbup:

Thanks! I've had them in my hands a couple times but always went with Channellock. But now I guess I'll HAVE to try a pair! :)

Just bought a pair of Channellock lineman's pliers at Wal-Mart. Made in Meadville, PA. Not only from the USA, but from my very own state! It was a nice surprise, and I bought them even though I hadn't planned on it and couldn't afford it! Blinded by patriotism, I suppose! :D

Yep. Three inch screws have balls. With back and face frame youll be good to go!:thumbup:

^This should be the GJ motto. Seriously, what an awesome collection of incredibly different and unique spaces... And what an awesome group of passionate creators!!:beer:

You probably mean BRIGGS. A great source of sheet goods and stone, great prices! They also have a location in Telford and maybe one other. OP if you PM me I can give you the name of a salesman I know in Telford. You can also p/u yourself if you have a truck.

If this were a real post, I'd say something interesting.

George Nakashima is a legendary woodworker and furniture-maker from Bucks County PA. He wrote The Soul of a Tree, a perfect book for the aspiring cabinetmaker or craftsman. A how-to book that also includes discussion of a more spiritual approach to woodworking that is often developed by...

I second that! Two days ago a 30-year cabinetmaker at my shop slipped a finger into the jointer blades... Only lost a little flesh but it was a nasty cut. He passed out right after we got to the ER... Back at work the next day, tough old SOB. I know alot of us work alone so be careful out...
