I found this SK Machinist Chest on eBay thinking it was perfect for some of my SK stuff. Then there were some really good sales on SK offset ratchets and other stuff so I had to go out and buy a Craftsman roller and intermediate drawers that were on sale for $99. Used some rattle cans of...

Picked up this Plvmb Toolmobile a few years ago and you can't tell from the before pictures but the rounded sides were all smashed in and other dents all over drawer fronts. Drilled holes and rust too. Also found this Proto Chest soon after in better shape. Welded up the holes and fixed some...

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff! I'm going with red and I would like to paint the stripes like the original build. When its done I will post to one of the tool box threads on here.

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff! In addition to the Plumb Toolmobile, I also found this box. Its in very nice shape and will go on top of the Toolmobile.

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff! The outdoor project list is finally getting shorter and its time that I moved on to looking after this Plumb Toolmobile that I scored last year. The drawers are nice but missing all the dividers so I will make some up. It was also missing the...

I installed a Honeywell Wi-Fi Touchscreen programmable thermostat (model rth8500wf) in my home back in February 2013. Easy install with good documentation and very reliable service from Honeywell's web server that manages your account. Remote connection via your Apple smartphone, tablet...

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff! Nice score on the Proto box Emeraldcoup - I paid a whole lot more for mine but like you, still happy with my score cause they are not making these anymore. The Toolmobile is going to have to wait for its turn - too many other projects ahead of...

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff! Just scored this Plomb Toolmobile last week and it was very complete except for the lock key and some drawer dividers. These things weigh about 150lbs and are heavy gauge steel - but someone managed to put a long flat spot in one of the...

A lot of good advice given here for you but I believe your best bet is to rebuild your roof. I had the exact problem you do on a rental home that was built about 1960. There was no ridge beam used on my roof - only several 1X8's supported in place by 2 X6 rafters and held up with 2 X 4's above...

Here are my Milwaukee twins. The grinder on the left is a 1/2 hp that I bought new in 1993 at Home Depot. Its all original including paint and stones. The one on the right is a 1/3 hp I got off Ebay a year ago. The 1/3 hp was a mess when I got it, missing eye shields and tool rests plus both...

This is my first post but I have been looking at GJ for over a year and really enjoy all the posts. This is my current project - Its an SK Chest I recently picked up and it was a banged up and rusty mess. Had it soaking in Metal Rescue for a few days then primed and painted it with Restoleum...
