Thank you gentlemen, mystery solved. My friend will be relieved !

So a buddy of mine sent me a pic of an old Blue Point tool and wondered what it was. I am stumped. Any ideas ?

Throw my name in the hat, would love that set of SK tools. Thanks to SK Tools for this giveaway.

Looks like my Snap-On stubby ratchet.

Can't really say I have a favorite..........

If you are getting into Ti you probably know my buddy Mark at Paragon Machine Works ? His shop used to be across from mine before he moved over to Richmond. Very nice guy with great products.

I have an old blaster that works well but leaks media all over the place. Im in for the TP Tools offer and see what they suggest for vacum system. Thanks to TP Tools for the very nice offer.

You are absolutely right about a quality tool box, night and day difference. Pricey for sure but they will last forever. Shop looks killer.

Three Stooges, my heros. Front and center. Really nice work, all around. Bikes, shop, reporting,everything.

I agree with you, I may have dulled the 14 tpi, I've got a new blade coming, 10tpi and I am going to try that.....carefully at first. I have just been feeding the stock in manually, applying firm, steady pressure. My experience using other peoples bandsaws in the past is that they should cut...

I just bought a Wilton metal cutting vertical bandsaw. It came with a blade that is 14 tpi. It cuts thru light gauge sheet metal very well but does not even make a dent in anything else. I have been working with 1/8" - 1/4" mild steel. I think I need a blade with less teeth per inch. Any...

I hear you on the DoAll. Price is a concern, Enco has them on sale for $1099.00 with free shipping. Shipping on one of the DoAlls is a bunch. Thanks for the links to the used machines.

I have been looking for a metal cutting band saw for a while now. Just got a flyer from Enco with some deals. Wondering if anyone has any experience with these models, good, bad or what ? http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INLMPI?P...GE=5&PMCTLG=02 I am considering the 8201 VS...

I made some car dolly's and went to Orchard Supply, got some great casters with a soft rubber wheel. My shop floors are epoxied and they do not damage floor. Not sure if you got an OSH in your area.
