Thanks!

Here’s the after repair photo.

I recently inherited my grandfather's Craftsman Drill Press. It hadn't been used in many years and had several things wrong with it. I took it apart and got everything working and love it. However it is missing the table lock handle and the similar handle for the head. Is there a place to...

Yeah....I've gotta say that your carports have influenced the design of my upcoming shop. It'll now have two carports.

I'd trade my college education in a heartbeat to have something like that in my family.

I have a spring loaded one that self-winds....got it at Sears 25 years ago....for $19.99. Don't see why an electric one at $300 would be any better (yes, I looked at the website and know what else it does). Maybe around $100 I'd think about it....but $300 dang man...there's a...

I signed up for the HAMB in 2008 and quit visiting there shortly thereafter because of the flaming, etc. HOWEVER....I started checking back in there early this year and have noticed that it's much more friendly, so I started posting again and will probably join the HAMB Alliance soon.

All of what survived from my grandfather's shop (including the spark plug cleaner) now resides with my Dad....who is getting too old to actively mess with old cars. There are some nice old tools in this collection, but I feel weird about asking for them. I know they're coming to me sooner or...

very cool....nothing beats an old building with character.....especially one with a built in garage!

willy3486....that's an interesting take on things, and I can see your point. My FIL is a great guy....the very best....however his place has an old barn and two other outbuildings that are just crammed literally thousands of old automotive and woodworking tools, car parts, misc. engines...

ok.....I've been reading this thread for a few days now and am only at page 27. However, I wanted to come to the current end of the thread and add to the praise. It is my ultimate dream to find something like this and redo it...maybe one day I'll be so fortunate. My grandfather had a small...

Price reduced to $300

I was raised around guys who had function over form garages/workshops and I tend to be that way myself, however I do like my stuff to be organized and clean. I can't stand looking around for my tools and equipment and I want them handy and ready to use. My workbench is an old oak science desk...
