SOLD Really nice Dake 1 1/2 Arbor Press. Used at my father-in-laws leather shop until he upgraded to a bigger one for thicker leather. Has the ratchet feature to hold a press in place if need be. Missing handle. $300 or best offer.

Got this glider, with the ottoman, for $0 because the front piece of wood was broken. Made a new piece in an hour our so out of an old piece of 2x4. I hoped the stain would get the color closer, but it didn't, and I don't care because the cushion completely covers it. It is held in place by a...

By and large I'm very happy with my Craftsman tools, especially my older ones. I'm very much a weekend tinkerer/mechanic and don't depend on my tools for a living; so, I'm ok with sacrificing some quality for value. Our local sears went out of business about 3 months ago and I took every tool I...

Finally mounted my harbor freight air hose reel between the garage doors. Gives perfect access to projects inside the garage or in the driveway if need be. Also will keep me from having to drag my air compressor everywhere. Next plan is to install an outlet next to it so I can just leave my...

Picked the below up for $0.00. My wife bought an elliptical from Sear's and it netted her about $65 on her sears rewards card. The sears in our town and closing down so everything is 10-20% off. She has no desire for anything else at the store so she told me to go spend that $65. The store was...

Fixed two wagons and a quad copter for my nephews then assembled a glider and ottoman for my wife. A piece of wood on the front of the gilder was busted so I'll be forming a new one out of 2x4, shaping it and staining it to match in the coming days.

Made about 100 trips back and forth into the garage to cut the trim for the doors and baseboard for our basement that we recently drywalled and carpeted. And after finishing that job up spent about an hour getting all the scrap wood and sawdust out of all the saws and floor. Air compressor...

Welcome! What part of East TN you from? Im in Bristol, far southwest va/northeast tn.

Not in my garage, but in my moms. When she moved into her house it had some metal wire shelves that just aren't cutting it. She asked me if I would put in some wood shelves for her and since I'm obviously the favorite son, of course I said yes. Here's what she had before: She texted me this...

Cleaned the plug, filter and carb on my stihl string trimmer since it wouldn't start yesterday. Stuck the compression tool on it and after two pulls it's only at 65psi so it's probably nearing it's last leg, but it still started and trimmed my yard for (hopefully) the last time this year. It...

Oil change and tire rotation on my commuter car, oil change in my truck, oil change in the corvette, cleaned the deck on the mower and sharpened the blades, put a vanity for the bathroom together, cleaned up, swept the garage out.

Were still going to put some lattice work on the outside and put some chipped brick underneath it to deal with some water drainage we get due to the natural slope on our lot, but the hard part is over. We made the rail 42" tall because I like the extra security of that height. We also put 2"x8"...

The most recent big task I've undertaken is rebuilding our dilapidated deck. It was built with nothing but 4x4 posts, 2x4 joists, floor boards and nails. It's was still standing but was by no means safe. First task was cutting down two 9' tall holly bushes behind the deck. A chainsaw made...

New pads, rotors and brake fluid flush on the wife's Lexus. Fixed the exhaust tips on the Corvette and charged/re-installed the battery since it's about driving season for it.

Federal Agent, no joke.
