Place boulders along the edge of the pond and backfill with drain rock cobbles and then top with 3/4" crushed rock. It would look semi - natural.

Vintage Snap-On equipment sign. Heavy cast steel weighs 16lbs. 14-1/4" X 15-1/2". 3/4" thick. This was originally part of automobile wheel alignment equipment. Can be used as a stepping stone or mounted on the wall.

Orbital polisher and some coarse automotive rubbing compound if you can find it. Follow up with paste floor wax for protection against rust.

I would start with the model and manufacturer of the fan to find a parts list or diagram. Then take the bearing to a supply house to have them find a replacement based on ID. Pillar block pedestal height, width, and design use. There are many fan bearing manufacturers and styles so don't give...

As with any jack, a safety jack stand or 2 should be used once you have the vehicle in the air. That's a real nice jack for the price. I have a mechanical Walker "roll a car" jack from the 1930's.

Check this Craigslist link: http://sacramento.craigslist.org/tls/5731322104.html Might not be the same model but adaptable, the price range sounds good.

I used one like it 24/7 during winter in ducting to heat a molasses tank. It did not flinch. I did maintain a 2 inch airspace at the discharge point of the heater.

A nice press. Major suckage there. I Hope you got the arbor plate with it. If not, you can still order a new one from Famco but they run about $180. I just use heavy square stock.

Keep the Famco if you have room. I love my Famco model 3-1/2R 5 ton (photo) but also keep the light duty Dake model 0 for small stuff.

High capacity roof mounted exhaust fans have an aluminum dome that covers the fan to prevent rain, debris and such from entering. The louvre type are generally wall mounts that exhaust either into a high zone or protected area.Depending on where you live, they can be an entry point for thieves.

I would say for shoe or harness making

The 1/2 hp industrial nomenclature plate states it is a 7 amp rating. Thats more than all 3 of my 3/4 hp units. Both the round tops are 1959 models.

It is a 1/4 hp. The 1/4 hp round top is not an industrial model, only the 1/2 hp is. I have seen several of these 1/4 hp roundtops without the side covers. I wonder if they were an option. There aren't any mounting holes where they would attach.

Got the 1/4 hp and 1/2 hp industrial round tops today off CL $ 65.00 for the pair. The seller was getting ready to have an estate sale and had a garage full of stuff from his mechanic FIL who had recently passed. The 1/3 hp Baldor (20.00) and the other 1/2 hp block (35.00) from another recent CL...

I have that same grinder and bought it about 1978. I took it to work and used as my personal grinder with a wire wheel. Took it with me when they closed in 96. Still runs strong and smooth.
