Welcome from the Twin Cities I'm wondering about the EMT part. Is it Emergency Medical Technician or you ran Electrical Metallic Tubing (thinwall conduit) in your garage? Respect for both here. Someday we'll all likely need a Med Tech and I don't like Romex.

Question for the big Wilton bullet gurus here: I came across a set of Wilton 404-6-1/2 Brass Soft Jaws. I have a 6" Wilton C3. Can I make them fit my vise?

We should have a thread about prybars here.

Not laughing at you btw. Gave you the laugh emoji because of the ***** who whined about your packaging.

Fun thread. Reminds me of the best boss I ever worked for. If he saw you doing something dumb he would say; "Jerry, you gotta be smarter than a goddamned pliers". (or hammer, shovel, shackle or whatever someone was using wrong)

If I could give you a 1 hour lesson I could make a good drywall taper/mudder out of you. There's only about 3 things you need to know Jerry Was a pretty good mudder before I retired.)

SAE tools work off a different metric.

Only metal here. Sometimes a tractor or 2.. What is wood anyway?

Better organization. If you're a wrench guy it's One drawer for 3/8" one 1/2", one for 3/4" ratchets and sockets. I don't need drawers that are 42" wide. They're just heavier and less specialized. These typically have several drawer depths. 2" depth is perfect for a lot of things. 3 1/2" for...

"Farmerizing" has fixed a lot of old machinery and fed a lot of people in this world. I chuckle at your welds but salute you for doing what you do.

Yesterday I took my steady rest completely apart and wire brushed 80 years of grunge and nastiness off of it then washed it down with lacquer thinner and primed then painted it. Today it was dry enough that I could reassemble it again. It is original to my lathe.
