    Alemite Gas Station Work Bench Restoration

    Fastenall is simple - just fill out the request form online for the drop off and pick up store - you will get a quote and shipping number - if you like the quote you can authorize it, then have the seller palletize and pack the items - drop them off at the store and they call whenever it goes on...

    Mild steel to Stainless Steel ?

    Like you're headed - best to just do a SS bung and then TIG it or wire feed it with SS wire if no Heli-arc is available

    Wooden Tool Chest question

    Gerstner makes wood machinist tool boxes lined with green felt - I don't believe they make anything with a flip lid on the diagonal like that but still their stuff is quality and traditional - neat box pictured
