Wow I never knew that happened! I was very curious as to why it was a perfectly smooth grind, like a surface grinder did it. Couldnt wrap my mind around why anyone would have ever done that! But that makes perfect sense. Cool!!! Im gonna research that lawsuit!

First weekend I was able to go to a few sales in a while, the first few I went to had nothin, however I did find a few goodies at one sale. A older guy who gave me a great deal on the handful I grabbed because "He loves seeing young guys who still enjoy wrenching" Heres what I got, from top to...

Hello all, I came across this two post Rotary "Action Rack" lift. It is a drive on lift with alignment capabilities and some rolling jacks, but that is about all I know. Looked around the lift and really couldnt find any type of designation plate or numbers on it. Was wanting to see if...

Thanks for sharing! I picked it up today for $80! great score. no light, switch is there. Needs some new caster bearings, which is just 1/4" stainless balls and then there is a set screw that holds casters on.

I know! I am going to use my address and my cousin's address:rocker:

Autozone is giving free blades after mail in rebate, limit one per person per household etc you know the drill. So you would have to have two seperate names and adresses, but they are Rain-X's highest quality blade. Only good through 9/12-9/14 Link to the PDF-...

Just one thing I noticed as I was looking through the Pictures, something you may want to consider... Behind the intake manifold on the block there are two sensors (for sure there is one). If my memory serves me right, they are the cam position sensor and the oil pressure sending unit...

Craftsman is having a sale on both metric and standard 10 pc 3/8 drive socket set with ratchet.... Pretty good deal at 8.99 plus tax. When I went into the store it rang up as 9.99 but i showed him on my phone it was advertised at 8.99 Gonna find a sears that has metric since the store I stopped...

Done! Thanks for the post

Havent ever heard of it.... but now I MUST HAVE ONE:eyecrazy: my list of things I NEED keeps getting bigger and my wallet keeps getting smaller.....:dunno:

Well I didn't make too much progress yesterday, I am still kind of figuring out how the miter vise is going to work as I am building it... So I cut a 5.25" x 5" piece of 1/8" plate to use for the "table" of the vise. I then figured out where I needed to start with drilling my holes, I will...

I thought that it may be sloppy, however once the weight of the saw goes down on the hinge there is hardly any slop and it is perpendicular as well. But thanks for the tip I will definitely use those next time, just this was supposed to be as low budget as I could make it and I already had the...

When I was thinking about the "Holster", I guess that was the wrong term to use, as it could constitute confusion. I am intending to use a piece of pipe or tube just barely bigger than my nozzle on my gun, and weld it to the table at an angle whereas the trigger on the gun will be parallel to...

Here is a photo I snapped this morning of my current position, not the best pic but you can at least see how I joined my frame and bandsaw together. If you look closely, you can see the hinge between the two pieces of tubing. I ground everything smooth for a cleaner look, so the hinge is kind of...

I was thinking the same thinig! So after a few hours of brainstorming, I have started the build. I started a thread called "my horizontal/vertical porta bandsaw stand" (http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3855783&posted=1#post3855783) I have already done the frame, and also the hinge...
