A broken cable doesn't sound good. What happened? And, how bad was it to deal with? I hope your car wasn't damaged.

I'm considering buying one of these. At this point, my plan is to use it for storage only. Does anyone else, that has one or used one, have anything good or bad to say about this lift? Thanks, Zeke

Today, I was able to get a starter for my wife's Honda Fit with TRT41 and a $5 off Speedperks credit. It came out to be about $30 less than anyone else even with the other guy's coupons.

Using the booth is an option I hadn't considered. This would allow me to spend more money on the booth. Perhaps I could find some ways to customize it for both purposes. But, I worry I wouldn't be able to get in appropriately clean enough.

I will be restoring several cars in my garage and I plan to build or buy a paint booth. But, before I can worry about that I need to do a lot of sanding and grinding which makes a huge mess. Has anyone built any type of sanding booth to control the mess? I'm curious how well something like the...

Very inspiring work! I love it. Now I want some rivet tools. How do go about making the braces? Are you just bending them in the brake? Or, are you pressing them?

I'd rather just watch them tighten bolts than listen to the fake drama.

So, one of my projects I have to do this spring is rebuild the kids swing set. The current one is one of the wooden bolt together units. It's in pretty rough shape since it's who knows how old. It came with our house when we purchased it and the house is 20 years old. I'm currently in the...

Agreed.

We have one at work. And, I've thought they would make a great fab table as the tops are VERY stiff and heavy. If I could find one cheap, I would get one for fab work.

Thanks for the input. I hadn't thought about using water. But, given how gunky the thing is it may be the ticket. I'll look for the rocker. Hopefully, that's the problem.

I almost ordered a Jet or Baileigh. In fact, the reason I didn't was I hadn't been able to get a quote from Baileigh with the alliance discount. I'm sure this will be a much better saw once it's cleaned up.

I'll get the serial number when I'm at the garage today. Thanks

So, I picked up a Scotchman 350-LT cold saw at an auction this week. It does have a could of problems that I need to figure out. First the vise is stuck. I can turn the handle about an eighth of a turn either way then i just tightens up. The jaws just don't move. Second, I can't get the saw...

I picked up this 8" Columbian vise today for $100. I guess I need to do some work on it at some point.
