I won't go out of my way to seek out new Craftsman tools anymore. They seem like just any other brand to roll of the assembly line. This is a set of vice grips that my dad picked up for my son this past Christmas. Kind of tells the whole story.

The hesitation to cutting off the whole body off is only from a time stand point. I put about 16" of weld on it:shocking: If I can shorten the jack by three or four inches, I think I can accomplish that in less time and leave an overall more compact package. If I can't shorten the jack safely...

I need some advice on how to shorten a trailer jack, if it is possible. I recently rebuilt the tongue of a neighbor's trailer. Part of the process was mounting a new weld on Reese Trailer Jack. I used this model...

FallibleFlyer Progress is progress. drivesitfar nailed it, I'm only part way through your thread and already have some ideas for my own space.:thumbup:

Re: 1966 F100 EcoBoost Engine Swap & 1966 427 Project I really enjoy following your projects but this one really has my attention. I have a soft spot for a Lincoln Y Block and especially the 368. I have a '53 317 in my '56 F100. They are a unique engine family, less than a handful of parts...

I like AvE for the projects that he works on and the ideas he brings. My 3 year old daughter LOVES when his chickadee comes into the shop with him. For the pure knowledge of machining I really enjoy This Old Tony and mrpete222 (tubalcain)

Thanks for the tips in this thread. I'm trying to hunt down some DOM 4.125" OD x 2.875" ID. I only need about 4-5" of it. It doesn't need to be DOM but that's the only way I've found the size I need short of buying a solid round an machining it.

I've lurked long enough time to say hello. I've gather many ideas from the forums that I put in effect at my previous home garage and now incorporating them into garage #2. Slowly but surely.
