So I really needed a saw to cut raw materials as I wanted to start cranking out some welding projects. So I get one from the store and wasn’t happy about paying the full $250 but I figured it’s still cheaper than anywhere else. I bring it to the shop, assemble everything and start my first cut...

So I finally got myself a 20ton shop press from HF. I've heard several people say that it's just needs to be reinforced a bit. So where do I need to reinforce and how? Anybody got pics of what they have done to pimp their press? thanks, jmr

Excuse the crappy cell picture it was 2 am when I finally left the shop last night. So I gave most of my ratchets the red lube of love this morning and here are my results. My least favorite Craftsman teardrop ratchets were the ones most affected. Whoever said that this works best in...

So now I've done it. Two of my impact sockets were rusted pretty bad so I was like a little kid with a new toy last night. (I got my mediablaster working for the first time) So I sand blasted the suckers. They came out pristine after the aluminum oxide loving. Except they are now gray and no...
