I have been commissioned by to repurpose a 1927 buffet into a bathroom vanity which I will be installing in a 1928 bathroom remodel I'm working on. The sink will be getting cut into the original wood top and the drawers will be getting modified to work around the sink but only lose minimum...

I figured I'd give a quick review of a shop tool that most can't live without in their shop. Tunes! If you are one of those people that like pure silence in the shop, I respect that, but please don't rush in here tell everyone about it. We get it:bounce: So I was using a free, cheapo RCA Home...

Hypothetically, if you were in the market for a good work bench, and you came across this bench(cleaned up of course), what would you think is a fair price to pay? I'm in the southwest region of the states for economical reference btw. Dimensions are 30"Dx72"Wx34"H. The drawer dimensions are...

Master of None: My Garage Evolution I guess it's about time to have one of these of my own...... First, a little background and explanation of my situation. Being a full time fireman, like most firemen, I have a job outside my career. However, my "part time job" consist of pretty much what ever...

I'm not real happy with the MAC socket set that I bought. They seem to fit loosely on bolt heads. So now I'm shopping,again. Unless I can score Sanp-Ons for what I can sell my MACs for, I'll be buying something cheaper but still US made. Craftsman is not an option but I'm open to other good...

I am just trying to figure out which end the problem is on. I went to one of my threads last night to update it and ALL of my photobucket linked pics on all threads I've posted in now look like this I have used PB for years and never had a problem on any forum. I'm curious if anyone else is...

Ok, got a Q. I am in the process of re building my compressor. I got a donor tank since my 80gal got a hole in it. I have a question about the tank fill line. The compressor pump I am using from my original setup has a 5/8" copper supply line going into a 1" bung that houses the check valve. The...

Well, I bought me a project but my wife a daily driver anyway...... She's been wanting one of these since she saw Skyler White driving one on Breaking Bad (a AMC TV series). I'd been looking for a cheap one to fix up now an then. Then I came across this jewel for a little more than cheap, but...

Well my vintage Hercules 80gal compressor finally sprang a leak yesterday. It was probably my fault since I'm not the best at draining the tank on a regular basis. So now I'm on the search for a tank. Like most useful things around here, they are hard to find. But I did find a 83gal propane...

Ok, I was cleaning the garage up today and during one of my sidetrack moments, I finally decided to check the run out on the old Craftsman drill press I bought. I broke out the dial caliper and set it up. I chucked up a old wrist pin I had on the bench and turned the chuck by hand. These are the...

I bought 4 bench grinders and a cool little cart today for $60. (I bought the China grinder for $10 for just the sharpening wheels) In the mix is a really cool specialty grinder. I have not done the research yet on any of these but I just wanted to share this, what I am calling the early...

I've been looking for a good drill press multi directional vise for a long time now and this one just came up. I spoke to the guy and he said he can't find any names or numbers on it. He bought it 15years ago and doesn't recall where. Kinda looks Taiwanese to me but at $45 I didn't think the...

I might pull the trigger on this lathe for $300 plus a stand I have about $20 invested in. What are some things I should be wary of when looking it over?

I'm getting prepared for a shed make over and installing a over head door is in the plans. I currently have double swing 3'-0" doors. I will be installing a 7'x8' overhead door that uses two rail springs rather than the large single spring. My question is, based on this pic, how would I reframe...

What is the difference between the X*** series and the X***R series sockets?

Looking for these three boxed offset wrenches in good condition without rust. S-K B1214 S-K B1820 S-K B2024 Thanks, Chad

Nylon, denim, leather? I've seen all three. Obviously the lether would be the most expensive, but other than cost, I don't like the weight. How does nylon and denim hold up? I need to buy one soon before I melt a big hole in my torch hose. FeeBay has some overseas covers for cheap that look to...

Long story short. I bought this because I like the cabinet. But I'm starting to look like a hoarder so I'm selling the big stuff. I'll sell the set for $50 or everything but the cabinet for $20. Here is the catch. Pick up only, must be paid for by Friday and a commitment to pick up with-in 14...

Alright. Time has run out. I saved this old balancer from an auction. I loved the cabinet and thought i could find a use for it and that's the only reason I bought it. Well it's taking up room and I've tried to sell the whole thing on CL without even a call. Friday I'm making a trip to the scrap...
