    Getting my Craigslist tool box organized

    Bought a ton of new Wright tools to augment my inventory, cleaned up the box and moved the tools from my ancient small Snap-On. Got a smoking deal on the box ($900.00), now I just need to build the new shop to put it in. It is temporarily living in the garage. Contracting a 30x30 block built...

    Look what mama went and did

    I just came home for a vacation (work overseas). Mama surprised me with an unexpected present. She knew I surfed US made vises on CL so she did so herself and liberated this gem from an old guy who didn't use it anymore. A 3 1/2 inch Wilton. Beautiful shape with original finish. No abuse...

    Little Giant work table

    Do any of you own a 7 gauge Little Giant work table? I would like to buy a no nonense heavy metal table that can withstand a daisy cutter and haven't seen anything on the net that is a better option. Don't have time to build one. They used to abound in the 70's and earlier. I also don't want...

    Extreme Tool Box Company

    I just wanted to give high praise and kudos to Extreme Tools Inc. I just bought a used 56 in combo set with two side boxes on CL. Great price and condition. It had a few trim pieces damaged at some point in the past. I wanted to replace them to make it 100% pretty again. Strickly toolbox...

    CL Extreme Tool Box

    My wife just picked me up the 56 inch 21 drawer Extreme tool box set with top and bottom boxes plus 2 full length side cabinets from Craigslist. Nice blue color and in fairly great shap. Couple of dings in the trim and that is it. That will be 86 x62 inches of tool storage. That will free up...

    Pratt Reed

    Just ordered a pick set. I have never heard of this US company before. When I get them I'll give a report card on them. I still have a 35 year old SO set, but everyone can use two sets.

    GJ *****

    I am a toolaholic. I don't belong here. Like a drunk at an open bar. I live overseas and come to America once a year. There are at least 2 grand worth of tools I haven't seen yet and don't need waiting for me at home thanks to you guys. Read a post here the other day about the 2 foot...

    Garage storage cabinet sets

    I just bought a new house and now I must start all over for shop and garage. I am going to have a shop built but must first trick out our attached garage. Already had the floors and walls apoxy coated, time for cabinets. Do any of the box stores have good systems that are good quality? Love...

    Saw this tool truck in Dubai

    Thought you'd appreciate it. Too bad it was in traffic. I'd love to have flagged him down and seen what he was selling.

    Tailgate party in your shop

    This would be a fun project. I suppose it would be easiest to find an out of work Dodge bed to use. The Fords will still be working on the ranch, the Chevys will be hauling groceries, and the Dodges probabaly don't run.

    I just drafted plans for my new house

    What do you think? I think I may have overdone it on the kitchen and bathroom.

    You made me hate my shop

    Being a newbie here at GJ has ruined my life. I have had a couple shop with tons of cool tools for about 7 years now. My shop has always been just for me, never shared as I work overseas and don't have time for local shop bromances. Found this site by accident. I must quote GJ when I tell...

    Have you noticed machinist toolboxs are always wooden?

    It seems that automotive toolboxes were generally fabricated from metal yet machinist toolboxes seemed to be predominantly wooden? Why the difference? I would think wood would be more prone to retain mositure and be a source of corrosion than metal. Is it one of life's unsolved puzzles? :dunno:
