    Todays' Find

    I was killing some time this morning and I happened to drive past what looked like a garage sale. I turned around and went back, didn't see much in the tool department besides this old little box off in the corner. The lady told me to go check it out, so I dug around and saw a few Proto sockets...

    Tool Box ID

    Can anybody ID this box? I have an email out to the person selling it and waiting on a reply. I'm hoping to have a look at it tomorrow. It looks a little rough, but if it's a good quality older box then it should clean up well no problem. http://bakersfield.craigslist.org/tls/2416716006.html...

    Pallet Racking--Value?

    I'd like to use pallet racking as shelving in my new shop to store my decoys and other clutter. This guy has had this posting going for awhile here locally, and I'm not sure if it's a good deal or not since nobody has picked it up yet. I'm not well versed in pallet racking so I'm wondering if...

    My new (to me) Vintage Tools

    My Grandfather entitled me to his Dad's toolbox today. Even though he only lives next door, I needed the Ranger to haul this thing home. Damn thing was heavy. I tore into it and started sorting through things, there's a lot of duplicates and there wasn't a complete set of anything by one brand...

    My Vise Stand

    So, I scrounged up some "junk" and built a vise stand out of it. I got pretty lucky find all the right parts and I didn't have to weld anything. Here's the junk assembled. I only have this small drill press, so I rigged it all up and drilled my pilot hole in the cap up to 3/8. After that I...

    "Power Genie" Parts Washer

    So I found this laying in the scrap yard at work. Since I work for a giant corporation, I can't simply throw it in the back of my truck and take it home. I'm working on going through the appropriate steps of acquiring it, and now I have to submit an offer. I'm planning to submit an offer of $5...

    Klein K1412-3 Clearance at Home Depot

    I found these on clearance at my local Home Depot earlier for $6.73, originally $27.71. I never could justify the cost of a romex wire stripper in the past, but at this price I came home with one. Adrien

    Aerosol Spray Can Rack

    I'm looking for a rack that is less than 19" in width. I've checked my usual online resources but I can't find one that fits my size restraints. I'm hoping some of you have some better resources than myself. I'm planning on attaching it to the side of my Kennedy roller, which is why it needs...

    Stationary Belt/Disc Sander Recommendation

    I'm in need of a benchtop/stationary belt/disc sander combo unit. I'm going to primarily use it for custom fitting recoil pads and spacers to shotgun stocks. Not really interested in footing the bill for a JET unit, so I guess I'm wondering which of the cheaper options are the best. I found a...

    Charles Parks No. 955

    Found this gem laying in the barn yesterday afternoon. I've probably walked passed it and tripped over it 100 times in my life but never paid much attention to it. That is until I joined GJ and got an obsession for anything and everything old and made in USA. Anyway, after reading this thread...

    Adrien's 40x60x16 Build Thread

    Just wanted to share my shop build. I'm not one much for explaining everything in detail, so I'll let the pictures talk. However I am more than willing to answer any questions. My Grandfather and I did all of the dirtwork ourselves. The concrete and the erection of the building will be done by...
