I've been thinking of getting one of those little trailers with the rails around it, usually angle iron, about a foot high with a full width ramp. I was going to then cut the rails down to the platform so it can be use for a small car. I was told that those rails actually support and hold...

Hi all, Just wondering how the heck the retaining 'nut/disc' for the pulley shown is removed? I've got a pin tool and I understand the threads are reversed, ie, clockwise to loosen. True? Is it ok to hold the splined shaft with a socket while I wrestle with the pin tool? A 9/16" six point...

I just bought this table top drill press from an estate sale. Although made in Taiwan, it's heavy as he**. I think it was an ok deal at $45. As you can see its 12 speed and its currently on 2420rpm. I plan on using it mostly for metal drilling. I was wondering what speed should this thing...

Hi all, I just picked up this Silver Eagle air sander at a garage sale but it's missing the arbor and sanding disc piece. The seller says its a push it type of arbor and it's released through the hole in the side (pic). I think its threaded in but don't know what the hole in the side is...

I've been looking for a round thermometer, automotive themed, for my garage but all I can find are the vertical ones. The Hot Rod Stuff catalogue from Summit Racing has a '57 Chevy speedo one, set up to be a thermometer but I'm really still looking. Any ideas as to where one (or given a...

When my wife and I get to an estate sale, I immediately head to the garage, then the basement. I found this today. Each drawer is chock full of goodies and one drawer is nothing but washers, nuts and bolts. Each drawer is on bearings and work beautifully. It says Kar Products on the...

I have to make some fairly sharp 90 degree bends in some brake lines and wondered if this tool will do the trick and how easily? Thanks!

Hi all, Is there such a thing as a hand held scroll saw, much like a jig saw? Or, are there scroll saw blades one could put in a jig saw. Haven't been able to find either. Thanks!

Hi all, I'm doing a lot of sanding on my car and trying to keep the dust issue down. What I find is, that everytime I turn on the shop vac to clean up a paint dust mess, the exhaust port spits out a big cloud. Makees even a bigger mess. A clean filter minimizes this but it doesn't take...

Hi all, My buddy's got a nice three car attached garage with the standard 8'x 20" or so sectional garage doors. The problem is he doesn't have a service door, ie, a normal entry door to the garage. Is there a way to build a service door into a sectional garage door? It'll have to have...

Shown is the handle that is on the box. Box should have two handles but I'm missing one. Handle is about 4 1/8" long and the mounting holes are 2 3/4" apart. I can be reached at gjz30075 *at* bellsouth.net I'm guessing the box is from the '40s. Thanks

Hi all, Does anyone know of a GOOD set of ramps? The ones I've seen, and the set I have, are the usual short driveup with a very short platform for the tire so driving up them becomes an extremely precise driving exercise. I'm thinking of something with long ramps, and a long platform...

Hi all, I just bought an old Craftsman bandsaw off of CL for the intent on cutting exhaust pipe. I didn't realize it's really not intended to cut metal (per the owners manual) but some thread searching here says it's possible if the blade is changed to a finer tooth one, and slowing down the...

Just joined after lurking for some time. Name is Greg and I had some questions I would have posted in the tool discussion area but the search function works great and had the questions answered in no time! Restored a '66 Mustang and '72 Lotus Elan (still own both) and looking forward to more...
