    Between 485 & 705 SQ/FT Mid-Century Moto Mecca Makeover

    Reminds me of Zurich in the early 90s. All the uber rich bankers were being driven around in Lincoln Town Cars just because they were American V8s and no one else could afford to drive one. They definitely stood out!

    I have a problem! You can just barely see my white 2007 Tundra with 200k miles in one of the pics. One of my best ever vehicle purchases. 5.7 crew cab 4x4. Tows the toy hauler and the family of 6 easily (Front bench seat). 1 starter, 1 radiator and one power steering pump. It’s my winter...

    Amen to that! But the slug with the H on the front in my last pic certainly is a minivan.

    I thought it used razorblades, But it says Hobelklinge, so I assume they are different and specifically made for a plane. Thanks for sharing.

    Tools from the old world

    Interesting tool, Monte. It looks like this uses replaceable razorblades. Is it intended as more of a scraper, or an actual plane for wood and other soft materials? Could you give us a review on how well it works? Kent

    Geared Head Drill Press- Info and VFD help

    Hmm. Good feedback. What does that disturbance effect? TV? Thanks, I was looking for a DP with T-slot table and capacity for at least 5/8" in steel. For $350, seemed like a no brainer. I don't know about other parts of the country, but here in CO, everyone is hanging on to their...

    Geared Head Drill Press- Info and VFD help

    Thank you. I've seen those around and hate to roll the dice on an unknown. I've also seen Hitachi and other big names, but they are at least twice as much $$. Tried Wolf- ETA June. My thoughts on 4.3A is continuous and the rating on the motor is peak. That would almost never happen on a...

    Harbor Freight Black Friday Ad 2021

    For that kind of shing, I would check out strictlytoolboxes.com. They also used to sell scratch and dent under rockintoolboxes.com . I got a 56x25 from them and was really impressed with the quality. Had to use two jacks to get it off the pallet it was so heavy.

    Harbor Freight Black Friday Ad 2021

    Ive been watching the HF 20 ton press to see if there would be a coupon I could use. This week it went up from $229 to $249. I assume that is in anticipation of a coupon for BF. So do I now need a coupon to get the regular everyday price?! I also noticed that it said out of stock in all my...

    Thanks for the detailed explanation. I currently live in the US, but work 20% of my time in Graz, Munich and Frankfurt. It seems on almost every trip, I am forced to check a bag because of tools and such :) I'm always looking for great tool stores in the EU. Best, Kent
