Looking for a variable speed clausing drill press. I’m willing to pay shipping or drive throughout the Midwest. Thanks!

I’m in the market looking for a 1930’s era toolchest. Anything prior to 1960 I’d be interested in. I’m mainly looking something with that neat character they used to possess such as a Blackhawk or something really unique. I’m willing to pay shipping or drive throughout the Midwest.

Looking for a high quality spindle sander, I like old heavy duty ones. I’m in the Midwest but have friends all over that could potentially pick it up for me. Please let me know if you have one for a reasonable price.

Just a random thought I’ve been dwelling on: If you get a solid coat of primer down, can you run automotive base coat/clear coat over something made out of wood?

I am going to buy a small 5hp phase converter to run my 1.5hp Bridgeport. I have done some research into American Rotary Phase Converters and they use Baldor motors which I like, have a great warranty, have great customer service, and overall it seems like a very quality product. I’ve spent a...

Looking to get a Baldor Buffer. Thanks!

I would love to see pictures of the setups people have for their lathe, mill, etc. I am getting ready to move all my stuff to my new garage and would like some inspiration.

I am moving into a new place and was curious what colors people are painting on the walls. Any two-tone or cool themes out there? I’m needing some inspiration and I’d love to see pictures.

Has anyone added recessed compartments or any interesting features in between the studs of their garage? I am moving into a new place and was thinking about interesting storage solutions or ways to use that space before I sheetrock it.

I’m looking for some more inspiration into guys that are either restoring tools or designing and building tools or neat things. Particularly looking for someone who uses a mill and a lathe and maybe Solidworks. My longtime favorite is MyMechanics. Who are you guys watching?

Looking for a die grinder, specifically a Dotco or similar high end name brands. Also wanting any attachments if available but that’s not a dealbreaker.

I looked around and I couldn’t find any other threads on this. I use my Pneumatic die grinder all the time. Mine burned out today and I hate cheap quality. What is the best performing brand on air tools in general and specifically die grinders. Is ARO any good? I’ve seen some of theirs floating...

I found this strange looking gear reduction device in a very old machine shop. He dabbled in a lot of things from cars to guns but I can't figure out what this is. I am not particularly sure if it is old or something new. If you turn the main pulley it spins the gear on top at a much slower...

I am restoring my Wilton Cadet vice and am looking for a pair of heat treated replacement jaws. They are 4”x3/4”x1/2” and the distance between screws is 2-3/8”. The screw size is 1/4”. I am looking for the serrated pair, not smooth. Thanks!

My father in law gave me this very old Baldor. I’m trying to identify what year it is because I haven’t seen the squarish versions before. He inherited it from his Grandpa. It runs unbelievably smooth but I can’t seem to figure out what year it is. The data plate is very faded but it says “Type...

Anybody know how the quality of Curtis Tools was? Did they hold up well? I found and am considering buying this belt sander but I want to make sure it’s worth the $300 asking price. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I’d like to buy a while set of these. I have some of the series that is marked like BXDL8, and they range from 5/32 to 3/8. I really like the sockets and would like a whole set. Also if anyone knows what year these are that would also be awesome. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using The...

First off, has anyone ever seen these before? There is no branding and they almost seem to be homemade. The stamp marks are slightly irregular and the finishing of some parts looks to be a little rough- it’s like lathe marks are still visible. They were with some other old sockets from the...

I need to buy a bench top polisher preferably 1hp that is a good quality motor. I plan on keeping it for life. Also need a belt sander. Please send me what you have! Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app
