Looking for a nice looking way to do just that. Up high on a shop wall is what I have in mind. I have a few sets that take up room on the floor, and I don't like it. They are always in the way, getting dirty, etc...

I have an 08 Ford Super Duty with a CM flatbed. The bed is straight enough and has most of the factory coating on it, but it's starting to rust in a few places, and I don't like looking at it. I also don't want to pull it off for sandblasting or coating, so I suppose it's going to be hand...

Finally got my HF Vulcan welder up and running. If you're offended by that, feel free to donate some cash so I can get a big name model. Anyways, I just grabbed a small drop from a local steel company. 1/2" plate, going to cut it down to about 32x48. Somewhere close to that. My question...

I'm seriously considering the Omnipro 220. I searched for a while, and didn't really see anything saying they are junk. You Tube vids are pretty convincing. It wouldn't be used commercially, or everyday, by any stretch of the imagination, but it seems that it's somewhat comparable to...

I was drilling with a step bit into some 1/8" steel yesterday, with a decently charged LithIon battery, and my drill just stopped. I figured it was the battery, so I popped in a fresh one, and nothing. Is this common, and can it be fixed? It is one of the white and black 18v models that...

My tool collection has finally outgrown my 26" CM box that I've had for a while. I have been planning to get a wider bottom chest for a while, and put my current box on top. I have have been looking at the "middle of the road" sets, like the Husky set at HD, or the one at Costco that I...

I'm getting ready to put my bathroom together. It will consist of a low flow shower, hand sink and utility sink. None of them will ever flow at the same time. I was shopping HD's site, and I see a few electric tankless heaters that might work. If I understand correctly, I need at least...

That title is pretty vague, so I apologize for that. What I mean is, how much is enough lateral area for say, a floor stand drill press, bench grinder, etc? I need to move my bench mounted tools to floor stands that I'm building, but I also have cabinets to move. I can take a pic of the...

Anyone have some input on this? I know it's kind of entry level, but I don't want to waste time or money if I don't have to. http://www.sears.com/craftsman-6-in-bench-vise/p-00951856000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1

I bought this old CM DP a month ago, it works great. I'm wondering if there is any maintenance to do, aside from the occasional belt? Does anyone have a pic of a speed reducer for it?

I've posted a handful of drill presses and a few other things, to get some opinions. The problem I ran into, was the fact that they sold between the time I found them, to the time I inquired here, and then tried to buy it. So, this press hit my local CL last night, and I bought it this...

Apparently no markings. The owner doesn't know what it is. Any ideas?

This came on my local CL today for $150. Questions are the usual: Is it worth the asking price? Is it suitable for primarily metal use?

I'm putting together my benches this weekend. My plan is an "L" shaped corner with basically two of what I attached as a reference. Both will be 24" x 96". So, I will have 8' one direction, and 10' the other. I'm considering building one at 36" tall, and the other at around 40" tall. I'm 6'...

It looks like a leg vise. But the jaws are seriously out of alignment from what I see in the pics. Not to mention the cast base is busted up. Still neat. Any ideas?

A guy has had this on my local CL for a few days. Has it priced around $350. It has 3 1/2" jaws. And apparently the orange is NOT rust. Is it worth that?

Have a chance to pick this up locally. What should I look for as far as problems? Any idea on value/price?

One of these popped on the local CL. Any idea of age? Listing says 30"

I have a chance to pick up what appears to be a vintage drill press. I like old stuff, and am looking to pick up a few things like this. I has the original 1/2 H.P. motor. The drill itself has the serial # of: 1 147 Looks pretty original aside from the on/off switch and the attached wire...

Looks like I found the right place. This forum covers everything I'll need to finish my shop. So, thanks in advance! I am finishing up a 32wx38d shop. 9' ceiling, because I ordered the trusses to accommodate a loft for a bar/man cave instead of being able to install a lift. The shop is 99%...
