I was going to make custom socket trays, but realized my design had a flaw, and given my current tool collection and skill-set, I was unable to overcome. So I shifted directions. My desire for custom trays, was that the available ones made it appear like I was missing sockets. I own every 6pt...

I'm planning my workbench for my drill press and my (future) bench grinder/polisher and band saw. I've never used a bandsaw that wasn't free standing. How much space should I allow side to side for the other tools? I do mainly small woodworking projects or one-off motorcycle parts.

I've only ever used standard ratchets I picked up a nice set of universal joints a while back. They have been useful at times. I'm looking at replacing my craftsman raised panel ratchets with some more comfortable full polish, fine-toothed models from gear wrench like the 120's. Given that I...

Is anyone who has any of the Ernst socket organizers NOT using their sheets of labels? They look like this…. I've reached out to Ernst about purchasing replacements, but haven't heard anything. I'd love to take them off your hands.

I'm in the process of designing what i'm calling "The Persuasion Station". It's a cart that olds my drill press, my 105 year old anvil and vice, and will have room for my eventual bench grinder. Inside this cart, i'm going to have a small shop vac. Either a Stinger or a Buckethead (with a...

Starting about a year ago, every time I see my dad he brings me some of his old tools. I use to just think, awesome, more tools. Most of them are 1970's USA craftsman and snap-on stuff. I guess since becoming a father myself, I've started viewing this situation differently. It's no longer...

I have a 15 amp table saw. I'm looking at running it off of a power supply that has a 15 amp circuit breaker. Will that work? Or will it constantly be tripping the breaker?

My father has been storing this in his garage for the past few decades, waiting for my brother or I to have a place for it. Not pictured, but included are a grinding wheel and crank that fits inside the vice. And a board holder and pipe holder. Does anyone have any info on who made this...

My apologies if this has been covered, i did a search but didn't find what i was looking for. Has anyone installed motion-activated switches for their INTERIOR garage lighting? Not driveway stuff, but my overhead fluorescents banks. I'm considering it. Most of them that i've seen have a...

My name is Jeremy Sharp, from Dallas, TX. My wife and I have lived in our house since December of 2009. It's a 1450 sqft home, built in 1955. We love this house. Since we purchased it, we've remodeled just about everything. I've built almost all of the wood furniture that we've acquired...
