Picked all this up the other day for $65. Pretty much all good USA made stuff. Anybody recognize the intermediate box? I don't see any stampings anywhere. It looks to be pretty old. I didn't snap a pic of the handles but they're the chrome hinged deals. Sent from my BBB100-1 using The Garage...

Not really a tool, but sort of? If you need a shop fan, keep an eye out for one of these - they made a ton of them - super cool looking (I think) and they really move some air. I just finished this one. New wiring, start cap, low speed resistor, new fiber washers in the motor and some fresh...

I have a 24x36 detached three car garage. Currently the only juice running to it is a 15A breaker in the main house panel and a hunk of romex buried about 2" deep going out to the garage. All the lights and outlets are run off of this one circuit. I'm SURE there is a huge voltage drop, as the...

I have this thing mounted to the front of my 4-post: http://www.harborfreight.com/2000-lb-capacity-geared-winch-5798.html It's a total piece of garbage. I use my 1/2" dewalt cordless drill with an 18mm socket and I can tell I'm working the drill really hard. It doesn't have the power to pull...

So I picked this DP up a month or so ago and did a clean up/resto on it (left the original paint), but I knew in my mind that I really wanted to slow it down since most of my work is with metal. I went through a couple of different variations in my head on how to do it before I ordered the...

So I've got a detached three car and I've been wanting to trench from the house, upgrade the electrical service and run a gas line out there for a heater. Been wanting to do this for years, literally. Currently the only thing running out there is a length of 12 gauge romex buried about 3"...

For sale locally... I realize it's missing two of the handles and the engine turned trim piece on front. Also looks like the quill is all the way down, shouldn't it be spring loaded? Other than that it looks to be in pretty good shape. And can anyone ID it? Is it an 80, 100 or a 150? Pics...

Hey guys, I've already one of the HF trans adapters to convert your floor jack into a trans jack. I've got my four post set up now and would like a high lift trans jack to make things easier. Since I've already got the adapter, I'd just need the gigantic cylinder and I could weld up a base...

This guy: http://www.lowes.com/pd_221495-14989-LLA1683066_0__?productId=3115861 I can't find it stock within 100 miles of me. I recently bought this one: http://www.lowes.com/pd_53661-1126-VT6361_?PL=1&productId=3370354 ...and it won't start with air in the tank - I'm assuming bad unloader...

So as to avoid drilling any more holes in my 3x3 1/2" plate welding cabinet top, I opted for a second HF 7-drawer side cab to mount my drill press and grinder on. A set of used $10 casters, two hunks of 2x4, and two hunks of 3/4" ply I had laying around... I find myself upgrading things all...

Anybody got one? This one is local to me and they want $150 for it. I've got a 10" craftsman which is ok but I want something better. Is this a good one? <img src="http://www.interschola.com/template/itemimages/25000s/25564/balt21b_012.jpg"> Is it me or does it look like the spindle is all...

Trying to finish putting together a set of raised panel SK 12pt combo wrenches. I need: 5/16 3/8 9/16 8mm 12mm

There's on on CL near me, would make a good addition to my big Columbian 504 1/2. The guy is asking $175. Good deal, or at least fair? Here are a couple of pics from the ad: <img src="http://images.craigslist.org/3n93md3la5T15W55S3b79b61108292ed61744.jpg"> <img...

Last year I got a Direct Lift four post lift, but with my 8' ceilings and conventional trusses, couldn't really do much with it. So I vaulted the center bay of my 24x36 detached three car garage by installing two LVL's, a double 2x12 ridge beam and 2x8 rafters, and then removing the three...

This heavy steel cabinet/cart thing was in my shop when we moved into the house: The top is about 3' by 3', I currently use it to store all my electric power tools, and my drill press is bolted to the top. I want to use it as a welding table - problem is the top has about 1/2" of upward bow...

Not sure if anyone has done anything like this before, but I'll share... Anybody who has or had an oilless compressor will tell you how loud they are. My vertical 30 gallon craftsman gives me a headache in about ten seconds flat. I picked up this speedaire off of craigslist last night for...

Been wanting to ditch my POS 30 gal craftsman oil(air)less compressor. Found this one about 45 miles away from me. I can't find any info on Cole compressors online, but I did find one other for sale online that had dual Quincy pumps on it. Can anyone tell what kind of pump is on this one...
