All I found this pen the other day in the Entropy Lab, stuck in the Lubrico can of writing tools -- it was a gift from a friend at an HD dealership, years ago -- I though one or two of you might get a kick out of it!

All After reading the posts regarding the garage door insulation kits available at Lowes, I checked out the availability of said kits via the intertubes -- no joy -- no Lowes within about 50 miles of me stocked the kits. Bummer. However, over the weekend, my errands had me going right past...

Gents -- I've got a 1/2 ratchet, marked "P&C," inside a diamond-like shape . . . . It's head is open to the elements . . . . and is worn a little bit (it works fine until you really lean on the old guy, then has a tendancy to skip teeth at three or four places around the circumpherance...

All -- I straightened up the roll cab the other day, and realized I have no clue what these things may be -- First is a Craftman 3/8 ratchet -- Marked, oddly enough, "Craftsman" on one side And "Forged in the U. S. A." on the other ON the same side, there is what appears to be a...

I was out wandering in the ENtropy Lab the other night, and saw this old nail on the shelf . . . . it had been left in the garage of a house we had 15 years ago or so . . . .. IMG]http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb245/bomber60015/IMG_1177.jpg[/IMG] No test leads, instructions, or hints...

I used to wander antique stores and gun shows, looking for interesting knives (mostly split-spring whittlers, but I'm a sucker for most anything unusual), and, if there was nothing else of interest, I'd paw through the small "Swiss Army Knives." Quotation marks, as many of these lil gems are...

All -- while many of you have high-tech, LED work lights in your shops (AKA, drop lights, as that's what I seem to do most with em), many other, I'm sure, have old fashioned lights with the little cage inside of which the incandescent bulb lives, until you drop it, of course, at which time it's...

All A post in the lighting section of the board got me thinkin . . . . .. . My wife and I are BIG fans of Arts & Crafts architecture -- plans for our house (a modest ranch, which has the benefit of being a nice blank canvas) including redoing the exterior to be a bit more Arts & Craft-like --...

All -- I've been condiering grabbing an Eastwood Stitch Welder to do some patching on the Model A -- 18 GA steel -- Any cheers or jeers on this unit? Thanks!

After being a lazy son of a gun for way too long, I'm just about ready to pull the body off of teh 31 Ford Model A Roadster in our motorpool -- Once it's off the frame, I need a support for the body itself to weld, pound, and otherwise abusing the poor dear . . . . Home built and cheap is...

I've boosted the title of this thread from another board I frequent (advrider) . . . WHile I truely admire many of the garages and shops on this board, and the people that make them happen, I'm thinkin there are members of vcarying means here -- not everyone can afford vintage Snap-On tools to...

I've got a completely unidentified 18X7 foot door that's in decent shape -- It's thin steel (havn't measured it, but would guess somewhere around 1/32 thick) -- I'm a huge fan of natural light, and would like to add some windows to it -- Any suggestions are welcome, though I won't be...

I somehow missed this thread -- I am convered in ribbons of shame therefor. I'm a motorcyclist, knifemaker, and very beginning level machinist (it's good to keep learning things) . . . . . I've got a 20 X 30 garage in the northern-Chicago suburbs (about half way between the Loop and the state...

all -- I've seen dustcollectors that our woodworking brothers use to catch the output of their tools (table saws, routers, and the like) I have a bench grinder and a belt grinder (think a belt sander on steroids) -- I'd love to be able to have a vacuum powered colelctor to ****** up at least...
