There are a lot of fortunate people on this forum with a beautiful garage and a huge selection of tools to match. I imagine, though, that there is a good number of people in a situation like mine: without a true garage and trying to make do with the little space they have. It's these that I am...

Howdy y'all! Hey, I am looking into setting up a decent casting setup but, before I drop too much money on it, I was wondering if I could off set the costs by selling on off castings. To see how practical this is what you would be willing to pay for a one off cast aluminum part? Assume that it...

So the idea is just to let people post pics of their all time favorite workshops, work stations, or garages. Looking for inspiration.

Hey ya'll, So me and my brother are restoring a 1968 ford mustang coupe and the floor pans are completely gone. We are working on the passenger side first and have replaced the torque box and are know working on replacing the floor pan. My question is what is the best way to cut out a floor pan...

Hi there. Got a quick question. I have an oxy-act torch that I bought used and all of the o-rings are missing. I thought I would try to use it until I got weird popping sounds and the tools would go out. Well I guess that I will replace the rings but I thought I'd ask, do they need to be a...

Got a quick question for any airplane mechanics out there. Me and my brother borrowed a differential compression tester to use on an engine after we cleaned up the valves and got them seating good. We wanted to use it to test if the rings were bad without putting everything back together. The...

Hi Ya'll! So I was wondering which one is more important for a hobby machinist, a lathe or a mill or perhaps even some sort of combo. Any feed back would be great!

Hi Ya'll! So I was browsing c-list and came across this for $40. Is it a good tool box restoration project? Also do you have any info about this specific box?

Howdy Ya'll, I was just wondering what you guys do to a tool after you are done with it for the day. Is it a quick wipe with an oily rag, a careful clean and lub? I know that it is a bit vague but I don't have any one tool in mind just through out what you do.

Forgive me if there is already a thread like this but would someone mind explaining why you need a set of chrome and impact sockets? Why can you not just get the impact sockets and forget about the chrome?

I was in town with some time to kill, so what better way to blow it then chill at the local lowes's tool department (not great but the best I can do in my little ol' town). Now I am a seventeen year old so that is not the 'normal thing to do but hey, I love tools! Anyhow, I keep getting...
