    Nice video find of hand built cabin

    I saw the entire film on pbs one day a few years ago. I didn't know what it was ahead of time, but I was instantly mesmerized.

    Birmingham, AL people, how hard was it to build your shop?

    This is good information. Thank you. Did you encounter specific design restrictions, setback restrictions, etc? I plan to get a permit for all work, but the permit department doesn't have info posted on basic parameters. I'm also nervous about HOAs. I can't tell how restrictive the HOA is...

    Birmingham, AL people, how hard was it to build your shop?

    I'm going to be moving to the Birmingham, McCalla, Hoover area in the next month and I'm not seeing any places with a good shop, other than unfinished basements. Those of you from the area, what kind of restrictions should I be aware of when considering a build? Is a full, unfinished basement...

    Custom One-Off Roof Rack Build for a BMW 2002

    It looks beautiful. How much does it weigh, and how much weight so you think it will support?

    Quick and dirty cheap welding cart

    Does the side door of the welder open up enough for you to read the chart on the inside? Is it awkward to change spools?

    Miniature Abrasive Saw Modifications

    That looks really nice. That also looks like a ton of work to be able to cut some tubing.

    Garage sale find: Bonney, proto, snap-on, indestructo

    Yeah, I can't even blame autocorrect on that one. I was just working off of memory and that sounded pretty good at the time.

    What kind of socket is this?

    I think you may be right. I also think I have the ratchet that goes with these. I found this pic online of the sockets and ratchet.

    What kind of socket is this?

    I found a few of these when I was cleaning out my family's garage. I didn't notice the hexagonal input until I started going through the box I had these in. Can anyone identify? Markings are "made in USA" and 18mm

    I'd prefer to work through PM because this isn't a classified ad. I may also just make an ad (if I have enough posts for that) for the onesies and twosies I end up not wanting. PM sent btw.

    Thanks for the info. I noticed the triangle on the handles of the screwdrivers and connected that to Triangle Tool, but I couldn't get any more than that.

    Any idea of the production dates on the Bonney stuff? My neighbor said his dad purchased the whole thing as a set a long time ago. He said a friend or neighbor of the family sold the tools. Neighbor is 62 years old.

    Garage sale find: Bonney, proto, snap-on, indestructo

    Thanks guys. I'm looking through the part numbers and trying to place a price on these items. I figure if I sell a couple of the ones I'm not interested in that should cover the cost of the set.

    Garage sale find: Bonney, proto, snap-on, indestructo

    My neighbor gave me first looks on some stuff he's going to sell in a garage sale. He's done this before and I've been able to pick up some deals on craftsman boxes and things. He always had a set of tools that he wouldn't sell. Well I guess he's downsizing the house to an apartment and won't be...
