    Tubing that will fit tightly into another piece of tubing

    I dont know if I just missed it when reading this but I know you can get 2"receiver tubing which is the same as what is on hitches and it doesnt have the weld inside of it and 2" tubing fits inside of perfectly. The draw back is it isnt cheap. One easy way is to buy an hitch extension and wack...

    Tool Box Wax

    I have never seen/smelled any like that, lucky I guess. But I would say it is close. The stuff I have messed with is oily smelling but not bad. Some of the stuff that comes on bits and what not will not remelt. But some of the green honda stuff will. I think it depends on the chemical make up...

    Tool Box Wax

    Sorry thought that would clear some of it up. It takes a higher temp to melt it then what you would get in ambaint air, now in direct sunlight in the Sahara it might melt. The way the tap and die set was done, was to melt it to a liquid and pour into the metal case till it was about half full...

    Tool Box Wax

    It melts like wax but when its solid it is kinda more like a greasy plastic then candle wax. I know it comes on some router bits and carbide burrs and I have even seen it on honda hubs as of late (green color junk you have to cut off) I think covering sharp stuff was its first use but then...

    Tool Box Wax

    That is the way I would do it. I asked my dad and thats what he did but then did some triming with a razor knife to fine tune it. I would line the drawer with plastic wrap before doing it so it woud come back out and for the little holes in draws so it doesnt leak out before it starts to gel up.

    Tool Box Wax

    I dont think I would personaly do a whole drawer with it but I can see a use for it. Tap and die or other machining tools, chisels. I wouldnt do it for wrenchs or any thing else like that because I do body work and wouldnt want extra oils floating around something I might have to paint

    Own Tools or employer equipment?

I should have about 10 hrs in the...

    Tool Chest Layout? How do you organize yours...

    You know I never really thought about how I had mine organized. I know I have moved stuff around at least 10 different times, sometimes because of new tools sometimes because of new toolboxes. The best thing I found for me is to start putting stuff in it and start using it and see if it works...
