Happy Thanksgiving to the Garage Journal family! Tommy

I found this old Blackhawk bottle jack behind a storage cabinet we moved at work today. My boss knows about my love of old things so he told me to take it home. I didn't find the handle for it (yet), but the one I got with my Uncle's old Sears bottle jack works fine. It still needs to be...

How come when I make a Post with a quote from another post that has pictures, the pictures don't show on my post? Tommy

I just got an older Littlestown #112 vise for cheap. It clamps straight, the swivel works well & the screw and handles are straight. I'm OK with doing the basic clean up, but I'm open for ideas on how to resurface the removable jaws pads. There's next to no teeth on them. Tommy

Hello, all! I found your site through a link on Malibu Racing.com and decided I really needed to join. I don't have anywhere near as big or amazing of a garage as some of the ones I've seen here so far. It's only about 18' x 20', but it's a good size for one project car, a bench & some work...
