Thanks for all the input. I will provide some more details and where we are. When we started to look for a home I was not hung up on the requirement of no HOA. I knew it would be easier to get the garage I wanted without an HOA and we just happened to find this house that supposedly had no...

Lots of great responses, and difficult choices for us to make. The house is very close to being our dream home, it will be our dream home once we make the changes we want to make. The HOA is active, my realtor emailed them and they replied back very quickly. They say the membership fee is...

We searched for a house for months and had given up and decided to wait a couple of years to save up more money for our expensive area. Out of the blue we found an affordable house with almost everything we wanted on our wishlist. In a rush to get our house on the market during the hot selling...

I have several choices with the truck rental but I am not sure which way to go and could use some input. I can either rent a truck from u-haul or penske that has a ramp, or I could rent a truck from Enterprise that has a lift gate but no ramp. My dilemma is that I think for 99% of my stuff the...

Move is short, about a 10 min drive. I have a 10'x10' storage unit filled with boxes, work tables, tools, and other misc. stuff from the house. I have a 1 car garage filled with boxes, the tool box, and work benches. And finally, I have all my mountain bikes, dirtbike, and camping stuff in a...

I have some stuff already in storage but the heavy items are in the garage and will be moved from my 1 car to my new home. I will look into renting a truck with a liftgate and see how much more that will cost me than a regular moving truck. Thanks for the tips and keep them coming if you have...

Hi, I will be closing on a house on July 31st and will need to move everything out of my current 1 car garage. I have a 56" harbor freight tool chest filled with tools as well as 4 pegboards with hanging tools. In addition, the usual things like a big jack, jackstands, creeper, oil pans, and a...

I want to do the same thing, what grit did you end up using? Thanks

Took a look and it's in pretty good shape except that the chuck is welded to the shaft. It also needs a return spring. I checked the runout on the chuck and it's .004 so I could run it like that until I decide tto fix the chuck. I offered the guy 150 and he is going to think about it...

Thanks guys, nothing like having a group of drill press consultants holding my hand through the process. If I like what I see I will buy it tomorrow. I will report back.

Great info, lot's to look into. Does anyone know the total height of this beast? I want to make sure that if I buy it I can fit it in the back of my truck. Thanks

Thanks for all the input. I should say that 3/8" plate is the upper limit of what I plan to drill on occasion. I will be drilling .120 wall tubing (round and square) regularly. Probably 3/8" holes max, 1/4" regularly. Where can I find the pulleys to slow this thing down? I want to have a...

I am going to check out an old delta drill press this week. The owner can't seem to tell me anything about it. Can you guys tell what model this is? I am looking for a drill press to use in my garage that will drill up to 3/8" plate hot rolled steel. Can I slow this thing down enough to do...

This is a great question. I have a 1 car garage that will NEVER have a car in it. I have to work in the driveway and would like a good method of taking tools out there. I was also eying the harbor freight cart and would like to hear everyone's take on what tools should go in the cart.

Can you share what manufacturer and model reels those are and how you like them so far? Thanks

Bench looks great and has inspired me. Questions for you: - How did you get the boxes into the frame you made? Did you slide them in from the front, top, rear? - How heavy were the toolboxes when the drawers were removed? Was it more than a 2 man operation to move the boxes into the frame...

Questions about this 56" box: What is the cheapest it has been seen selling for? How much does it weigh without the drawers? I want to build a steel workbench around this box and need to know if I need a pallet jack to mount it in the steel structure or if I can take the drawers out and put...

Any updates on this? I have a TM70B I would like to update.
