Box extenders are available, but there are many different ones, and not all stores that you may have access to have them; you just have to go hunting. If I were you, though, I would go wit a Wiremold metal system - extension box, wire channel, and another box - most wiremold boxes are capable...

That's what my old Jeepers Creeper looks like. That Magic Creeper is a slick little thing.

I have a Lisle that I acquired over fifty years ago, and it still works well. It's three wood planks on a metal frame with a cushion for your head, and metal disc wheels. Most of my younger days, I weighed about 220, and many is the time that that creeper carried me plus a transmission or...

I have an illuminated one on articulating arms clamped to the shelf above my bench, plus a couple of hand magnifiers in a drawer.

All of my working life I carried one or another of several pocket knives: Case, Gerber, Schrade. I still have the Gerber 3" drop point lockback folder that occupied my right pocket for some twenty years, and it is still just as sharp and useful. Others that I liked were a Scrade 3" Old Timer...

I'll go with the bump. Kroil; yes, I guess you could say I like the smell, at least much better than some other concoctions in that same vein. If I have a choice, I'll take Kroil and Hoppes #9 over anything else, though; they have been a part of my shop and tool boxes for many years.

A guy I used to know used some sort of medication for his migraines that was injected from a 3mL syringe with a needle about an inch and a half long; I got a couple of used syringes with the needles, cut the needles off a bit and cleaned up the burrs, cleaned the syringes with solvent, and use...

Apparently, the brand has been around for about fifty years or so. My only exposure to the brand was in the early eighties when Sears began selling the ratcheting box end wrenches, and one of the guys I worked with bought a set. The concept seemed like a handy one, but the wrenches did not...

It always seemed natural for me to put my left foot on the step plate, and work off of the right end, me being severely right handed and all; it helps add stability to the job at hand, or takes a bit of strain off of your back to stand that way, and I could really bear down on something that...

http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=92136&highlight=workmate Here. I have one, had it since '72, great tool in my estimation. Don't use it all the time, but when I need it, it's never let me down.

They should be available at your local home center or big box store; this on is at my local Lowe's, but there are many alternatives.

Depending on what sort of terrain you will be moving your setup around on, you need a cart with fairly large tires. The "off road" cart I used to use where I worked had 16" wheels that were about three inches wide and used a tire similar to a wheelbarrow tire only bigger; we had to drag it...

I was going to suggest the vinegar thing, too; scrub them with white vinegar and a medium coarse ScotchBrite pad, wash and dry well, prime with the recommended primer for your top coat, and paint a couple of coats or more.

Since all of the obvious "OMG"s have been stated, here's a different one: Imagine the rooster tail of sawdust that would come off of that blade.

Interesting. Good bit of innovation. I have always done all of my saws by hand with files and stones; hole saws are only different in that they go in a circle instead of straight.

I don't think so; they pre-date me by some years (I'm 74, now). The panels were probably factory made, but I doubt they were pre-fabbed as complete wall assemblies. They were most likely brought in kit style in pieces and assembled on site. They are bolted together; steel angle and channel...

That construction is very similar to some power substation and switchyard control buildings my former employer had on the system. Those were on the west coast, and the panels bolted to the framework were not as thick, made of a fiber (probably asbestos) mixed with portland cement. They had...

I think you may have come up against the "big brother" problem (see below, taken from the DeltaFaucet website). Our new Moen shower has the same problem, and it is from a government mandated flow restrictor in the cartridge assembly. Why does my new faucet have reduced flow? My old faucet had...

I hope you can get this resolved, kctyphoon, I always hated on the guys who tore up equipment from laziness, unconcern, or other bad attitude. I pulled a lot of poles with just a boom and never broke anything, but I also would not hesitate to get out the jack if I thought it was necessary; a...

Yes.
