    Advising a friend setting up a man-cave

    How do I comment about him in a nice way? .. He is not the college type. And if you think about it, joining a community like this and asking for help is a way of saying "I don't know everything". Some people don't like to admit that. In this forum the wise old ones have done things, made...

    Advising a friend setting up a man-cave

    Good thoughts, this will help. as for the cabinets, I just want to make sure he has two large ones for Polisher and battery charger, not all small drawers. But we will need some small ones for a basic set of hand tools, DVM, torque wrench, code reader. You all have helped. Thanks

    Advising a friend setting up a man-cave

    20 feet high, so there will be a mezzanine/ the upstairs where the golf sim, tv and bar are. Also going to install 2 lifts to increase the storage capacity. I think the lifts are electric, so no need to have hydraulic oil on hand, but any other maintenance items we might need for electric ones...

    Show your new tool arrivals

    That dial indicator looks great. I stumbled upon a dial indicator stand last week for a price I could not turn down even though I don't really need it. Too bad the brand names don't match up. And Eclipse is from England, so there's that problem. I have a tool-buying problem.

    What does a person use for the mat between the bottom and top box? I think I have an old carpet runner in use at the moment. I should probably get the proper rubber or whatever that is in your RH setup. Advice anyone? Thanks

    Show your MAC Chest and Rollaway Combinations (MB510 and MB520)

    I'm glad to see other MAC guys. At the time, in the 70's, I was brand loyal to MAC, but over time, I found myself liking and buying the tools that do the job. When you say tank, that is a compliment, right? I'd love to buy a Snapon stack from the same era to use just to the left of this current...
