I had my co truck in the shop the other night and the mechanic showed me his new light. It worked really nice and he said it holds up for several hrs. I looked it up but $72.00 was a little more than I could go for it. Have you guys seen anything like this out there that might be a little less...

I am learning him to do wood turning on a lathe. I need to get a bench grinder to sharpen some of the tools. I don't know how I have gone this long with out one. I have been unable to find one on craigslist. It would be nice to find an old Baldor that is almost free but I know that's not going...

I wanted to buy some carbide tools for wood turning but they were in the $130.00 dollar range and I needed at least 4 of them to get started. I figured I could make my own so I bought the 4 cutting bits that I needed for $60.00 and a piece of 1/2x1/2 square steel for $6.00. I started grinding...

I am looking for some advice on a wood lathe. I want to learn how to do bowl turning. I don't need anything to big to do spindles or or long pieces. Something made from Jet would probably work as I have had good luck with their stuff. Any advice from you wood turners out there? Thanks,Ed

I am wondering if any of you guys have seen the new Milwaukee tool boxes at Home Depot and what do you think of them? I am in the market for a new box and this seems like a good deal and would fit perfectly in my shop. I really like the lid on the top box. It has the outlets for battery...

The Grizzly tent sale is in 2 weeks and I am wondering if any of you people have ever gone to it. I want to purchase a drum sander and a dust collector.Its about a 6 hr drive for me plus will cost about $ 100.00 in gas. I will save money on the shipping plus I don't mind a road trip now and...

I have a 1hp Jet band saw that I bought new about 20 years ago. I used it a couple of times for maybe an hr total. It has sat in my cellar for all these years until I built my work shop, then it sat in there unused until last year when a co-worker asked me to cut out a Pinewood derby car for his...

I know this is a popular topic with many great ideas and opinions but is any one familiar with the Grizzly, Jet, or other brand of wall mounted 1HP dust collectors? I have found a few used dust collectors on CL but some are 2 to 3 hrs away. They are between $ 150.00 and $ 250.00. They are the...

I have been doing some more wood working projects in my work shop lately and I think its time for a dust collection system. I usually wheel the table saw, Planer, chop saw, etc. outside and try to keep the dust out there but that makes a mess out there also. Its getting tougher in northern N.Y...

I would like to make some cutting boards for Christmas Presents. I was wondering what you guys use for glue to glue the wood together. Do you use biscuits? I have been told to use Tite-Bond 3 and just glue and clamp them together. What type of wood do you use, obviously hard wood? I would like...

I saw some LED lights at Costco. They were on a little stand, the kind painters would use. They were $34.00 a piece. They were made by Snap-On, or so the box says. I wonder if any of you guys have used these. I do not have a Costco in NY so if there is a problem with them, I would have no where...

I will be traveling out west in the very near future and will be going by several Menard's stores. I am in the market for a new tool chest (top). I am wondering if anyone has their brand " Masterforce" tool box and what your opinion is of them. I realize they are not Snap-on or Matco but at...

I just got home and in the mailbox was the new ratchet that I ordered from HJE. I ordered it on Thurs afternoon and it was here today. I am now a fan of them like others that are on here. The price was the cheapest I could find. I call that great service. I really needed another 3/8 ratchet to...

I was searching for some auto parts cabinets and came across some real nice ones in the Portland Oregon Craigs List. I do not know how to put a link up so you will have to get there on your own. They look real nice and thought some of you north west guys might be interested, Ed.

I have a Snap-on folding side shelf that I do not use any more. It is in good shape and will fit most tool boxes. Send me a message if you are interested in it and we can discuss it. Thanks, Ed.

I have a Snap-on side shelf for a tool box that I do not use any more. It is model KRA 412 A. It folds down when not in use. It is in real good shape. If someone is interested, send me a message and we can discuss price and other details, Ed.

I happened to look at CL while waiting to leave for a Dr. appt and found this cabinet for sale. I contacted the person selling it and it was a mile from where the Dr. office. I went there and it was in good shape. She took $60.00 for it. I can't wait to get it cleaned up and put it with the...

The past couple of trucks that I have owned have had aluminum wheels with small hubcaps just covering the wheel lugs. There is a small slot that you insert the end of the lug wrench to pry off the center cap. I have seen several wheels that are gouged and the plastic caps all scraped up. I...

I went down to a Kenworth dealer today to pick up a truck. The truck was parked in the back and there was a door to get in to the shop. I went in through the door and there were 4 beautiful tool boxes, all different colors and makes. Cornwell, Mac, Snap-on, and Matco. I was talking to one of the...
