https://boise.craigslist.org/tls/d/weiser-sold-anvils-one-fisher-and-one/7478799721.html I saw this locally on Craigslist today. Of course I was not the lucky recipient. In case the URL stops working this was the text from the cragslist ad: ***SOLD*** 2 Anvils one Fisher and one Peddinghaus...

At an auction two days ago I bought this belt sander for $215. I didnt look it up before buying I just knew it had to be worth every bit of that after seeing the 3/16" thick steel base and housing and 1hp Baldor motor and not many scratches. I got it home and looked it up on the internet and the...

I got 15 of these which were included in a lot with other electrical stuff at an auction. They have great switches if nothing else. But does anyone know what the purpose of these is/was? Obviously ex military but just curious as to what they were used for if anyone knows. Thank you!

I picked up 8 of these casters for $10 apiece. All are duplicates to the one in the picture. They swivel 360 degrees and lock in any certain position with a spring loaded locking pin and also have a foot brake. They are about 10" tall. Came off some military apparatus. Some sort of rack. I took...

A Pexto circle shear fell into my lap more or less and I have no use for it so will sell it. It is rated for 20 gauge. Ive never used one and don't have a use for this especially with it having a rating of only 20 gauge. I can see a real use for one being able to cut 10 gauge or 3/16 so one...

Is anyone familiar with these Schrader bellows pneumatic valves? I have one on the back of a Chicago sheet metal brake which runs two air cylinders for the top clamping. Well the valve has two parts on top with a led on the top of each one. One of those LED's recently illuminated. Does anyone...

Here is a security door I finished this week for my shop. Ive been meaning to build one for a couple years now (ever since I built this shop) and finally got around to it. If someone broke in they would have an absolute hayday and for me an absolute nightmare so this brings me much peace of...

Someone gave me these gutters which Id like to hang on the shop but am really not sure how they are supposed to work. They are not like other brackets Ive seen on other buildings Ive looked at. Ill make my own brackets for them if I cant get this figured out so thought Id ask on here if anyone...

No I didn't cut my finger off, but... six months ago I was moving my jet 1018w bandsaw with a forklift when the cord fell down and went under the tires which of course ripped the cord right out of the saw. Awesome. Ive needed it many a time since but used other cutting methods until I got a new...

Wear those safety glasses fellas!

I started a thread related to this under the electrical section but this is a bit different question so Im posting here for this one. I have three 14" chop saws. 2 makitas and 1 dewalt, all 15 amp. I have used them at my house and at 2 different shops. At all three locations they trip the...

So I am no electrician by a long shot, about the most I do is put receptacles in the walls and put new cords into electric tools. My issue is when I start my chop saw it trips the 20 amp breaker. All 3 of my chop saws (2 makitas and 1 dewalt) are all 15 amp saws. I realize the starting load is...

I will be putting up an I beam in my shop for a trolley. The beam is 8" x 4" with a .25" web and is 16' long between posts. Most of the time it would only be moving loads around 300 pounds but occasionally (rarely) Id move something around 1000 pounds. With a span of 16' can I safely move 1000...

I was putting in 5.5" 3/8 lag screws through some boards lagging them to studs. I was drilling a hole first of course then with my biggest Milwaukee hammer drill (not on hammer mode) attempted to screw the lags in but after going in about 4" or so it would bog the Milwaukee down. Its a pretty...

This rack I built from 16 gauge sheet. It is 8' long. Im moving into the new shop and wow what a chore trying to get everything organized!

I recently purchased a hotsy pressure washer at auction model 555ss. It has a burner on it to heat the water. I have not had a chance to hook up water to it to try it out mainly because its so cold outside and the hoses are all froze up but I did turn the pump on for a second and it works. Only...

I was helping my folks with an addition to their house which is close to 100 years old. I cut a piece out of the wall where the door would go and gave it a good kick to knock it over and when that small part of the wall fell over a penny came flying up out of the wall right in front of me. It...

I have an item I cut on the cnc table from 3/8" thick mild steel which is about 2' wide and 10' long. When I pulled it off the table I didn't notice a bow but it must have been there. In any case it has a bow of about a 3/8" raise in center. I laid it on the welding table and clamped the piece...

Awhile back I saw a thread somewhere (not even sure if it was on this site) of punches and dies people had made for their presses from sockets and other tools. Does that thread ring a bell to anyone? if not what kind of attachments have you made for attaching to your press for punching/forming...

As stated in the title what is the intended use of this clamp?
