    What to replace a blow molded socket case with?

    I'm a DIYer and this probably won't work for you. I separated my 1/4. 3/8, and 1/2 socket sets into the Sears truck boxes. I use plastic socket rails and made holders for the ratchet and extensions. I just have the essentials, not a 100% socket set in these. The hinges are "real" hinges...

    While I have not read that book, I am aware of the "King's Trees" story. White pine has quite a history in Michigan and I am proud that my career resulted in tens of thousands of tree seedlings reforesting Michigan over the past decades. Carry on sir - but beware that unmarked black...

    I fear that somebody (politician?) is going to find out how much fun and practicality your project is and they will find a way to tax or otherwise regulate it, LOL.

    Best base to buy (magnetic or clamping) for dial indicator to check rotor runout during brake jobs?

    I have the Harbor Freight model and it works just fine. I only maintain one vehicle, so if I have to fiddle with a cheap unit a bit every few years, no big deal. My intent is to i.d. a bad rotor (maybe hub) out of the box and/or to index the rotor to the hub to achieve the runout below the...

    Considering an AC floor jack

    Man, your delivery experience was about 10,000% better than my Hein Werner experience 1 year ago. The second, better attempt:

    Sawmill

    I shared with RivennHewn that our local large University has a portable sawmill used to mill salvaged campus trees. The program has multiple facets: repurpose downed trees, sustainability/recycling, etc.. The products produced are mostly over-priced and aimed at creating a "pet rock" type of...

    Looking for a safe assembly type of lube for rubber o rings, coolant hoses etc.

    Just some unhelpful comments: The post showing the can of SuperLube with chart - be careful because the chart is for silicone grease and the can is their synthetic lube. Different products with different compatibilities. I.e., the synthetic Super Lube is not EPDM compatible. Also of...

    I enjoy your updates. Beautiful sawmill work. A few years ago I scoffed at the idea of battery chainsaws and some other tools. Not anymore. Thank you.

    Recommend a used transmission fluid exchange machine

    LOL, the OP hasn't received much assistance to his question, and I won't be able to help either. Discussing transmission care is not unlike politics. You see lots of bias and misinformation. Good luck OP.

    has klein went down hill ?

    Did you notice that the lettering on the right side of your "better aligned" pair is less opaque than the left side? Better alignment, less visibility! Just can't win. While a non-issue for me, I am also concerned when quality control appears to be slipping. I remember when Ideal plier...

    Chainsaw sharpener!

    Read my answer above from 8 years ago. Then, decide if you want to spend up to $150 (Chinese Amazon) or up to $350 (Oregon-Amazon). You'll have to do some internet searching to find experienced reviews of the sub-$150 Chinese ones.

    Very cool. Decades ago in forestry school, I remember being taught that the entire success of a mill depended on the head sawyer's skill (before computers, lasers, etc.). The pressure is on now, LOL. Lots to learn, for sure. Have fun. Watch for nails!
