    The Perfect Man Cave

    I would do it if I could afford it. But as a couple other guys have said, it's nicer than the house I live in.

    \"THE\" Watch Shop

    Re: \"THE\" Watch Shop Interesting video. I would guess that these guys are becoming harder and harder to find with each passing year. I haven't worn a watch myself in years. They didn't last long on me. The work I do just isn't kind to watches, chains and other such stuff. We are surrounded by...

    Boxes Of Wood

    Hi Ralf. Thanks for the link. He has some nice stuff. I bought a box from Gerstner's web site this morning. They are having a mid summer sale right now and there are some good savings to be had. I have always wanted a nice chest and I figured I would go ahead and do it as the day will come when...

    Boxes Of Wood

    Nice work. Looks like a brand new chest. That's what I'm hoping to find. Something used that I can make a project of refurbishing.

    Boxes Of Wood

    I would love to find one of these at a yard sale or something. Could not afford a genuine Gerstner. Princess Auto used to sell a small version. Looked very similar to the small chest that Harbor freight still offers. The one at Princess Auto was not of very good quality ,though. One of these...

    How To Chose The Tools You Need In 1957

    Snap on makes nice stuff, no doubt about it. I can't justify the price though. I buy Mastercraft Maximum brand marketed by Canadian Tire. The tools feel just as nice in my hand and are covered by a lifetime warranty. I have only had to get one piece replaced and I just took it to customer...

    Garage Art

    I love Texaco stuff. Just can't justify the cost of the real thing so I satisfy myself with reproduction stuff. Looks nice in my garage and didn't put me in the poor house. My Uncle had a Texaco station back in the 50's. Who would have imagined that the stuff that went in the daily garbage...

    Vintage Lift

    I love old ads. I spend hours looking at old magazines like Mechanix Illustrated and Popular Mechanics, etc. I guess most guys know about it by now , but if not, check out the Popular Science archive explorer. It lets you look at every page of almost every issue of Popular Science magazine right...

    Bangkok Thailand - My Garage2010

    Does anyone know where I could find a model like the one in the first post...the car on the lift with the tool chest, tanks, etc. ? I'm not seeing anything like it in my Summit Racing catalog. I love scale detailed stuff like that. That sure is an awesome garage the man has over there.

    Jack Stand Storage

    Great idea. Looks like it would be quick and simple to make and he would always know where the stands were. That guy has done a lot of great work in his shop. The whole thing is over 300 pages long but it's good reading. I'm getting through it a little at a time.

    Vintage Black & Decker Drill

    Re: Vintage Black & Decker Drill It's long gone now but that looks like the very first electric drill I ever had . I got it for Christmas when I was 12. I remember it had a 1/4 " chuck on it, which at that time was big enough. I remember getting a set of bits with it. A box with I think maybe...
