I need to install a switch in my dining room wall for a hanging light fixture. The only reasonable location on the dining room wall happens to be on the opposite side of an existing switch in the kitchen. See the first pic. When looking up codes for back to back electrical boxes the language...

I’m on another forum and I’m putting together a group buy on UltraGauges. This device plugs into your OBDII port (usually under your dash, left of the driver) and displays a startling amount of data, i.e. current MPG, Avg MPG, temps, pressures, fault codes and a whole lot of other stuff. Check...

I was having my truck looked at and while sitting in the waiting room of the repair shop looked down next to my chair and saw what's in the pic. I have no idea if the wires are/were hot but it just seemes like a very bad idea to have a mess of exposed wires rolled up and laying next to the metal...

What is this new ****** mallet symbol? This thing started appearing on a few threads this morning, but not all. What does a ****** mallet symbol mean?! :wtf:

I got this ad in email and the 44" box is on sale for $359. Looking closer I noticed a thumbnail pic of the casters and it looks like the spring caster that's on their big 72" box. Anyone know if the've revamped this box to include this new caster? Any other changes?

I already have a bench top and don't really have room for another... Looks like it's missing the motor pulley. Not sure how difficult it is to find one of those? Really not sure why I'm posting - either to talk myself into buying it or seeing if someone in Cen Cal needs one?

So I'm going to use unfinished white oak for my work/laundry room counters (I'll sand and finish in place). These will be on kitchen cabinets that I've already put down 2 layers of OSB. My plan was to use 3/4 x 5" planks, however I'm finding these are not readily available, even though the local...

I'm going to use oak hardwood flooring for my workshop counters. I'm in the process of laying the "subfloor" now (see pic), but am unsure of which direction to run the oak on the shorter sections of the U shape. Any suggestions or pics of something like this already done? Thanks!

1/3HP and comes with a stand. Looks like the switch has been replaced. What are your general thoughts on this one, i.e. age, condition, etc...? Asking $45. I have one that looks somewhat similar except for the end covers and mine has "ports" at the back for sparks.

Gotta love the Clist adds that list the price as a dollar then in the text say "make offer" with no real price. This guy has this vise listed in my local Clist just that way. It's been in there for weeks. Thought about calling just to see, but it's a ways away and didn't want to bother. So as...

Found this one on Craigslist today. Not much of a description. Model number? Value?

Found this on Craigslist and thought it would be a good resto project to go along with my Craftsman King Seeley drill press and Cman block grinder, but is it worth the $50 he's asking? Says it runs good, just surface rust on the table... What do you guys think?

The last few Vises I've tried to buy from Craigslist hasn't worked out (some flaky folks in the world), so I keep on looking. This is the latest one and they are asking $75. It says "Shop King" with a crown on the side, as well as "Wilton, Chicago 14, USA". 4" jaw. In the world of Wiltons...

I am in the middle of a garage remodel and thought it would be a good idea to mount a gable fan above my garage door with a fan timer switch to move air through the garage. Small garage gets very hot, especially when I pull the car in. In the attached pic you can see the spot for it - centered...

I've been searching for a Wilton bullet vice I can restore but am not having any luck locally. I found this one for $40 but can't read the manufacturer. It does say U.S.A. on it. Does anyone recognize the maker? Any thoughts on the price? I'm not in a hurry to get one but wouldn't want to miss a...

I may have an opportunity to buy this vice next week. What do you guys think it's worth? Do you know the model # (can't make it out in the pic but will be able to ask next week)? Not that I need this right now but after being a member here and reading all of your posts I've gotten hooked on...

So I picked up this library card catalog off craigslist the other day to use as bolt, screw, misc. hardware storage, etc... and am trying to figure out what type of wood it is made of. I've Googled images of different species but have not found any grains that look similar. I thought maybe Alder...

Found this library card catalog on Craigslist and am contemplating making an offer on it. I'd much rather have this in my garage to hold hardware than the plastic bin thing I bought from Harbor Freight. What I find interesting is the Remington Rand name/company. Seems like they did a lot of...

My first time making a poll so let's see if this works...

I bought an aluminum locker on Craigslist and want to clean it up a bit. I used some Brasso and while that did clean some grime off of it, it didn't get rid of those runs on the upper door and other stuff. I also tried some stainless steel polish. What can I use to clean this thing up?
