From the archives----when I was lettering a restored truck for an ice cream shop. I hope I smoothed out that curve in the 'S'----I think I did! :S

Several of my hand-lettered signs are now available. Sorry----pick-up only!!! Bad experience with shipping and I am not doing that anymore!!

Selling my welder. I'm not in the trade anymore and don't have the need! The custom cart (pictured) has been on the forum before (I think!) Pick up only! Elgin, IL. I don't get on here often anymore, so please reply to my email: [email protected]...

A 'quickie' hand-lettered driver name done for a neighbor a while back.

Just wanted to send a quick reminder to any welders out there. I've been welding for years, but in my haste to get a quick job done for a friend, I failed to put ear plugs in before doing the weld (I didn't have any with me), which was overhead and lying on my back. I had my hood and glasses...

Have any of you guys run your welder from your dryer outlet to use the higher voltage? How does it work for you? I've heard of this being done, but never tried it. Most of my welding is done on 110V which is fine for most of my work, but it would be nice to have 220. I can't really justify...

Super heavy-duty welding positioner, built from Certiflat kit. This thing is a tank! NOT POWERED at this time----you will need to add a motor. Never used. It has sheet metal gearbox covers, if you decide to use them, not shown in pic. Price is firm and cash only. You can't buy it UN-assembled...

I don't write about or recommend a tool very often unless I really like it, and this is one of those times! I just bought this light and LOVE it! Super-rugged, very bright, feels well-built, and has several ways to mount it depending on your task and location---either hanging or with the...

I don't write about or recommend a tool very often unless I really like it, and this is one of those times! I LOVE this light! Super-rugged, very bright, feels well-built, and has several ways to prop it---either hanging or with the attached magnets on the back. Also has a nice long cord...

I need a new worklight for working under the hood and under the car. To give you an idea of the era I'm from, I still use the single incandescent bulb lights. I've got a lot of work done with one of those, but my eyes and me are ready for something brighter and more durable. I'm only a...

As much as I make fun about 'Harbor Freight' tools, I actually ordered one finally! My reasoning is that I'm not wrenching for a living and can't remember the last time I even needed this tool, but it will be handy for getting at the plugs on my Odyssey! Got great reviews, so it's good enough...

SOLD! Jet JJ-6CSX long-bed jointer for sale. Great condition! Not a lot of hours on it. $850 firm. Pick-up only! (I don't see a way to delete any posts on this forum, but if there is a way, let me know and I'll delete it.)

Automotive-related logos/signs professionally lettered on your walls Professional signpainter in Elgin, IL available to paint car logos or your own logo or lettering on your garage (or man cave!) walls or traditional sign panels! It should be obvious that prices will vary widely depending on...

Sign painter shop-builds jigsaw box! My shop-built Bosch jigsaw box (MDO, of course!) hand-lettered up front and back, listing a few of the things it gets used for. Would have done some of the secondary lettering/layout differently if I were re-lettering it today. Nothing special about the...

Maybe this belongs in the 'Free Parking' section, you can let me know. I'd like to get a good car washing brush/mop/whatever for washing the minivan. I'd like a decent length handle so I can reach to the middle of the roof easily, and obviously, something that just works, is made well, and...

We have an old lamp in our yard that started out as a gas lamp and was retrofitted to electric with an electric eye many years ago. It finally needed the post replaced and I'm doing bulbs too, but noticed the bulbs are 12V single contact 'push and twist' with lugs, but the transformer that runs...

Do any of you guys have an Optrel helmet and PAPR of any sort, but specifically the Vegaview 2.5? IMHO, the Swiss can't make a bad product (except cheese----I hate the stuff!!) and I need a helmet with a PAPR system. 3M's over-complicated bits-and-pieces way of selling their system goes...

I'm looking for the opinions of career welders who use PAPR's with their helmets. Please only comment on the models you have personally used and on the job-----not just occasional 'hobby use'. I haven't used more than a dual cartridge respirator for protection occasionally in the past, but...

....well, actually it's a 'chair mat', but it IS laminate flooring, which has been glued to 3/4" ply and edge-banded with solid Oak trim that sticks above the surface to act as a 'curb' around the edges and keep you from rolling off. The Rollerblade style aftermarket wheels plus this mat are...

Bought a mini-stereo (Yamaha) and wanted to get the speakers up to ideal listening height, so I'm building some stands/pedestals. Same basic idea as many others online----sand-filled PVC pipes. They are different heights because one will sit on a desk, while the other is on the floor---both...
