    What's your opinion on this Harbor Freight Tech Cart?

    They're great. Maybe unbeatable for the price. I have that cart and love it. There's a whole thread dedicated to it "what mods have you made to your HF 4 or 5 drawer service cart" Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Sorry for the cross - post, but it was recommended that I post this on this thread for better exposure; Saw this vise at a junk shop this morning and was wondering if someone on here could school me on it a little. Never saw a spring loaded vise this big before. It's hinged at the bottom, about...

    Vise Info Thread

    Saw this vise at a junk shop this morning and was wondering if someone on here could school me on it a little. Never saw a spring loaded vise this big before. It's hinged at the bottom, about 12"+ tall and the Jaws are only about 3" wide. The only markings on it are the "No. 34" across the hinge...

    The Everything 3D Printer Thread

    You could always print it in three parts. The two ends laying on their sides an the flat slab connecting them and use model glue to assemble the parts. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

    Vulcan Pro 165 Tig welder. Anybody have and or use one yet?

    I picked one up off CL unused and still in the box. Got it for a little less than half what HF charges. Let me say first, I'm hobby level welder with all prior experience being on a Lincoln AC/DC Tombstone. I hated the way it stick welded; I tried 7018 and it worked OK but the arc was rough...

    As promised, my HF 44” bench build

    Very nice. I like the top a lot. I'm guessing this takes place of the wall created by the original location of the tool boxes since your hitch receiver is towards the "back" ? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

    Airgas is such a ripoff

    The Tractor Supply near me (Chester, NY) was very close in price to Air Gas for a new 120 cf full of argon and their exchange prices were about the same even though of been told TS was cheaper (raised prices b/c of Airgas'?) Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

    Airgas is such a ripoff

    I haven't got a lot of experience as I'm only a hobbiest welder, but I found an Allgas that is only a little bit further drive with MUCH better pricing. They were also willing to take two small tanks O2 and CO that I got from a retired plumber, and give me an 80 cf argon tank in exchange. Sent...

    If you had access to a 3D printer and knowledge of CAD what would you make?

    The quality/durability of a part this small will be very dependant on the resolution of the printer and the type of plastic the machine is capable of using. From my limited experience, PLA would be preferable to ABS plastic. Oh, one other thing. Depending on the type of printer process...

    Question about drawer slides

    What 's the specs on the slides say? Also, you don't expect to put any more than 60lbs on a shelf and that's great until you do. [emoji57] You can fit a lot of stuff on an 24x18 in shelf. I was kind of shocked when I started organizing my accumulated hardware into the HF compartment boxes and...

    What's going on in my little Garage....

    My experience with vinegar is it still needs some scrubbing. Throw a couple of handfuls of sharp gravel in with the vinegar and shake it hard a few times during the soak. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

    Tack evertying or finish weld as i go?

    Controlling distortion due to heat from your welds will be much easier if you tack things first. You can be strategic about this and do it in sections as proposed. For example; doing two legs and the members between them to keep those square. Then do the opposite end/side etc. Sent from my...
