So I was just browsing the Sears catalog online and saw that their 60gal compressor is on a really good sale right now (at least I think its a good price). http://www.craftsman.com/craftsman-professional-60-gallon-air-compressor-3.1-rhp/p-00916476000P?prdNo=3&blockNo=3&blockType=G3 Anyway, if...

Today I found some goodies on Craigslist for sale. They'd been posted for 13 days, and I was surprised the guy still had them. I've begun to collect some of the older Craftsman vintage tools (trying to keep it 1960s and before), and I will probably just keep this thread and update it as I find...

I have quite a few tools that I've been cleaning up and now I'd like to polish them and make them shiny. I've seen other members doing this with a grinder and the white wheels that look like a bunch of towels sandwiched together. What items do I need to acquire to have a good setup for...

I have a radial arm saw that kinda just takes up a lot of room and I don't have a table to use it on. I was debating on getting rid of it because I just don't have too much use for one it seems. What is this saw worth? I ran it today to verify it works properly and that it is in good operating...

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/tls/4979144512.html I couldn't help but post up this ad. I wish it were in my neighborhood, or even within 150 miles as I'd have it in my garage already! Someone rescue it and add it to their collection! :beer:

I'd like to get one like this. Is this guy so far off the mark that bargaining would be pointless? http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/tls/4939991274.html Thanks:pimpflash

Hey guys, I saw this on eBay and I've been getting into Plomb collecting as I found a few in my locale at different sales. So far I have a 9/16" and a 1/2" ratchet...so not much so far! Anyway, I like the design, but alas, I do not live near enough to even consider this cool vintage cart. It...

I found these near me at an antique shop. They're asking $74.50 for the red Craftsman and $145 for the larger one (Athol). The Craftsman has removable jaws for replacement. The Athol does not have the removable jaws for replacement. Are these prices decent? Which one should I buy? Both...

First off, I came to this forum a while ago as I had joined the Ford Barn (an antique Ford forum) and saw the "Garage Forum" advertised on the bottom. I spotted the 1950's garage and that was when I was hooked on this site. I've built a lot of stuff for my garage, but I honestly have to say, my...

On my property, I have about a 1.5 car garage (detached) and on the left hand side, there is a patch between the fence (neighbors) and my garage that I would like to put a lean-to structure over so I can park a car/boat/project/UFO/whatever under to free up space in my garage, driveway or...

How much is this thing worth if it works? How hard is it to replace the blade? Are they a good thing to have or is it just a cool thing if you don't do much wood shaping or cutting? Its $150+tax and runs well. 1/2hp motor.

So, I recently impulse bought a wood lathe with a giant motor on it. What brand of lathe is it? It looks like the motor is a Delta brand and it is a 1/2 HP. How old is this lathe and motor combo? It is pretty cool, and now I have it kind of crammed into my garage. It is very heavy. Thanks for...

I purchased some old wrenches for $1 a piece and wanted to clean them up a bit to get them such that I could paint them. I wanted to paint them a hammered finish and then paint "Dad's Tools" or "Name's Tools" or something along that line. I tried tumbling them with steel pins and Dawn Dish soap...

OK, I bought the compressor in the photos thinking my wall was wired for something as heavy duty as it. However, after running it for a little while, it would cycle up and down and then die. I tested my wall and lo-and-behold, its only putting 120v out. The compressor calls for 240v. How...
