Congrats on the purchase! Enjoy. This is so true.

I was in the Penske pits at an Indy car race at Laguna Seca years ago watching them teardown a transaxle. The used only combo wrenches, and mostly the open end. I thought that was a bit odd.

I like elec outlets on the face of the workbench, which keeps the cord off the work area. Or use a drop down retractable cord. For my cordless tools I have an outlet in a cabinet for the chargers. I leave the door open when charging for air circulation. I like 3 and 4 way switches for the...

They're not expensive if they are the only shop in town that has what you need. They've saved my **** a time or two.

This link has a video that explains how to check a capacitor. https://thehvacguy.wordpress.com/

I have one and hope to find another, it's a fine grinder. Mine runs best on 220, 221 whatever it takes. I bought mine new in 1988 from Sears for $100 because it had a cracked guard cover. I couldn't get it to run, so in addition to get it running the warranty took care of the cover.

Is that an optical illusion, or does the cart not sit level because the casters are too small?

Dude, go look up the definition of the word bragging before you use it please. This is a very much needed thread on HOW TO get great prices. Maybe we need a thread on HOW TO get a life.

I didn't think I needed one, even after my buddy gave me a new unused Milwaukee. It sat around for a few months until I needed to cut some steel. Holy ****! One of the best tools I own, use it all the time now. I haven't had a use for my Milwaukee sawzall since. Buy one, you'll love it!

Coming from a man of your talents Mike, I hold your reply in high regard. Thank you sir. Bob

Thanks guys for the kind words, you've really made my day! Yes, the notching was done on a mill. That idea was stolen from Kris at 44 Bikes Frame Shop who is an outstanding fab guy here on GJ.

I needed to make an engine crossmember for my 69 Mustang in order to lower the engine. The stock crossmember wouldn't allow any drop of the engine. So I drew up some plans, bent some tube, notched the ends and welded it up. ] The crossmember is welded upside down on the welding fixture.

Good for you gtcs on saving the shed. Good memories are priceless. Hand drawn plans are cool, I also enjoy drawing them when I can. Attached is my simple shop addition.

Nice car & pickup combo you have there.

Ok, I'll bite, how much did you pay for the mag drill?

That is genius!

Thank you James, wasn't expecting such fast delivery. Paypal was sent.

Kris, superb fab work as usual. Great story about the artifacts, it's priceless. I haven't been on your thread in a while, so the attached pic from you is perfect timing and a life saver for me. I'm gonna steal the double clamp idea to use in my mill. I've been thinking of a way to notch a...

I would think that cleaning and prepping is the job of the shop, kinda like when you get something chromed or painted.

Nice score. So the way I read it, you're the only one of all the folks involved who had to pay for the sockets. Kudos for doing the right thing. I could use 7/16, 1/2, 9/16 & 17mm all in 3/8 drive please.
