Glad to hear that you’re home now and on the mend. Your GJ brothers are all here rootin for you. 🙏

Same thing happened to me. 😎 15 years ago I owned just 2 vises. (here you see about 3/4 of my collection)

Don’t put yourself in harm’s way. Injured bodies are far worse than broken vises.

I’m just 5’8 and I like my 38 inch high bench. I originally built it to 36 inches but added an extra thick top a few years ago and it is comfortable for me.

That’s good to know… thanks!

I wouldn’t use BLO on the slide or screw. BLO hardens into a sticky varnish like substance that will not play well with close tolerances. I don’t have outdoor vises but my guess would be that Fluid Film would be better. Outlaw is right about coating the outside with BLO. IMHO, it’s better than...

Looks to me like a Yost. Many were made in the USA but like many manufacturers, they moved most or all of their production overseas. I think 5 or so years ago was the big move. If you paid like maybe $50 for it you should be able to get your money back if you don’t like it. Keep your...

If a friend of mine gave me something and then I sold it for a grand, am I obligated to share the $$$?

Wow, Don! That‘s some serious stuff. Take good care of yourself. Here’s another wish for your speedy recovery so you can get back to work doing the things you love.

Living where I do I have no experience with frozen wiper blades but wouldn’t it be asking for a cracked windshield to hit freezing cold glass with a heat gun?

This one is in Tipton IN Like crguy says… look in Facebook marketplace

If that is true, it is not obvious to me looking at the pictures.

Me too. If I am wearing pants, I have a knife handy clipped in a pocket. 😎

It is possible to dig through a concrete wall with a modified spoon. It just takes time. 😎

Don’t use the tip of a $100+ knife to open a paint can. On second thought, don’t use ANY knife to open a paint can. If and when the tip breaks off it might fly through the air and hit you or somebody else in the face. If you don’t have one of those tools that paint stores give away, use that...

Rust never sleeps. You could brush on a light coat of boiled linseed oil thinned down with mineral spirits. That would be a minimalistic approach. That would seal out moisture and oxygen but would be easily removable in the future.

Then I asked AI to rate this forum. Garage Journal is widely considered a top, comprehensive resource for garage enthusiasts, offering vast information, tool reviews, and inspiring DIY build threads, but its strong community can sometimes lean towards specific views, leading some users to find...

I asked it why I should trust its answers. Here is what it said. You should not blindly trust AI answers; instead, treat them as a starting point, verifying critical information with reliable human-vetted sources because AI can generate plausible-sounding but false information...

My workbench was cleared off the last time I sanded and refinished the top. This is all I got! 😎
