I will post a photo is this isn't obvious to someone but picked up two sizes of side cuts today at an estate sale - I am assuming these are from the 50s or so - they are stamped "Germany" and have a triangle stamp on the back with an "A" (top of the triangle) "H" (lower left) and "I" (Lower...

Well a bit intimidated after seeing the great work that IROC-Z28 is posting, but I thought I would share my build for others who are "Space Challenged". The whole point of this build is to make as much functionality into the smallest space possible (also I'm a crazy re-purposer, so it's gonna...

I found this at a garage sale and thought someone could use it/appreciate it. It is actually pretty cool, Third printing, 1960, The Complete Book of Hot Rodding by Robert E. Petersen (Publisher of Hot Rod Magazine, as well as CarCraft and Motor Trend) and the Editors of Hot Rodding magazine...

Had a water heater blow in a finished basement - we had Pergo-type flooring with a thin foam underlayment. I was home at the time and wetvac'd up as much water as possible, but it ran under the floor and into a lot of the seams destroying/warping much of the flooring by running into the seams...

I have a new Hobart Flux welder and have been practicing beads on scrap 1/8th and a little thicker. Obviously when heated the metal begins to warp. My question is: how do you control the warping in a build? I don't want to get started on a welding cart or something and warp the metal to the...

I am trying to piece together a tool kit for a 1962 Triumph TR3B. These tools, apparently, are scarcer than hens teeth, although sometimes they can be bought with an old rust bucket for $200. I am not necessarily looking to rebuild a "correct" set, but I'd like to at least have a reasonable...

Bought a Stanley 42-347 mahogany/brass 48" level with a plastic case at a garage sale for $8. Only problem was that all the vials were dry, except one, which had a huge bubble and the liquid was clear, so, basically unusable. I looked online and replacement vials were available for between...

Platinum Full Synthetic (all three grades) were $4.39 qt with a $10 rebate - 5 qt. purchase required. Works out to about a $15 full synthetic oil change after rebate once I add the filter. I don't usually bother with doing this myself but was too good of a price to pass up.:thumbup: Sale is...

Found a bunch of these SAE at the Sears closeout store for $22. Today at my local Sears they had a whole table of the metric for $22.89 out the door. It is the non-reversible (ie "turn it over) raised panel 8 piece with pouch. USA made, obviously something they are trying to clear out...

Long shot I know - but I am looking to find one to clean up/restore for my brother for his BDay. I'm not about to go to eBay and pay some fool $400. I have a Wilton PowrArm to go with it, but these little vises are tough to find. I cleaned up one previously and gave it to my dad to use for...

Whoops should say "crows foot"! I have a vintage 5 pc set of crow foot wrenches stamped "US" with the following ID numbers: AN-6506-10 (1") AN-6506-6 (3/4") AN-6506-4 (5/8) AN-6506-3 (9/16) AN-6506-1 (7/16) They are worn nearly clean but all have a deep red paint remenant on the back. Very...

BOTH SOLD I have two Wilton swivel "powrarm" Jr. vise for :baby" Wiltons or other small vises.

Time to update the "extras" sale in my little shop! Please make offers or suggest trades. I usually ship Saturdays and use USPS Flat Rate whenever possible. If I can ship faster I will. I pack things very well and always throw in extras! Please PM with questions or trades. 3” Shop King Vise...

Looking for a good condition 400B or 300CF set (any color) for a xmas present for my brother. I bought a 400B set recently for $106 (new) . . .I know they go for more at SO. If I can find a GC used I'll swap it out and give the new one to my brother - like to find one with a tray if possible...

Couldn't help but post this - I'm not doing the work, my younger brother is, but he is doing a helluva job on an old aluminum boat - especially since he's learning as he goes. Check it out. PS the blog reads from the bottom up . . . http://www.weekendhacks.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

My local HF is about 40 minutes away, which is a good thing because for a weekend hobbyist, I don't need any more excuses to buy tools. Yesterday on the way to the grocery store I passed an empty strip mall with a big banner "HF coming soon" - great, just great.:willy_nil

Just picked up a 2.5" Wilton baby vise and am looking for a "junior" swivel stand . . .BUT: I am not going to pay the $100-$150 they are asking for on eBay. Condition doesn't matter, I think this little guy would be a lot more useful with a stand. Also more than happy to trade things to make...

I'm sure there are some people on here who may know more about this ratchet. Picked up three of them - BS-71 1/2", and matching 3/4" and 1/4" this weekend at a garage sale. Covered in light rust but in great shape. Looked online to see if I could determine the age, but all I can find is...

Well I stood there at HF holding this and thought it was either the greatest thing or a quick way to lose $30. Looks like it could break veeeeery easily. Anyone have any experience with this? I don't need a TW very often, but I am guessing it would be worthwhile to just go buy a quality one...

These don't come up on the web very often and when they do they are WAY out of my price range. Getting started on a resto and want to start reading. Anyone out there who has any TR3, TR3A/B documentation and who's project has, ahem, stalled, I would appreciate it! Looking for anything TR3...
