    Does anyone have a source or lead on 4 inch jaw inserts for the Charles Parker Vise? I need one to bring an old Parker back from the dead. They are the type with two holes for the taper pins to be driven in and secure to the vise. Appreciate any information.

    Barn foundation in Sand? Michigan Sand

    No question that I will get some engineering and soil analysis for the build. All good info you guys provided. I am hopeful and interested in seeing if anyone has actually been confronted with a similar building situation and what sorts of non typical experience they actually had. Those...

    Barn foundation in Sand? Michigan Sand

    I want to stick build a storage barn with a second story on my retirement property. It is near the Northern Michigan Manistee National Forest Pine River corridor which is on very high ground but only about 6 inches of mostly sandy soil before it becomes sand dune soil. I can dig a hole with...

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Finished the old Craftsman 5162. For such an old heavy vise (50+ lbs) it is in really nice condition. Lots of minor rust but otherwise it must of been lightly used. CL find for $60. Put about 10 hours into it. First one I painted as it was just too nice not to. My old Parker gets the...

    Craftsman 3pc Pry Bar Set FAIL

    Good job of showing the project and the less than expected perfomance of the pry bars. I think a freaking PRY BAR should be able to do that job without tip failure. It is not like you were putting that tool anywhere near a failure probable situation. Thats the key here. Remember though...
