Grandfathers are something special and unreplaced. Lucky for me my dad is slowing turning out to be a lot like my Papa was. Looks like you have a lot of vintage tools and boxes with great stories and memories!

I meant the main panel box for the house. I'm wanting to know if I can you the meter box as a pass through to the outside without having to cut a hole in the brick. I'm not going to touch any wires in the meter box.

Explain... If I shouldn't do it I might as well know why.

Is it alright and will it be ok with the power company if I run wire from my main panel in the garage through the outside wall using the existing hole to the meter? my main panel is about a foots distance to the meter outside. I'd like to go right from the panel box along the same path through...

I have a metal building. 24x36. I didn't have mine insulated like most do with the insulation between the structure and tin. Should have. I'm wiring and insulating now. It will be as sealed as you make it and still cost less than wood. IMOA they don't look as good as a garage built to match the...

Question has been answered about the plug blades. Bulb has been changed to a 120v bulb. All I'm trying to do its light up a Corvette rear end shell. Thanks for all the "different" replies.

That's what I was going for. I'll go full length walls though. I like the look of the tin. Noise, it's not a problem, earplugs. I might even be able to save on lighting with the bright tin. Looks good 5lima30. I'll just have to figure a mounting system for all my signs and helicopter memorabilia.

I'm cleaning up my first drill press now. It's a Craftsman also. I'll probably get grief for it, but i painted mine canary yellow. All the original badging was trash. I did it because the press was cheap but now I'm having a blast redoing it.

How did you shine everything up so well? I'm working on one, not so old, not going original colors. Trying to clean up the chuck, post, and surface of the platform.

I'm working on restoring an old craftsman drill press. It's missing the top cover, but other than that in sound condition except needing a good cleaning and fresh paint. What's the best way to shine up the levers and the post? I'm sand blasting all the cast parts before I paint them. I'm not...

I'm going to go with a radiant tube heating system that uses propane. My shop is 24x36' uninsulated w/ 14' ceiling. Friend of mine uses one in his metal building with no insulation, has a thermostat, keeps his building @ 70 when it's in the teens outside. He only uses it for a few hours a day...
