So I'm wondering if vintage is the way to go for a scroll saw. I seen a couple of old cool ones local. Not really sure what all I'll be doing. Do I need a 18"? Variable speed? Delta, Craftsman?? Any preferences?? Is old better than new as far as scroll saws go. Or in this case is newer...

I just went and looked at this old Craftsman drill press. Appearance wise it was a lot worse than it looks in his pictures. It's all rusty and needs new paint. He tested some areas with vinegar to see if it would clean up. Well it will. But now it really looks like **** half done. I'm not...

Sorry for the urgent request. But I'm going to buy an old Atlas drill press today and just wanted to know what to check for. Obviously I aint going to Lowes and buy any broken or missing parts. New can not be had so it will be ebay for sure. I just hope that wont be a concern. But I guess what...

Just wanted to share me and my Sons recent finds. First we got an older Craftsman 113 table saw. Date range of 84-87 I think. Pretty nice shape. Just needs some clean up. Actually scored an NOS XR-2424 rip fence for it for $40. We're going through it and updating everything. New link belt...

Me and my son are setting up a small shop in my basement. We need a drill press. He wants a Shopsmith so it will have a drill press and a lathe. But I have a 80" ceiling height. Will something like a Mark V even fit there. I on the other hand want something like an old Craftsman drill press...

A friend of mine just bought this at a flea market for $2. What the heck is it,,,,lol. We thought a ****** clamp. :thumbup:

It's blowing air out of one of the intakes instead of sucking it in. Any ideas. Thanks

My Buddy has a Miller Dynasty 200 Tig welder. The water cooler runs off of a separate source of 110v, and of course the welder is 220v. He is wanting to make it all operate off of just one cord like the bigger models. He says they are all incorporated to a single plug. He is thinking he can...

Well, after loosing my free tire mounting guy, and not at all happy with the last shop I paid, I decided to get set up to change my own tire's. Frankly, I have a shiity job and don't make much money. So I had to do this on the cheap. I got the harbor freight stuff on sale, and had a 20% off...

I'll be picking this one up for $20. All it says on it is "patent 1914" Any ideas on what it is. I really dont care what it is. I just thought it was a cool looking old vise. And hell, it was only $20.

Hey guys. It was suggested to me that I start a feedback thread. Mainly for the nos vise grips that I sold. So let's hear what you have to say. Thank, Cal

I don't know what happened to my other thread. But let's try again. I decided not to mess with ebay and try to make a couple of measly dollars more. I want to take care of my guy's here as the forum has always helped me when I needed it. I had a moment of greed take over me. But I'm feeling...

A bunch of you guys said you wanted some. Well put your order in now. I'm going to ask $15 a set no matter what you get. Plus shipping. A set equals 1 unit/tool/pair,,, what ever you want to call it. I don't think that's too bad compared to what used ones are going for on ebay. These are all...

Are the true original ''Vise Grip'' brand vise grips the good one's. There's a guy locally selling new in the package starting $6 a set. Has a lot to choose from. Or is the Irwins, or other brands better. Thanks

Vise 1. So I have a co-worker that says he has neighbor that threw out a huge vise behind his garage. It took the 2 of them to carry it. He swears it's much bigger than the Reed No. 4c that I posted a pic of. He has seen them both. Here's the bad. From what I understand the dynamic jaw is...

Don't get too excited. My buddy isn't selling. I did offer him $200 though. ;) He's calling this a rail road vise. He's had it for ever, and was his father in-laws before that. Just wondering what a rough value would be on it. Thanks. Well all my uploads are failing. I'll try a pic later. But...

I didn't even realize the was a wider part to the base until I went to mount. Everything kept changing WTF. :mad: Then I just happen to check center's of the base, and sure enough, there is a 6'' set, and a 7'' set. I'm just glad I didn't drill any hole's. :wtf: So which is the front. The wide...

I have a the whole bottle of this disc brake caliper lube. Will it be ok on the screw of my Wilton. Or the only other thing I have is just regular old wheel bearing grease. Then what about the slide tube. Can I use this finishing wax to wax the tube. Or does the tube even need waxed. Do I...

I tried painting some letters one time a long time ago. All I remember is it turned out like ****. But then again. Maybe I could be better now. So how are you guys making them look so perfect. Is there a tutorial or video around. Give some examples of your fine work if you want. Thanks.
