Thanks a lot, Luke. I've had fun and learned some stuff since I've been here thanks to your site. And as an added benefit, I have been dropping less dollars at the local shakers bars since I've joined up. Wait... I'm not so sure that is a good thing. :headscrat

Thanks for the heads-up, Tom. I went to my neighborhood HD yesterday & they still have 10 of the wall units available but are sold out of the base units. However the base units are still available at the other two HD's in the area. Too bad the base units aren't the drawer style instead of the...

Thanks a lot. Appreciate your offer of the free shipping and not having to pay sales tax is always a nice bonus, especially on larger ticket items. I saved over $75 by buying my Millermatic 175 online last November. Since I "needed" to buy a pulley puller/installer last week, I decided to do...

I swear we sometimes talk each other into buying stuff we really don't need. :evil: Too bad my local Sears store is only a mile away. Must resist temptation... :willy_nil :willy_nil :willy_nil

Thanks, Spencer. Nice mailing label, btw. :lol:

Here is a recent thread that may be of help to you.

:headscrat Oh the humanity. :lol:

Jeez you guys. What gives? :dunno: This is just your typical Iowa pole barn. :lol: Very, very nice, W-C. I hadn't read this thread until just now. I am truly envious. Not just with your building, but more so with your ability and knowledge to build such a monstrosity. Btw, I live in...

Never saw the show, but I'll tell the wifey to keep an eye out for it. Sounds kind cool, but wouldn't it be pita when you are disassembling something and your parts kept blending in with the background. I suppose you could always use some sort of tray. So never mind...

Thanks, Roadster. I did see those jaw inserts, but they all appear to be special purpose inserts instead of the serrated, general purpose, original style insert that I am looking for. Here is a link to the breakdown schematic for the vice and the item that I need is item #3 - which is both...

Maybe I was a bit hasty today, but I bought a Columbian D6 bench vice at HD. It was a display model and they replaced their Columbian models with Wiltons. So they shot me what I thought was a reasonable price and I bought it for $40. Problem is that it does not have the jaw inserts or two of...

Ditto on the mineral spirits. It took a big price hike when gasoline spiked late last year and hasn't come down - around here anyway. $50 for a 5 gallon can. I was going to go the Simple Green route but the stuff freezes. Here is the reply to my question about SG freezing.

I bought a Craftsman 2000 PSI, 2.0 GPM with a 4.5 Honda engine a few years back. I really thought I would use it more than I have because I primarily just use it for washing vehicles and cleaning up the oil drips in the driveway after my Harley riding friends stop by. :evil: I wish that I...

Now yer cookin'... Well since your wife doesn't appreciate your hard work, here's :beer: . :lol: So is the plan to keep all your storage on the right hand side & make the left hand side your "shop"? Were you able to get all your storage items up off the floor & organized? I see that...

Yeah, a bit high for what you get. :wtf: I have seen 4-bar wheel wrenches where two of the arms fold in on the main shaft for tool box storage purposes. When you need to extend them back into their original position they are held in place by a sliding collar. I think it is 18" in total...

Mark, when comparing the photo in your link to the photo in my Greg Smith Equipment link, I don't think so. I does not appear that the India company's vice has an anvil for starters. UB, I did a little internet searching for info about machinist vices and it looks like there are a few...

Thanks guys. Appreciate the input. I am in no hurry to buy another vice, so maybe I'll hit the garage sales this spring and will luck into one. Btw, how do a machinist vice and a mechanics vice differ?

Let's give it up for Charlie. :beer: Looks like you are getting there. Replace your washer & dryer (Maytag Neptunes?) with a stackable unit and you can add a few more square feet. Btw, are those bicycles limelight, too?

A 7 piece combo set of ratcheting open end/box wrenches or one of 2 $100 gift cards. Wythors, think you are going to win all three items? Nope, I'm overdue to win something. :rocker: Edit*** The rules state that you can enter daily. Also, as copied from the Snap-On Privarcy Policy - "we...

Greg Smith Equipment has the parts that you need.
