I have an older 12" Sears Craftsman woodworking bandsaw that uses 80" blades up to 1/2" size. I'm thinking of doing some re-sawing with it (cutting wood from small logs). I've never done re-sawing before. What brand/model of blades would be best for re-sawing type work for it and where to...

I recently discovered Cripe's Distributing thanks to this forum and got some good deals on some US tools there. They were super and great at combining shipping on their ebay site. I'd like to ask what other mail order or online surplus or clearance type sites you have ordered from and your...

I picked up a couple Ryobi tools at Home Depot I found on clearance. Mine had some of the corded heat guns that people like for $23, down from recent $30 or so posted here recently in a thread. It looks like a few steps up from the Harbor Freight $10 ones on sale. It was hidden over in the...

Here is one I just saw today. Looks pretty good for $2.50 each, esp if you have those SYWR credits to use from Sears. http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/110874/kmart---accu-gage-tire-gauge-with-pressure-release-valve - Paul

Menard's is my favorite first place to shop for stuff so let's start a Menard's deals permathread like the HF coupon thread or review thread. This can be about any good deals you find each week OR just about good products you found there you like and want to share with others OR about questions...

So most of us know that the cordless tools are useful and for many are the only tools they have now for a given type of tool. But those who have been around a while also know that the changes in voltages and battery styles (9.2, 12, 14.4, 16.8, 18, 19.2, 20, etc) and then being abandoned and...

So I'm a little annoyed with Sears over the poor quality on their recent wrenches I got, but here is one today for the woodworkers. Like "Bench Cookies" but potentially more useful. http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/109668/sears---craftsman-trigrips-non-slip-work-supports I'll give these a...

This one today is pretty interesting. Two double racheting wrenches with two sizes on each end to cover 8 possible sizes. Universal type. Made in china, but a pretty neat tool. Compact two wrench set to cover 8. Only $12.74 for the two in either SAE or Metric...

Anyone replace any of the normal incandescent type bulbs in their favorite flashlights with a new LED bulb made to fit? If so, what would you recommend and how much would one of those cost? I have some ryobi 18v cordless lights I'd like to upgrade if not too terrible to do it. thx- Paul

Here is a great deal today on the Sears corded or cordless and rechargeable LED light. I have one of these and love it. I paid about $25 for mine, now much cheaper. http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/108862/sears---craftsman-cordless-rechargeable-work-light-with-35-led-lights - Paul

Hi i'm looking for a couple Ryobi one plus 18 v cordless tools I could use. If you don't need yours or have moved on to something better. I could use these in decent used shape: 6" hand car buffer P430 mouse type cordless sander, Corner Cat P400 or 6" cordless sander P410 Cordless...

Not a tool, but one of my hobbies is high end audio. There is a legendary speaker designer named Andrew Jones who has been working with Pioneer and making some cheap but excellent sounding speakers. The little ones here just got Stereophile Magazines budget component of the year. On sale...

Please see new thread I started here in tools: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=225860 For hand grinding of floors for epoxy with an angle grinder, instead of using a high powered one for harder cement areas and a lower powered one for softer cement areas, you could likely...

So, Ryobi recently recalled their P113 yellow chargers that charge the lithium or the ni cad 18v one plus batteries as potentially starting a fire and also recalled some of their first gen newer lithium + pull size 4amp hour batteries too. Well this is bad enough but here is more you should...

Question for the woodworkers. Didn't intend to, but I managed to acquire two different 6" jointers in the last year. I can only keep one and need to sell one of them. Which to keep and which to sell and why? I have a "Cleveland Industrial" Taiwan made clone of the Rockwell (now Delta) 37-220...

Having been here a while now, mainly hanging out in the flooring threads, it is getting really really hard for people to navigate all the hundreds of threads now to find relevent threads for given topics. I'm thinking it would be nice if we could have a "Best Of" designation added to threads...

Ok folks, thought I'd start a new thread here. Most of us end up with a bit of extra epoxy at the end of our floor jobs. I wanted to start a thread where everyone can give ideas of what to do with epoxy other than the floor. Please all join in! Let's have fun with this one! I will start...
