I picked up this saw last week and thought I'd document it's cleanup and partial restore. After getting it home, I blew the years old sawdust out, chipped the really hard stuff off and gave the points some spray lube before trying to move anything. It's amazing how smooth everything is...

I've always bought things that generally just sit in the box for years. Today I was fitting out some plastic water buckets with valves and drains for the horse barn. I needed to counter sink the screw heads, but the bucket wouldn't alow the drill to fit in. I had bought a drill Chuck mounted on...

I came across a Vidmar 10 drawer 60" wide, 59" tall cabinet. Asking price is $ 2000, which is a little stiff. I know they sell for big money on EBay, but I wouldn't pay that much. I'm just a cheap *******.I offered up my Tech 1000 for trade, they are interested, but still wants a chunk of cash...

Just had to show this. It's at an auction here in Ft. Myers this Sat. 12/13. It's a big un. 18" 5 HP, 3 phase of course. Spins nice by hand, would love to hear it run. I'm going to look up cost of the wheels, I bet they cost way more than the grinder will sell for at the auction. Tag is rough...

It's true, because I caught one ( maybe more) here on GJ. Example, I'm looking over a hand full of estate sales coming up this week, looking at the pictures. I spot c-clamps in a couple, so I make a note of it at that sale. Now, I have more c clamps than I really need, but likely will end up...

Included is a 3 & 4 jaw chuck, quick release tool post with various tool holders, steady rest, turret attachment, live and...

Going to look at a 344A with a 4' bed later this week. Asking $1,000.00. I will use it in my home shop, no real purpose in mind. Some tooling, don't know exactly what comes with it, but I believe I could at least do some basic things with it as it comes. Single phase 120/240 volt motor. Looks...

Thanks to GJ, I have this disease.............Of 9 bench grinders (2 not in pics) and still searching the ads and sales for more. Five Block grinders, a Dayton, Chicago power tool, a 8" CM Taiwan, a cheap Delta and probably forgot one somewhere. My son thinks I'm ill. Maybe I am! The best one...

First time I documented dong this. Using the white vinegar and salt on some plain steel tools. I did a old junk pair of pliers last weekend, turned out good. Still trying to decide what to treat with afterward . Before. After soaking for about a hour. Notice the outline of the tools, it is...

Clean AC/DC welder 235 amps AC, 160 amps DC. On cart with casters, rack for cable holders, longer leads, about 25' with quick connects. Works great, I bought this machine when I built our horse barn to fab the beams. Little use since then and since I bought a mig and a larger machine a few years...

Brought my new addition home this week, a 14" Powermatic model 143 bandsaw. Brought at a online govdeals type auction. I need to find or build a table for it. I have a bimetallic blade on order and have a couple of blades that I need to get cut down in size. Was going through checking...

While moving stuff around to make room for my daughters car, need to change the oil pump, I went to the fridge to get a beer. I keep a couple in the freezer, keeps them just right. Except the frost grew to where I couldn't get the bottle out.:shocking: Talk about a panic. No, I didn't run to...

I bought a 8" bench grinder a few weeks ago. No name plate. I thought it was a Milwaukee or Wissota ( which built Milwaukee). After checking it out closer, it needed bearings. I suspected this when I bought it and wasn't too worried about it, figuring it was some older USA heavy iron. Took it...

Finally got around to painting & tweaking the 11 drawer Vidmar I bought last May. Still need to grease the bearings with some lithumin grease. Some of the drawes were a little stif and hard to go back in the last few inches. All that was needed was the machine bolts on the rails needed...
