    Show your “Crowntop” Craftsman

    Thanks, you guys. I was totally blown away he was selling it so cheap. He told me he had just donated some vintage pipe wrenches to a local thrift store (one Craftsman and one Ridgid). I might have to go sleuthing! He taught in Africa for a long time and kept most of his things in storage. Once...

    That may be the case, but I am jealous of your drill index. I've been on the lookout for one for a while now and can never seem to find a good set. Sent from my SM-G973U using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Here's a 6516 box with a nice set of tools inside. Got it for $10 at a yard sale today. The man said he inherited it from his father-in-law and it has been in storage for the past 30 years. Sent from my SM-G973U using The Garage Journal mobile app

    I found a Snap-On socket with the name ground off. It's got the "E" stamp on it from 1944 (I believe). Not a clue why it would have been ground off. Sent from my SM-G973U using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Show us your Vintage Automobile Paraphernalia

    Made a new friend yesterday who gave me this Model E Geiger Creeper. 36 inches long, and rolls like a dream still. I think I'm going to keep it as it is, but I want to protect the lettering. Anyone got any ideas? I thought about waxing it or maybe just putting a thin coat of lacquer over the...

    Decision: Skil Saw Home Shop 520 or Craftsman 6-1/2" Circular Saw?

    That's great advice, I already have an early 40s Skil Saw 825. I figured it would be nice to have something lighter/smaller for light-duty jobs and quick cuts. I'll probably look around for a #77 instead. Sent from my SM-G973U using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Garage Interior Inspiration

    Hello, everyone, I was wondering what your large garages/shops looked like on the inside. I am going to start building up the inside of my 30'Wx40'LX14H garage once we get some of the junk cleaned out. The rafter ties are 11' from the floor and I want to run A/C ducts on the outer edges along...
