Now another test for you on that side of the pond only. What is lurking behind the chop saw on the second picture??:headscrat Dave

'fraid not There's plenty clues in the picture!!!! Dave

After years of collecting various boxes it was time to consolidate. So off went this box to a friend I wanted to reduce these two boxes to one So a bit of eBaying led me to a long road trip Finally getting back home to set up with my new pride and joy Still got plenty of tidying to...

I am about to get a new (to me) snap on box which has "slots 'n dots" storage system. Has anyone used these and how do you rate them? Dave

Yes they ship materials to uk on a regular basis! Dave

I envy the choice of tools and organisers you have over in US. I live in England and we just cant get hold of such equipment. I have sent a mail to "expedition exchange" to see if they mail worldwide so lets see if that can be done Dave

my new toolbox Obviously there is an official snap on website but is there a "snap on" site where you can identify older models and their age?? Dave

my new toolbox :bowdown: great looking car Mike. Have you had it long? Dave

my new toolbox Dino pictures as promised :pimpflash By the way the house in the background is not mine!!! Dave

my "new" tool box Thanks for your replies, glad you liked it. To answer a few questions, I got stickers off by carefully peeling them, scraping with a razor blade to remove any bits and then cleaning off the gum with "panel wipe" which is the trade name over here for the solvent you wipe over...

Unable to justify cost of new "snap on" boxes I managed to buy a "snap on" rollcab/midbox and top box on eBay. It was then a good clean out and respray to customise the box for my garage.

I dont know if you have noticed but on picture 1380 of my original thread at the right hand end of the bench I have welded on some angles which I use to clamp sheet metal for folding. Very much like the metal folders you can buy and put in the vice but this one is permanently fixed to the bench...

I welded a piece of 1 inch square tube to the front angle on the bench, drilled an oversize hole through it and then I have a bolt which is fixed through the base of the grinder that locates in the hole and is fastened by a wing nut Thanks Dave

I often use a bench grinder and a buffing machine for preparing parts for my cars. The problem is that they take up so much space so I came up with an "invention" which helps solve the problem. Hope you like it! http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b392/246gts/DCP_1379.jpg...

I am coming over to Indianapolis from UK for US GP. Being a regular reader of this forum I am looking forward to seeing all the great tools you all talk about on sale in US. Which tool stores are there in Indyand if possible where are they located? Thanks Dave
