My grandfather was 85 when he died in 1997. My uncle recently gave me one of his toolboxes. Untouched.

I did not know that. Dammit.

My review on the 3 Oz. Mini Grease Gun with Cartridge item #95575. FAIL

Can't use coupons on tool boxes. At least not the 20% or 25% off coupons. I tried. Check the fine print.

Vintage to me - the first tool box I bought for myself, circa 1990. I recently gave it to my son.

I just inherited this Wilton. Now I have a new project. It's been in my father's garage as long as I can remember (I'm 53). What can you tell me about it?

What are these round white things in the black plastic holder? I found the exact thing in my dad's garage and didn't know what they were.

More details on the wainscoting please. How did you attach the top trim without flattening the corrugated metal?

I've never purchased tools from a Snap-On truck so I don't know what kind of credit is granted but that's what it all boils down to. Was it revolving or installment? Was it unsecured or secured? If revolving/unsecured then the credit is like any other credit card. The issuer cannot repossess...

Nowhere near the skill level of some of you folks, but I made this chair this weekend:

Not new but my wife found this deal on a local facebook garage sale page. Both sets of tool boxes and everything on the table for $150.

My contribution. Not as nice as many on here but I just finished it today.

Finished.

Same vice, different lighting angles. Rustoleum Machine Gray.

Wow thanks. Unless I come across another old vise by chance I don't plan on doing more. This one is likely all I'll ever need - for now. That table is a welding table still in work. Casters should be here tomorrow. I'll post some pics of it when I'm done.

Finished painting my grandfather's old vise. Not nearly as nice as many on here but it works for me.

This my my grandfather's vise. When I decided to refinish it was how I found Garage Journal. I wanted to research how to take it apart before I tried. I originally soaked and wire brushed it to remove years and years of gunk. I doubt my grandfather ever even wiped it down. My 70-year old uncle...

Thanks for your help. It wasn't as bad as I imagined. Started with a 1/8" pilot hole then drilled a 1/2" hole. On each of the three holes the drill did catch and try to break my wrist but backing it out and going back in slowly did the trick. I used 3-in-1 oil to lubricate/cool and it seemed to...

I'm building a welding table. Not nearly as nice as many I've seen here on Garage Journal, but it will work for me. The top is a piece of 3/8" steel I lucked into. I want to mount my vise on it but am concerned about drilling through the steel. The three holes would need to be about 1/2" (I...

What do you folks use to protect the unpainted surfaces? I think I read somewhere that someone used wax. What kind of wax? Any special way to apply? I assume it would need to be re-applied periodically?
