So after being “shopless” for 11 years, I finally pulled the trigger on a new one. 32x48x14, shell and floor just finished a couple weeks ago. Now the rest is up to me to finish interior and install doors.

So I’ve been looking for a KR690/691 top chest for several years. Impossible to find by itself near me , the ones I found for sale all come with the bottom box. So I bit the bullet and bought a Harbor Freight 72” top and added another KR 290 to my bottom stack. Hangs off the back about an inch...

So I’m finally getting around to cleaning and painting the KR-290 I had stashed to put on the end of my KR660B. During the tear-down I noticed that this one has friction slides 🤬while the KR-290 on the other end of my 660 box is full ball bearing. Is there a manufacture date to look for if you...

Looking for a KR 690/691 top chest . Must be complete and at least restorable. I live in Pacific Northwest so shipping is likely cost prohibitive unless some type of deal (like using fastenal) to offset costs can be made. No locks/no keys ok. Missing or bad slides ok.

So I recently decided to build up an acetylene torch rig and when I went to find a cart, I was faced with something either real rickety or really expensive. Then I found this nitrogen tank cart in the local ads for $100 that got my wheels spinning.

My not so trusty HF floor jack started leaking like a sieve so I started to tear it down for a reseal. I replaced the o-ring in the main jack shaft no sweat but the pump bodies are a different story. The pump frame is Aluminum but the pump cylinders are iron. I’ve cranked on these with a big...

SOLD: Pair of Snap-on TQFR split beam torque wrenches SOLD- SNAP ON TQFR250 1/2" AND TQFR100 3/8 DRIVE TORQUE WRENCHES IN CASES. I’m original owner, bought them off the truck through my son who is a Mercedes Tech. Used in my home garage by me only. The 3/8 has more use so I had it cleaned...

I had a pretty mangled cap on my Wilton 500S, but I have no access to a lathe. So I wrapped the end of a long 3/8 extension in electrical tape and stuck it through the Wilton’s screw bore and a used brass hammer to knock the cap off the end of the vise. I worked out the dents as best I...

My 4 sons all pitched in and bought me one of those big Harbor Freight Vulcan welding cabinets for my birthday. Overall I really like it but there's a couple things I did to it that made it fit my needs a little better.

Bought a Porter Cable 80 gallon, 6 horse, 2 stage compressor a few years back but was a little disappointed in amount of noise and amount of air volume. Nice compressor, claims around 14 cfm at 175, but I still had to wait on it sometimes when using a palm sander. A few weeks ago, I ran...

Just snagged this pressure-fed Snap-on YA3624 blasting cabinet off Craigslist for $280. Pretty decent shape, dust collector works, but foot pedal is missing and poppet valve is stuck. Found a new poppet valve on flea-bay for $65 but I don't know how the whole thing is plumbed. Seems like foot...

Hi I'm a newb here but I recently picked up a set of SO boxes on Craigslist that I plan to restore. I'd been looking at various stainless box sets to replace my overcrowded Craftsman rollaway but was unimpressed with the overall quality of the Chicom stuff everyone is selling. Then I ran across...
