    Anybody know when this sign dates from? Not much about the company on line.

    Vintage sign find

    A couple of weeks ago, I bought this (with grinder) for $20 at a yard sale. The interior had these homemade drawers. I'm going to use the cabinet as a grinder/drill press station, but the drawers are seriously tired, so I pulled them out to discard them. This is what I found on the side...

    2014 Garage sale thread!

    Sometimes you take the chance and it pays off, sometimes it doesn't. Hit a yard sale today that advertised tools. I got there late, and most all the good stuff was either gone, or had sold tags on it. I spotted a grinder table that had some stuck drawers in it. Asked about the price, the...

    What are/(were) your most USELESS tools?

    I did home theater installs for a while, and used a cheap HF rotary tool with a cutting bit on it to great effect. When it finally wore out, I spent the money on a Rotozip. I think I've used it twice, since. Way overpowered/torqued for simply drywall.

    Tooling organization

    You use a nut of some type to tighten it to the guide. It's not as precise, but it is infinitely adjustable.

    Tooling organization

    Awesome as always. For your circle cutter, you can cut a slot, and then use a connector similar to what you used to attach the clamp to your Holy Table, like so. Or, you can just add more holes to the existing unit you have, like Jasper does.

    Finding An Underground Water Leak

    I have, unfortunately, dealt with this problem many times, because of the idiot who put in my water line (it was me). Coat hanger, or similarly long, thin piece of metal. Walk the line, poke it in the ground, like you're checking a cake with a toothpick. In my situation, the leak area...

    2014 Garage sale thread!

    The Snap-on was the main reason I spent money. I figured $4 for that, $4 for the ratchet, and a dollar each for the sockets sounded about right. But as quick as the counter guy said yes to my offer of $10, I wish I'd started with $5:o

    2014 Garage sale thread!

    No yard sales, but hit the local pawn shop, and picked up a couple of things. 1/2" Craftsman USA ratchet, a couple of random USA 1/2" sockets to help fill in some gaps on the socket rack, and a Snap-On panel removal tool. $10.
