I have bought, sold, collected, and traded tools for many years. I have had literally hundreds of boring machines, but this is the first one still packed in the original factory crate and packing material. Millers Falls boring machine circa 1912. Still nailed into the original crate with 3...

Tell me what is good and what to avoid. We have 40 PSI and the showers are weak, especially with two heads going at once :D. We have a pressure tank and pump that is currently in-op left from the previous owners. The setup looks roughly like this one. The plumber wants to can it all and...

If so, who are you using? How is the service? Do you stream Netflix, others? T-Mobile is now un-rating streaming from most major providers, meaning it doesn't count in your bandwidth ceiling, but it is for mobile devices. Anybody use it for home WIFI? We are moving to an area where cellular...

What have you tried? POCO wants $25 and $9.50 a month for a security light.

I had an interesting and eventful Sunday afternoon at my old shop. I was swapping out some cabinets in the garage apartment. It was hot and humid so I flipped on the heat pump AC. After 10-15 minutes of cooling it flipped the main breaker on the 200A SquareD homeline panel. I went to the...

Saw this shop in Bar Harbor area last week. Does anybody know what wood they use for the siding? Is it stained or natural?

Anybody have experience with a lake connected heat pump, either open or closed loop. Looks like I'm buying a waterfront house on a constant level spring fed lake. Geo thermal has always interested me. I have one friend that did the two wells approach. Seems like it worked ok. We seldom...

We have been thinking about adding some garden paths to our landscape, probably crushed stone with a steel edging. I'm familiar with the 10' steel sections that go together with stakes and I'm not crazy about it. Does anyone make a steel edging in long lengths coiled? What other types have...

Ok, Steevo gave us a fabulous bench design. I just finished my first one with one to go. Now I want hutches or shelf units to go above the bench. My old wooden ones look shabby now. Post your pics please.

I ended up with a dozen medical oxygen E tanks. These are steel and out of date on hydro. I also have the carts and constant flow regs. Any market or uses for them?

I saw these on Practical Machinist awhile back. I break punches periodically, so I decided to make some I can replace easily.

Split head hammers have become my favorite new old tool. I use them like a third hand for adjusting the mill, seating parts in the lathe chuck, assembling stubborn parts, etc. They are currently made by Garland in Saco, Maine as they have been for many years. In the past they were also made...

I went for years trying to buy an arbor press around Dallas and east Texas. They just don't show up here. Back in October a Famco #3 (3 ton) showed up on Craigslist for $75. I bought it over the phone. After I got it home, tore it down and cleaned it, got it painted, made a new arm for it...

I bought two of the 44" HF toolboxes today ($349) and one 44" top ($279). I was thinking about the top for a machinist box and the two bottoms for a Steevo bench. Now I'm not sure. They are nice as is. I have a 96"x24" butcher block top ready to go and a spot picked out. Just have to decide...

I just found out my utility company has rebates for heat pumps based on SEER, up to $500 for 17 SEER, at least 2 ton. It doesn't ask if it for the house or what. Anybody else claimed a utility rebate on their garage mini-split?
