    Basement shelving and benches, looking for plastic feet for 2x4s

    Search "adjustable cabinet legs" or "adjustable cabinet feet" and you will see all the possibilities. If you have an industrial hardware shop in town, you should be able to find them locally. Good luck!

    Help identifying a few old tools in these old craftsmen boxes

    I think its a non-automatic center punch with a worn, broken, or modified end. I use one all the time for marking hinge holes. You insert the tapered body into the hinge hole and you "tap" the extended pin on the end with a small hammer. The spring compresses, and the "point" starts a shallow...

    Got me a new pup this weekend

    I think it belongs in "Free Barking";) Thanks for all the well-wishes everyone. She has been great during her first week with me. Yesterday was the first day it really rained here. I let her inside and was not looking forward to the drying off process. My first dog was a flat-coated...

    Got me a new pup this weekend

    Been watching the shelters, rescues and Craigslist for a few months waiting for something to catch my eye. There is certainly no shortage of pit bulls or Chihuahuas out there! Last week I found this ******* CL. She is a lab/shepherd mix according to her paperwork. She's 55 pound, 9 months...

    Help ID vintage Snap-On box 1930/40s

    Agreed! So many of us love vintage tools, cars, motorcycles, etc. but unless you have unlimited space and funds, we must also weigh the practical side of ownership:( My decision was easier than yours as this was overpriced and not a family treasure.

    Thank you ZKling! You are a wealth of information as usual. I agree with you on the practicality of those vintage boxes. They are neat but not particularly useful. Happy holidays!

    Hey guys, I am corresponding with the owner of these boxes. He just sent me a single pic. The top box looks like it might be a K5 but I haven't figured out the bottom box yet. I have requested more photos. He is in the next state over but I don't know how far away yet. He says it is army...

    Is this cabinet made by Lista?

    Hmmm….the plot thickens… Senlow, Thanks for the pictures! I am going to agree with you that our cabinets are most likely from the same manufacturer. Same dimensions and same construction details sure seem to indicate Lista to me. MotorHead, Thanks for all the info. I am wondering in...

    Is this cabinet made by Lista?

    Thanks for the input everyone. Zkling, you are correct that the drawers do no have separate carriages like the new Listas or my Vidmars. That is partially why I have yet to ID this one. My Google-Fu has let me down. I do like it however. Dimensions are about 27 deep, 27.5 tall...

    Vintage Stahlwille find!

    I bought this beautiful set from a 95 year old Danish gentleman last week. He brought it over from the "old country" in 1964 and believes he bought it 10 - 15 years before that. He was very proud of this set and took great care of it although he did manage to lose the long extension at some...

    Is this cabinet made by Lista?

    I picked up this cabinet last month. Seller thought it was a Lista but I can't find any labels. All the rollers are good so a quick clean and lube was all it needed to be put into service!

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Re: What's this appendage on a Wilton? Rusty: i'd pass on that swiveling Wilton because the jaws don't look right, but it is a light vise that moves in many directions and maybe the less expensive version of the baby bullet on a power arm or a versa vise. Badass just had a thread asking...
