    Lets compare USA Vice-Grips to Chinese Vice-Grips

    I agree. I bought some a few months ago, and the damn thing wouldn't stay clamped! It always wants to spring open.

    Nomad Welding Table from Northern $149

    I've been thinking of getting one too (good for us guys with limited space). I thought they were $129 a few days ago? Inflation, I guess.

    He guys check this out, you wlill be amazed

    That looks pretty good. My uncle was trying to get me to buy some stuff that you put on your hands (kinda like lotion). It repels oil/grease very well. He demo'd it to me by changing the brakes with one hand sprayed, while the other was left untreated. The treated side was super clean, while...

    wish I would have....

    I actually asked my builder about that. He said there were obstacles to floor drains in a residential home because of the likelihood of oil/fluids getting in the water system.

    Where To Get Wood Pallets (preferably FREE) ??

    Oh, I also have a local pallet recycler that I've bought from (in a pinch). It was $4/pallet but the price has gone up to $6/pallet.

    Where To Get Wood Pallets (preferably FREE) ??

    I just recently went to a local strip mall, got about half a dozen there... then I hit my local grocery store, got about a dozen half-sized ones. Walmart was a bust, as was local Home Depot.

    How to dress up a lateral filing cabinet

    haha, the stickers sure camouflage the cabinets! I just rattle-canned mine to match my workbenches. Wish I'd just used a foam roller, the overspray was ugly.

    Pro Welders weigh in

    I compare those welds to my commercially built/bought trailer, and sadly, those aren't that bad. Mine had tubing that was only welded on 1 side ( I'm talking cross members here). Some of the weld joints were blown through. Fought with manufacturer for almost a year now. My point is, those...

    Smoking deal on a Vise!

    Just don't offer that to him. He's likely to come on here and rant about lowballers on CraigsList.
