Yes I have, use too do it before they got popular. When I needed one I ground then on a belt grinder. 3/16 probably the smallest size I ever done. BCD.

I had one, found it was more of a pain than an advantage. I straightened the handle in the press and found that I was using it more. BCD.

Something also to consider is the decibel level. I have a corded Milwaukee and used it the other day and I didn't realize how noisy it is, with the high pitch wineing gear noise. I had to finally put on hearing protection ( probably should all the time anyway). I thinks it's the loudest over the...

^^^^^. That's what I would do, I rubber type insulation on welding cables are way more durable than the average boosters. Plus than you can make them as long as you want. They always seem to short anyway. BCD.

This one stands upright, I didn't plan it that way, but I'm glad it did. It's heavy enough too not even hold it while sweeping into it. I can post some more pictures and some dimensions later. BCD.

Haha, better get a PM program started on the computer. I thought guys would get a chuckle about this. BCD.

Yup you read that right. I got carried away in the shop last weekend and made my own shop dust pan, that kind where you don't have to bend over to use it. As long as I grease it regularly it should last me for many years to come. I really enjoyed this project, was fun used some scrap aluminum...

I would have run more 220v outlets, forgot how many 220v equipment a person can have in there shop, lathe, compressor, welder plugs, mill, bigger sanders. Supply 220 at the ceiling also to drop down for a car hoist, if your planning to get one. Also some more air outlets. BCD

Thanks for some of the pictures, the SO look like they will fit the bill, I like the idea of the comfort grip. I got talking to a friend and he just traded his old ratchets in and upgraded to the comfort grips and very pleased with then. Now for me time to go shopping, and also need to decide...

I just got a new flex head ratchet with the thumb switch. (Master Craft maximum) but after I got it home and started using it I find I almost need a screwdriver to pry the smaller sockets off. Maybe once it's wore in a bit it might get easier but I doubt it. This got me thinking is there a...

Can I list one of my favorite tools? Is my rotex punch. I look forward to using it each time. Same goes for my pocket knife. Bcd

Any 2x72 I've seen all have a 3450rpm motors. BCD

Just recently came across this vise while in Vegas, anyone want to guess where I see it? BCD.

Great idea for a thread! I also like cannons, I built one from a ruff casting I bought at a garage sale for 2 dollars. There's a local foundry in the area and figured it came from there years ago. Guys on the night shift must have poured some off. Anyway I bored it out 50 cal and made the base...
