I would get a store markdown on a damaged 8' slab of butcher block at Menards. When shopping for my workbench top they had 3 slabs in stock, two of them were roached on the edges from forklift damage. Got those two marked down, then plan on cutting to size anyway.

I don't know of a museum, but what is the brand on the white & red one?

GAF also calls it Leak Barrier, and basically you should use it wherever the shingles get interrupted, like a sidewall, a chimney, a stove pipe, a skylight, a plumbing vent jacket/boot, etc. In this region we run two 3' courses from the gutters up the roof deck as well.

Thank you. Will probably be starting on it in a week or so. It's at my new house, in my new garage...and I'm still at the old house til next week..:( Yes, I will want a new handle. May need a new screw, depends on what I find when I dis-assemble. I know it has a sticky spot as you turn the...

LOL they are probably both right....I don't have any machinist-type equipment to make a handle, other than taking a rod and hacksaw it size, not what I am looking for. I am pretty sure I will buy one, just haven't looked enough to see where.

Thank you. Yes, it need a new handle and I noticed new ones are available from Wilton for like $160 !! The bolts and lock-downs for the swivel don't seem too bad at around $14. First I just need to get it correctly disassembled and cleaned up for evaluation. :thumbup::thumbup::bounce:

I am joining the ranks of the vise enthusiasts! Moving in to a new-to-me house and setting up my garage workbench, I could not bring myself to install a Harbor Freight vise. Looked for a few weeks and found a Wilton that seemed affordable. Now to learn about these, take it apart for cleaning...

agreed, maroon

yes. you could knock together a 2x4 frame and line it with a plastic tarp or bag and make a temporary soaking tray. do one side at a time. Or, if you could fit the whole box in trash can you can immerse it all in vinegar, as I'm sure there is other rust than just the hinges. You could also just...

this. vinegar has worked wonders for me derusting parts

I got the Eastwood $169/set of 4 dollys and applied wheel bearing grease to the axles and the ball bearings while assembling them. I am easily able to move around my '36 pickup on them.

I think the window was like 12" x36"...didn't seem to bother the cabinet at all. Its not a car chassis, its just a box to keep the sand from getting out. Since it was the top of the cabinet and the nozzle is usually pointing down or sideways, it never got a direct blast, just a bit of ricochet

I cut a window in the top of my cabinet, covered it with glass, and laid a 2 tube 48” shop light across the top

I went a bit more simple with mine. No fancy welded frame, I just unbolted the casters and made a frame of 2x4 laid on side, then put all three boxes together. Bench top is two pieces of 8’ butcher block that I still need to trim down to size Ends up at standard counter height

I was at a garage sale today and saw that very same red Columbian for $45 in the Chicago area. I don't need another vise, so I passed.

I wonder if it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for people with money to burn, and they went through the available candidates? May not be something people do year after year and may be tough to always be recruiting new students

Get lateral filing cabinets for $25 or free on Craiglist. The drawers are plenty strong enough and have enough room to hold lots of power tools and stuff. Weld some casters on the bottom and you have moveable shop storage.

I am moving into a 2 car garage. One of my "must-haves" for the new house was a three car garage, but we compromised because of excellent location, great price, good like-new condition, and only 1 mile from the grandkids. As part of the compromise I get a 10x20 storage unit only a half mile from...
