    Glad you like it :) Here's a picture of the Storage wall. Sadly it is too tight in there for any good pictures. The wall is 3 sections. Depth is 706mm. The two sections to the right are 2,5m high, the left one is 2,0m high. The width of the sections are (L to R): 1190mm, 1020mm and 1428mm.

    Old Pferd angle grinder. I have no idea of the age. Maybe the nameplate gives a clue to someone ? Maybe it's 1985 but that doesn't sound right: My father gave it to me a year ago since he figured he wasn't going to do much more heavy grinding, and I can't imagine he bought this in 1985.

    Here's two of my Lista cabinets. When I get around to replacing the Hazet 180 toolwagen the plan is to get a Lista cabinets with wheels. The same width as the left one in the picture but 100cm height instead of the 80cm of this one. I suppose there isn't even a point in asking if anyone wants...

    Thanks for the offer! Naaaa.. Even though it would look cool it would not help. There are too many drawers already and having the double amount of drawers will only add to the confusion. When I decide to do something about it it will be a Lista cabinet on wheels. It will reduce the number of...

    Tools from the old world

    Hazet 180-8 and 180 K-4. I really like the quality and style but it is too small. The bottom wagen was full the same day I got it, the top one, which I got about 6 months later, was full at once too. I'm considering getting a Lista cabinet with wheels. It will have about the double the total...

    Blades for Ingesoll rand air saw ?

    I have seen that all the IR blades have holes in them, and I found it quite weird. Will the screws just fit against each other inside the hole when used with blades with holes in them ? I was imagining that it would cause issues with side-to-side movement but that might not be the case ?

    Swindens vice issue

    I have a Swindens rotatable vice and it is very practical, but the other day I noticed that there was quite a bit of resistance while moving the jaws in and out. I took the thing apart without finding anything wrong, but when I put it together again I found the cause of the drag. The side of the...

    Blades for Ingesoll rand air saw ?

    I have a Ingersoll Rand airsaw and I can't find blades for it. The blades that came with the saw doesn't have holes in them and all I can find are blades with holes. As can be seen in the pictures the saw has two opposing bolts that keep the blade in place. Any info where I can find blades like...

    the beginning of an epic journey to garage-dom

    Regarding the crack:. I am pretty sure you will get quite a few more cracks during the first year or two. It has to do with the curing of the concrete, the quality of the concrete and the amount of rebar you have put in. One of the easiest ways to minimize cracking is to use fiber-rebar mixed in...

    Need Help With Heating System

    For your budget I would get a air/air heatpump and a propane burner for extra heat when the heatpump can't keep up. That will provide very cheap heating down to at least -5 degrees C. I imagine the heat pump will keep your shop hot enough at least 90% of winter days if correctly sized.

    Thank you flybefree! If it were a real Bridgeport I am sure you are right. Mine is a Chinese knock-off so I am sure I could get any color I wanted as long as i paid for it :) I am also sure mine will acquire the proper color after a few years of use too :bounce:

    No problems with that. We have electricity here too :thumbup: Besides, both are small machines: 1500w motor on the lathe I think, and 3000w on the Bridgeport-clone. Nothing like a 20hp pacemaker sadly..
