    A friend uses this in a building for his booth. He also places a pieces of 4" drain pipe , the kind with holes in it for French drains, under the car and hooks it to a squirrel cage fan by the door of his shop. This gives him a poor mans down draft paint booth. He gets good results too...

    Wood Ripping Advice

    Thats what a chalk box is for. No straight edge needed. I once got a job because I could cut a straight line with a Skil saw. I dought its a skill that will save your life but cutting up sheets of plywood with a straight edge sounds like a PITA to me.

    Have A Vintage Wilton Vise?

    I entered mine. Looks like its just a popularity contest through facebook, twitter. etc.. Kinda disappointed by this as I took some time and wrote a fine essay about the history of mine and how it came to be mine. Too bad that Wilton doesn't disqualify ever one who doesn't even bother to answer...

    Spring lock washers vs Tooth lock washers

    You also overlooked the wave lock washer used on a lot of German products. They simply push against and hopefully from the added spring pressure they apply, prevent a nut from backing off. Are we talking about products from Wolfsberg and Stuttgart or did anyone else use these?

    Zip Ties / Cable Ties - storage.

    I just zip tie the bundles together and keep them in a drawer in the tool box. I also dont keep a large backstock though. It gets so hot in the summer here they become brittle quickly.

    Best circular saw

    The other nice thing about the Skil is all pieces are replaceable. Drop it off a roof and need a handle, they got that, switch burns out, they got that, table bent when it hit the ground after the fall off the roof, they got that. I would not waste my money on any other. That one ^ did many...
