Got to use these new in box clamps. They’re pretty awesome.

Found items at the local thrift store this past month. Brand new grip mates, never thought I would find a set locally. Also a new in the box “shopbox”. Gave that one to my mom. She loves it, it’s like a big pocketknife she says. It’s in her SUV’s trunk area holding her straps, duct tape and...

Your type E should have 2 usable heights. Mine has a slightly lower height that locks and puts it just about 1/8-1/4” higher than my type2.

It sure is, couldn’t pass on it. I have a fairly well abused 300 over at my folks place that I may be able to rob the crank from.

Found a fairly decent H-frame here locally on marketplace, $20. Plywood tops are in great shape. Gonna have to source a new handle, left crank is a Mickey Mouse deal.

Agreed, dual purpose. Damage guard and also helps keep dust/chips out of the threads. You can see the accumulation of dust in my pics, that would otherwise clog the threads. BTW, just waned you to know your resource page is a great read, thanks for compiling the info for us.

Ah yes there’s 3, my mistake. By feel, the top position is very sturdy by comparison. The lower ones have a bit of play with mild body weight/pressure on the boards.

Some differences between my type E and my type 2. The screw has a dust shield built into the nut on the type E. Not there on the type 2. Also the type E has gradations, I’m guessing centimeters. The latches on the type 2 only allow for one height, 31”. The type E seems to have two heights...

Top is definitely a 67 ford galaxie.

Its a wilton 9-600 machinist's vise. Opens to 9", with 6" jaws. Made around the late 60's. Remove the entire dynamic jaw and you should see a date stamped into the bottom of the round slide/barrel. Weighs about 160lbs if memory serves. Price will vary by condition and mostly location, but any...

Two stamps on passenger side both dynamic and static, REED 404 02/06 and 11/16 Going with 11/16 as the date stamp.

I think I can blame Tim Allen for a lot of my adult shenanigans, I especially loved the man bathroom with like 18 shower heads lol (a future project of mine haha) Lis2323, thats a great looking sturdy setup. One year older than myself, and in better shape too lol. Thanks for sharing the idea.

That should match your set well, green right? Should look awesome.

Great shop, love the rig too.

Re: DRIVESITFAR IS GETTING ORGANIZED in his 9x15 portion of 2 car garage. DIY’s & COO The doghouse comments make me chuckle here. Its always a balance, but hey you got a solid workout in with those bricks....been there. This image seems appropriate.....maybe I should go hang those curtain rods...

It was free and quick haha. I'm thinking to myself, yes its a bit hokey. But, it works, the boxes are sturdy and don't wobble. Also if I need more height, its a matter of a few turns or even change out to carriage bolts. They left no scratches on the floor either:thumbup:

If referring to mine, that was one of the reasons why I left the castors on initially. With the 6” drop, I had planned on a PT frame of 2x4s, or at the least PT 1/2” plywood to take the moisture hit if I did have a spill/flood. In the end, I decided to let the box sit on the caster bolts which...

Enjoying the build here man. Cool to see the cheap scores and upgrades.
