Has anyone seen vintage brown and sharpe workbench legs before. I just picked these up. I found them in their 1909 catalog. I’m trying to figure out what they might be worth even though I might just use them since they would actually clear the footing that sticks out 3”x8” on my garage walls...

So I got this jointer a few months ago for a really good price. The only problem is the stand isn’t a cabinet for the chips can collect, and it’s just sits too high. I was thinking about shortening the stand but then I found a delta Rockwell jointer long bed with cabinet which is a better...

Hi I recently picked this snowblower up. I think the previous own let it sit in snow and/or with salt all over it an a lot of it was rusted. I took most of the rusted pieces off and soaked them in evaporust and painted them. The only issue I have is the throttle control lever seems to keep...

Can anyone help me identify these lathe legs? I got them with a Craftsman atlas lathe but they don’t match any atlas legs I’ve seen pictures of. I just stripped the old paint and cleaned them up.

Are any of the sub $300 benchtop planers decent? I’m not going to be using it too often but will be planing down boards for a kitchen island and stair treads. In the next month. Then I might only occasionally use it. I know I can get a DeWalt DW734 for $350 but I rather only spend $250 if I can...

This is not exactly garage building but a construction question. We are starting a remodel to open up the floor plan in our house. The wall is bearing the weight of the ceiling joists. We expected to have to install an lvl beam, but the engineer is speccing us to convert the rafter roof framing...

Does anyone know of a close matching spray paint to baldor blue. I'm restoring a baldor motor and might as well paint it while I'm at.

This motor came with a craftsman bandsaw I purchased a while back. Finally getting around to rebuilding it. It's a 1/2 HP 1725 RPM. I like this motor because it's sealed so less dirt and grime can get inside. I'm assuming these are bronze bushings Does anyone know what this material is in...

Is this ok per electrical code? I would want both switches in the same box. These would control my overhead garage lighting. They are plug in led shop lights.

I'm sure everyone has one tool that always seems to be missing when you need it. For me, it's my 3/8" ratchets. They seem to grow legs and find hiding places. I was changing an idler pulley last night and 3 of my 4 3/8" ratchets are nowhere to be found. The worst part is I just cleaned my entire...

I have a 5/8" and a 3/4" thick steel plate I'm going to be cutting to build a vise stand. Both plates are going to have a few curves in them. My plasma cutter is a hypertherm 380 but it's only rated to cut 3/8" thick steel. I've only ever cut 1/4" with it. Can I gouge out half way thru and...

I read a few articles where you can weld cast iron using stainless 308 or 309 wire. I understand you would have to preheat the item you're welding, then allow it to slowly cool after welding by burying it in sand. Has anyone tried this method? I have some broken cast-iron I'm going to practice...
