Updated June 16th, 2017. I have some Craftsman Block Grinder parts i'm selling from a 1/3 HP flat top and a 1/2HP round top. I have some vintage craftsman bandsaw parts 1950s craftsman 8" table saw housing. $15

My dad picked this guy up a long time ago and never did anything with it so he gave it to me. I will eventually restore it and maybe mount it on a hinge on the side of my band saw stand. This is my tan/gold craftsman stand I haven't put my band saw on it yet.

Can anyone help me identify this compressor or vacuum pump?

So I have two rain barrels I got from a friend for free and I'm finally getting ready to set it up. I'm using these. I believe they are former olive shipping containers. The top ring unscrews. Should I just simply direct the down spout to the top above of the barrel, or do I need to have it...

I just picked up this Reed No. 104R yesterday for $60. It's has almost no rust and not much paint to strip. My plan is to take it apart, clean it, paint it red, and polish the handle. The jaws are cast into the body. These are in excellent condition.

Has anyone used a checkering file? I have a Parker vise I bought off eBay and the jaws are parallel but almost smooth. I'm trying to find a way to file some grooves back into them.

Is this Mac tools air ratchet worth trying to fix? Found it in a vintage craftsman tool box I picked up yesterday for $40. Looks like the top is slip/cracked. I don't think it's supposed to be split. ~Veeps

I was going to go pick this one up Friday but I think I rather pass it along to another GJ member that needs one. I like the look of my current Duro drill press. And it's 1hr 45 min from me. PM me and I will text the seller tomorrow and tell him I'm not picking it up but you are...

#1 So a month ago I went to look for one of my air ratchets to change a starter in my truck. It's Missing. There are only 4 friends that ever borrow tools and all say they don't have it. So It's still missing. Luckily I have another air ratchet that I was able to use. But it's still missing...

I have a metal sanding/polishing question. I have some small raw steel parts that I will be polishing. What grit sandpaper do I need to go up to if I want to remove all scratches in raw steel before polishing with the buffing wheel. Also I remember a long time ago in high school, using oil...

So I was searching for a shop vac hose reel and I saw some on Amazon, but they are really expensive. Then this video popped up in my searches. This guy made a homemade reel using a hose swivel from an old vacuum. I thought it was pretty clever and seems pretty easy to make one.
