    Concrete grinding question

    Yep, I know exacatly what you're talking about, and I have wanted to "make" the turbo crazy for a little while now, but have been waiting to come across a cheap oven, and one that gets hot enough, so I haven't gone that route yet.

    What's the best creeper to buy

    I have the same harbor freight creeper as Joe above. I really love it. I think I got it for $17 with a coupon probably around 2 years ago. The shape is very comfortable and it is fairly large in width and length, while still being low to the ground. I think the large size is a big part of what...

    Concrete grinding question

    Wow, a coffee roaster AND a woodworker?! Me too! What is your chosen method of roasting coffee? I've tried a few different methods over the past year or so and have ending up using a whirley pop with an electric drill hooked up to it. Back on topic...I have used the 4 1/2" diamond cup wheel...

    Out growing my craftsman tool box

    Personally, I opted for 2 of the HF (US General) 26" boxes, which I keep side-by-side. I only have 1 or 2 tools that are too wide to fit in the boxes, but most wide tools can fit inside the lid of the top box, if not in one of the drawers, or diagonnally. I'm VERY happy with these boxes, and...

    Harbor Freight 6 free tools coupons no purchase necessary in store only

    I went last night and they would only let me get one free item per person, but I had one of my kids with me so they let me get 2 items. Got a light and a tape measure. Love the light already and will try to get many more before these coupons expire.

    What finish for solid hardwood flooring?

    Thanks everyone. I'm leaning towards the varathane since I like the benefits of water-based, and my local Lowes store has it. Thanks for the advice.

    What finish for solid hardwood flooring?

    I would like to see what specific brands/types some of you might recommend for a protective/durable finish for solid oak hardwood floors. Fast-drying is a must, but so is durability (3 young kids in the house). This will be new/unfinished flooring going down, it is not a re-finish, so any...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    cagullett1: I have the pair of folding sawhorses from your first link, item 41577 I like them. They feel sturdy once you set them up, but they are top-heavy since the legs are fairly thin metal (but still plenty strong), and the tops are a thick componsite of some kind, but I do like that the...

    Lowe's Clearance Thread 2014

    I'll add another vote for this one. I bought it a while back at $20 and I don't feel cheated even though the price is less now. The ratchet by itself is worth the price, and the extension and socket are a great bonus. Right now it is coming up as $18 on their site for me, but I see that others...

    Porter Cable or Rockwell cordless drill?

    I have an 18v Porter Cable LiIon that I've owned for about a year and I have really enjoyed it. I have have two drills and one impact driver that all use the same batteries. I moved up from an old Makita NiCad, so it was a big step up, and I can't really compare to Rockwell or other brands, but...

    Easiest/cheapest way to remove oil stain on driveway

    I had quite a bit of dirty engine oil spill out of the top of my catch pan. I guess the cap on top wasn't pulled up all the way. Anyway, there is a 4ft x 1ft stain on the driveway now that I would like to get out. This is on rough/pourous, white concrete. What are some methods that you have...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    I've used it on several projects in the last couple years and it has worked well for me. I wasn't willing/able to spend $100+ on a good "name brand" one and I have been happy with it. So far I've only used a flush trim bit in it and used it to flush trim edge banding on woodworking/furniture...

    Husky 40" 10 drawer tool cabinet/chest

    Zeke, you are correct, less than $300 for top and bottom, but from the feedback I'm getting, it sounds like you get what you pay for. As good as that price is, I think the 50lb weight limit per drawer will not stand up over time for me. I was ready to go back and buy it, but I'm glad I asked for...

    What is this Paramo vice worth?

    No handle for it. I'll take a look on the inside since it has been a long time since I have even opened the jaws. I'll measure the jaws also and get back to you. Thanks!

    What is this Paramo vice worth?

    I'm sizing down the amount of tools in my garage and am wondering what this Paramo vice might be worth. The overall length is about 19" from the base on one end all the way to the end of the square drive adjuster at the other end. It is ridiculously heavy and in good shape other than being...
