Thanks guys! Shop cash is on a tight budget (that happens with 5 kids ya know....) So I am blessed to find the deals that I do... Some of them (like the lathes) were bought just to refurb and sell, some were sold when better things came my way... But I love these old tools, the quality...

Wow, that does look awesome! I have almost the exact same door, except my hinges are mounted right to the door, and not on the wood strips like yours. That is the only thing keeping me from doing this to mine. Although, I bet I could add the wood strips and it would still hinge the same. I...

And a few more.... Here is a scroll saw I bought at a swap-meet for $20. Why? I don't know... I had no use for a scroll saw, never used it, and ended up giving it to my brother in law. But, I refurbed it all the same. Remember that Walker Turner drill press? A killer drill for $40...

LOL and NOW I find that dang heat lamp for the chicken coop! It's hiding up on top of the cabinets! I guess I can go put that in the coop tomorrow! I am going to add some "glory shots" of some of my tools. I have them up on my website as re-builds, but a server was lost, and lots of my...

There are still a few of us cheap yankee's here in New England... I am one of them. :thumbup: The thought of blowing huge piles of cash on stuff blows my mind when you can find much better stuff if you look. That's not to say that good cash can not be spent on good stuff, but in moderation...

They should cover it, I was pleased at just how nice it was to deal with them. Back in the day when I broke the main drawer, I was quoted a good chunk of cash by the tool guy to replace them. I remember it was enough that I said no.

I will try to grab a photo of my King Seeley era 10" saw wings. That saw has the open webbed extensions and was the only part of the saw that was altered and worked on from how I bought it. The base is "so so" on how I would design it, but it does the job and is quite good for how it captures...

Nope, the slo-speed pulley is mounted to the tube itself, the drill press head needs to be raised up the tube and locked in place. That "could" hold back those who don't know better thinking it may of been jerry rigged with the belts like that. That's a great drill with a lot going for it...

so today I called the phone number on Snap-On's web site to inquire abut replacement drawer slides and top box lid pistons. I bought the box new 20 years ago and a few slides have broken and the main lower drawer has none at all. (Nasty incident with a snow plow and a sloped shop floor) :mad...

Hey, that is pretty slick! How deep is that off the wall? I have some rather thin wall rectangle tubing kicking around from some exercise equipment that I grabbed for the VS motor. That might just work perfect cut out like that (minus the fancy name!)

SK has awesome tools! In fact, I will take an SK ratchet over a Snap-On or Mac anyday. Craftsman ratchets of today?? I would buy a Stanley over a new Craftsman, heck... even Harbor Freight! Seriously though, they make some awesome tools that will not let you down. I wrenched for a living...

Wow, $70 invested for the box, blasting, & powder coating??!! That's a great deal! I would of expected the blasting and coating alone to cost almost twice that around here. Personally, I would go red given that it's a Snap-On box and not some box store box. Although, if I ever paint my...

Hey guys... Help me out here. I am looking for a way to store a couple grinders. I have a large 9" grinder and a pair of 4.5's that I am trying to figure out a good way to store them in the shop. I use them all the time, so I would like some sort of hanging rack for the wall over in a cabinet...

FWIW, I will second the look of a "raw cast iron" metallic gray on the undersides. I have done this to saw top undersides and even the webbing on open extension tables. It looks very nice with the right color.

Whew... two days later, I finished this thread! I have to say, awesome job so far! I LOVE the style of the cabinets you made. I love the art deco look and I am also a lover of old tools. I might just need to do something like this in my shop, I really love the idea of bringing the deco look...

Well guys, I need to pick up a first tool box for my oldest son. I do not want to spend a small fortune on one as it will be up-graded at some point. He is taking an automotive course at the local Voc school and we just found out that he needs his own basic hand tool set. Now I turned...

First... stop calling it a garage, and call it a shop. Then ban anything that does not belong in a shop from it! Kids bikes and old household goods can go in a garage, not a shop. ;-)

Yea, I think you may be right.... He did go by just Krusty, didn't he? Oh well, back to the subject on hand.... :headscrat

PBB?? Where the heck did my fingers get that from! How about POR? Unless there are TWO Krusty the Clown's out there which would be odd... :wtf:

Hell Krusty... I have not seen you (on-line that is) in years! I used to browse the PBB a lot about 6 to 8 years ago... I think we might have a pawn shop around here, might be worth a look...
