I was thinking of doing a rotating grinding station someday too, but haven't put much thought into it yet. Subscribed.

Cool! I've been thinking about bat-boxes for a while, the girlfriend really wants some.

Don't mention it when she gets back, just wait for the reaction when she notices. :P

Wow. It really is weird how little understanding some people have of machinery. At my work (machine shop) recently I wound up "fixing" a gas-powered snow-blower and a gas-powered pressure washer that "haven't worked for about 3 years". Pulled the carbs apart, they were perfect. Both had good...

Depends on the precision you need I guess, if you need to be precise to within .0001" then it won't work of course. Otherwise it should be alright. Use your mag-base to fix your indicator to the body of the mill and have it touching on a flat area of the part, then just run the part back and...

We have a fab section, but maybe adding a "wrenching" section would be good? Could cover anything people are fixing rather than making, as well as mechanical questions. Might keep the general and tool boards a bit cleaner.

Love it, keep posting your projects! They're always inspiring! How's the shop going? Is your son picking things up?

Wow. I'm a dunce, that's a great idea! :P Thanks a lot pattenp, Clearly I need a beer and a break from electrical. :P

Alright, I've been doing my electrical for a couple months now, with many MANY hassles and delays, but I'm almost done now except I have 1 more stupid issue (hopefully the last) I'm using a few feet of coated teck-style conduit to run my conductors between the meter base and the panel, and...

Those look great! Clean and simple.

Man, the farm truck is gorgeous too. Love the Willys, like you said, they're utilitarian. Just no frills tough cool trucks. I'm sure every man here is jealous of the guy with two Willys! (GOD, that was a bad joke, but just had to)

That flatty is awesome looking. I love the lettering, you definitely have to pay some extra attention to that!

Wow. I love Willy's! That is going to be awesome!!

Propane or that little screen makes me think natural gas...

Oh my lord, everything else may have to be on the backburner for a while... I agree with the dry ice though, otherwise as the ice melts your case will just get soggy, leak, and fall apart. Also... 2 bottles of tonic, 1 of gin?? Did you get those two mixed up? And WHERE DO YOU GET THE LIME??? :P...

A magnet tray might be nice for hardware. If you get a strong enough strip-magnet and put it on the underside of the table at the end of the trough it should hold any bits of hardware from rolling into the trough too.

Haha the Crip-walk in Taber: land of corn. Love it. :P

Cool! Whereabouts in Alberta are you? Subscribing to this for sure! I don't really understand the high-end boxes either, I'm a fan of old Beach tool-boxes or for the money go get a Lista or Rousseau. But this will be damn cool!

Aw, RIP, Micky. Sorry to hear that, Colin.

That makes perfect sense. Thanks for explaining!
