Looks like some good deals. This is just my opinion. I have a few different brand "Channel Lock" type tools, but one brand, in particular, is the one I always go for. You might consider saving and purchasing some Knipex Cobra or Alligator (my druthers) pliers. They are light, strong, quality...

Actually, it is in my shop which is 24' x 40', but I only have one bay, due to the shop equipment (I had to stop buying equipment, due to lack of space, ha ha.). My car is lowered from stock, so I use some 2x10 ramp pieces with clip rails (so they stay put), at both ends. I use a hanging guide...

I have a low ceiling (10') and limited floor space, so I went with a mid height scissors lift, since I don't really have room for a four or two post lift. I love it. It is open between the platforms which gives me access to drive line, exhaust, etc. Plenty of room for removal of engine...

From what I can see, the bolts are grade 5. Perfect. Oh yeah, you ****!

^^^Good one!

Here is a project that I was involved with, back in the late 80's. It is a Chevrolet sponsored Unlimited 2 Seat, off-road truck. This was before there was a Trophy Truck class. I once counted how many dimpled holes there were, but can't seem to remember. Hundreds, anyway. It was quite the...

Yep, most of the fun is in the fabrication. signcrafter, I just looked at some pictures of a few other rollers to get an idea of why they put the pivots where they do. With a bit of measuring and layout on the bench, I got a better idea on the range of each movable component. You are correct...

Since I figured that I needed to roll my front fenders, I was going to buy an Eastwood fender roller, but when I saw one, I thought that I might be able to make a better one. I'm sure that I spent a lot more time and money then what I could have just purchased one for, but that is how I roll...

Ha ha. They had another one like these and 3 matching top cabinets with shelves and double doors. They wanted $750 each for them, which was a bit more than I wanted to pay. I should have purchased all of them and sold what I didn't need. They are in great shape, paint and all. My plan is to...

I picked these Lista cabinets up on CL for $825 each. They had another and I should've bought it. They are 61" tall, 56.5" wide, and 28.5" deep and hold 450lbs per drawer.

I have around $1000 in 65 linear feet of steel cabinets, including lower and upper. I prepped and painted the main boxes and had the fronts of the doors and drawers, powder coated in a textured blue. I bought them at a larger metal and miscellaneous salvage yard.

Grey on the bottom for dirt, then a blue stripe that has way too many outlets, 240v, 120v and compressed air, and white for the upper walls and ceiling for light reflection.

Weld a rod to it and pull it out. If you are worried about welding to the extension, place a washer over it with the hole centered, then weld the inside of the washer hole to the broken piece. Now weld on a nut or bolt and pull it out. Or drill and tap it and thread in a bolt.

Yep, that's what I have used for many years. Strong jaws to cut any size tie wrap I have come across, fairly narrow point to be able to get in tight spots (especially when you have to cut one around a bundle of small electrical wires), and super sharp.

Kevin, should we post on here and/or do the Google Maps thing?

I have had a Snap-On set of flush cuts, for over 25 years and they work perfectly. I have used the guns, but for me, the flush cut dykes are much more versatile. The jaws on mine are quite strong and more pointed than a regular set. I use them to remove, as well as trim tie wraps and often, in...

kazlx, that looks like a winner. Good job.

Great idea, Kevin. Looking forward to what you come up with, to organize this. I have a wrench or two.

Very nice. What sort of foam did you start with and how did you cut it?
