My first sale of the New Year woo hoo! First thought on glimpsing this under a table full of overpriced cheap tools was "Whaaa? A Craftsman sewing machine??" Well, no. But it's in pretty good condition, runs, bearings tight and includes the edge guide, original blade wrench and a spare blade...

Probably wouldn't last any longer - but I have thought about fabbing up the insides out of sheet metal. Wildly impractical time-wise, but an interesting project.

That's a good idea -but it's as big as the 29-bit boxes, just thinner. Good to know about the Huot website- great selection

I had a Ridgid drill index that met my needs, but though the case was steel, much of the insides was plastic. It wore out/broke to where the bits don't stay put any more. I've looked for a replacement but haven't found one yet. what's unusual is it has two each of the smallest (most easily...

Halleluja!! Maybe premature - but as of 9 this morning, USPS tracking shows my victim's package is Out For Delivery!! ... and a mere 16 days after it was mailed. How's that for irony - I was the first to open a package, and my recipient may be the last to open his. Could be worse - another...

I've done similar leveling with nothing but a small bottle jack and cribbing. I think the one I used most was maybe 1 1/2 tons, and it was more than enough. For what you describe, the hardest part may be digging deep enough to get new footings below the frost line. Others have pointed out the...

NEX--you **** sooooo bad. I'm green with envy - Wilton green!!

Looks like there's enough meat to pin it in two or three places. Use ring shank nails, and form more rings on the smooth part to give it lots t hold onto. Drill loose holes, fill with JBWeld, apply to all the broken edges, slam it all together quick before it starts to set. that might be...

Ok, I walked into that one. Let me revise: "Any RELEVANT suggestions...etc.

Ohhhhhh!! I never knew that ... or even noticed the green light for that matter. The things ya learn if yer not careful!

I have made (actually based on an existing) an animated smilie I think would be good here. I've created 10 individual GIF's, matching the resolution and colors of the existing smilies. What I haven't been able to do - or even find instructions on -is string them together into one animated...

Last chance for '20 has come and gone, and still I don't even know where his SS gift is, much less when it might possibly arrive. USPS:rant:

Re: Missing tool...hope I'm not alone![emoji38] Me too - because Secret Santa gave me four of them this year!!xmas

LiquiTube is better, but harder to find.

Grrrrr Now a day past the already-late delivery date and my victim's gift is still just "in transit". No idea where, just en route to next destination.

Self Piercing screws are the best, strongest for what I use them for - attaching wiring devices to steel studs. Since they don't remove any metal, there's a lot more for the threads to grip. Not as easy to find as the self drilling screws, but they're out there.

On most dual-voltage motors there is a wiring diagram on the plate that covers the wiring compartment. IF so, take the cover off and see what color wires are connected what other colors. It's usually pretty easy to see which way it's connected. 120V and 240V plugs/ receptacles are different...

Looks like I'm first to open! For family reasons, MOAO and I have always celebrated on Christmas Eve, so even though for the first time we're staying home and celebrating with just us two, we still did it today. The gifts were all very nice - boar hide gloves- looked too small, but they fit...

Bah, humbug! Mailed goodies to my recipient Monday 12/21 (late, waiting for the last thing to get to me), tracking says it finally left here today, Thursday. Yeah, Christmas Eve. Estimated arrival Monday, 12/28. :sad:

Ditto -- is it a reclaimed bowling lane?? Semi-camoflaged with dark stain?
