    Staining garden boxes

    I don't have a picture of it or I would post it. Next time I'm over at her house I will take a picture. In the meantime I just went on Google and searched - free planter box plans. This is just one of many sites that will give you plans for free...

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    Same model I picked up yesterday. There is a number on the lock. 2779 I believe. Thought about keeping it but Father's day is around the corner. Here's another question. How do I find a period correct replacement snap on tag for it? It was built in '77. I saw a the same box on eBay but it had a...

    Yeah I figured the locksmith would do it. The question I should have asked is were the original keys marked snap on? If they weren't locksmith is the way I'm going to go. Or I may try doing it myself on my dad's key cutting machine. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

    I read on I believe this topic about snap on replacement keys. If anyone knows the website or company name that would be greatly appreciated. Search function isn't working too well for me and there is 10,000+ posts. It would be quite an undertaking to go through them all again. Sent from my...

    Staining garden boxes

    When I was 15-16 I made my mom a cedar planter for mother's day. I'm 30 now and I just helped her plant her flowers in it on Monday. No stain or poly. It's still going strong. No rotting or cracking. She just empties and covers with tarp every winter. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

    Plus I live in Erie, PA. Home of the cheapest people in America. when it comes to buying anything a lot of people go super cheap. Bottom line is more important than quality around here. Me personally I can't afford new tools due to recovering from a dodgeball injury(no I'm not joking) but I buy...

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    It will replace my little kobalt top box. Only have the kobalt and an old plastic popular mechanics 3 drawer toolbox with tools in it. Since my "garage" is my laundry room I'm limited on space. Knowing what it is now I would have paid a lot more for it. I'm not a fan of snap on tools to be...

    Thanks for the model number. The emblem is missing and the lady didn't know what she had. She thought the tools were worth way more than the box. I do have to admit that the only reason I went back and got it is because the drawers slide really really well and it felt well built. Sent from my...

    Thanks. That's what I was thinking as well. The owner wanted $50 with the tools and $20 without. She kept the tools. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

    Picked up this Kennedy kk-19 for $5 earlier at a yard sale and decided to go back and grab this top box for $10. No marking on it that I have seen. Any one have any ideas? Thanks Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

    Just hit a yard sale on my lunch break. Picked up a red Kennedy KK-19 tool box and a Wizard 1/2" ratchet for $5. The box should clean up fairly well. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

    Restoring a Nicopress Cable Crimper

    I don't think acid etch will be feasible for me at the moment. I do know muriatic acid will work on rusted metal but that it can rust anything in the vicinity as well. Have you ever had any experience in using it? Apologies for all of the questions I just don't trust the internet when I find ten...

    Restoring a Nicopress Cable Crimper

    Thanks for the link. I'll have to get some. Anytime u can get good American made tools for 50 cents is a deal. Yeah you had to put some time in bringing it back to life but that's part of the fun. Plus those crimpers will outlast us all. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

    Restoring a Nicopress Cable Crimper

    I think it looks good. Nice job. This Eastwood's Acid Etch that you used... Is it something I could find in a big box store such as Lowe's or HD? Based on your results it looks like it could be pretty useful to have around to clean up some tools I've picked up at flea markets. Sent from my...
