Hmmmmm.

I retrieved this table saw from the scrap pile at my girlfriend's parents scrap removal business. 1. No motor bracket or motor. 2. No fence, guard, or other accessories. 3. Blade height/angle mech is rusty, but I suspect I can free it up. I like these vintage saws, but do you think this is a...

I am doing a head gasket job on my truck and I'd like to verify the head/block aren't warped too badly before putting it back together. Snap-On has one for $120+, Summit and Jegs have 'em closer to $50, and somebody suggested a woodworking place to me - they have one for $25. Would one of these...

http://www.lowes.com/pd_211942-47120-211942_0__?productId=3053511 I saw these in the Woodstock, GA store for $17-something, marked down from $80-something. I already have a HF cart, otherwise I'd give it a shot... so I can't say how good it is.

My house HVAC system (located in the garage, so this isn't totally off topic) has a condensate pump... however, condensation forms on the outside of this pump and drips on the floor. Not enough to be a major issue, but it does make a damp spot on the floor below the pump. Any simple fix for...

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-900089 Looks a bit more solid than the HF equivalent. Add $30 more of stuff for free shipping. I'll post pics and further impressions once mine's assembled.

Howdy, I'd like to build a storage shed so I can get some stuff out of the basement/garage. Mainly basic yard care stuff, possibly ladders, random other stuff, etc. I had in mind I'd use either corrugated or 5-V metal siding. I can build up to 120 square feet without having to bother with a...

Howdy y'all, First garage upgrade will be sufficient "juice" to run my compressor or other misc tools (120v 20A circuit). See the pic for the basic layout - this is apparently a newer circuit run by a previous owner. Garage is in the basement, so the ceiling is open joists and walls are...

Hey y'all. I'm just about to buy a house *fingers crossed*. Had the inspection today and there were no major deal-breakers, so as long as the appraisal comes back satisfactory it looks like I get my new-to-me garage in a few weeks. It should be a decent space for me for the next few years...

Pardon me if this is the wrong forum. I'm starting to look for a new garage (and house). I have been in touch with a realtor that will help me find what I want... but from the garage junkie point of view (or just things to look out for), do y'all have any additional advice? What do you think...

http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/stores_store-ads?market=ALL That Homak combo for $600 would be a winner, if I had a way to get it on Friday. :shocking:

Curious, how do you use your tool cart? 1. As your main tool box 2. Most common things in the cart, go to the box for others (or a second set of tools in the cart) 3. Just a few basics, grab what you need from the box for most jobs 4. Only as a mobile workstation - all tools are kept in the...

http://store.harryepstein.com/cp/MilitarySurplus/RA.html Kind of an interesting design... straight-ish edge like a carpenter's axe. I wonder if it's flat on one side for hewing? Anyone have one? I'm no axe usage expert, what do you think this sort of head would be practical for, and what...

I have an old pickup truck I've considered throwing some camouflage paint on. Budget is important, and I don't need it to be "nice", aside from being properly masked so I don't have overspray blocking my lights/windows. :lol_hitti I looked at camouflage wraps, but they aren't cheap. Any better...

About a year and a half ago, my father passed away unexpectedly. Out of his tools, I put together a box of "household" stuff for Mom to use if needed... the rest of it has been pretty much fair game and I've come home with an armload each time I go visit. Here's the haul from the most recent...

Would it be possible to disable inline images for quotes? I.e., JoeBlow posts pictures of his toolbox in the toolbox thread. There's 8-10 images embedded in his post. Along comes DoodleHead and quotes JoeBlow's post, including the images, and makes a short comment. Then along comes Jawn reading...

While at the flea market this morning, I stumbled across a small metal box that looked like it had "Snap-On" embossed into the lid. I flip the lid closed, and sure enough it does. Flip it back open and examine the contents... complete set of Snap-On SAE threaded stud extractors. No price marked...

My air compressor has been hemorrhaging oil out the side of the crankcase (failed gasket between the cylinders and crankcase), and I also noticed a while back if you turned it by hand it felt like it had lower compression on one of the cylinders. I got the thing apart and sure enough there was a...
