I don't see a whip holder on that "sulky". It would seem to me that the rider would need a way to physically get the attention of the driver.

Congrats!

In my shop, I built custom cabinets for my router, disk/belt sander, and planer. Each has open shelves under the top where I store my tool cases like those. Each case is marked with an appropriate color sharpie so I can quickly find the right tool

Nice job cleaning up those tools!

What you say is true on larger bits. The most common bit that I would like to sharpen is a 1/8" hex shank and the shortness of the bit results in the hex part being engaged by the grips and preventing the bit from being sharpened. Not knocking the tool - I love my model 700, but would like to be...

Thanks for posting the pics of Goodwood. That is an event I would dearly love to attend.

Not to derail your thread, but I sure wish someone would come up with an adapter that allows sharpening hex shank bits!

One of the many afflictions I seem to suffer from is the inability to carry a tool set just as it was purchased. Many years ago I inherited or acquired some tool sets that I decided would be a good basis for a computer desk tool kit, truck tool kit and side by side tool kit. But I just had to...

I have recently been working on my household inventory and sorting through both socket sets and wrench sets. I have not found a single Craftsman set where the parts numbers are in the same sequence as the sizes (either increasing or decreasing). Wish I could shed some light on why, but it may...

Under each of the bends is a piece of angle iron to add rigidity and the screws hold the angle iron in place.

Forgot to take a before pic. Moved the tire stop about 2" to the left to make sure I can continue to park my truck in the garage without running into the wall. The stop had twisted and migrated to the right from its original installed position. The hard part was getting it off the tiles and...

Yesterday, I wrapped up my coaster holder project. The four recycled trophy plaques were used to make the left and right holders and some scrap red oak was used for the middle one.

Sorry to hear about the wife. Hope she has a speedy recovery. I can understand how that happened, since I broke an arm in a bike wreck and it was not diagnosed until weeks later, after I continued to complain and was sent to an orthopedic surgeon.

So, I guess if you are out in the woods with no access to chemicals, you would recommend ******* on your handkerchief and applying that? Since urine contains ammonia? Has anyone tried that?

Amen to the time issue. The good part of that is such projects lend themselves to periods when you can only spare a few minutes at a time in the shop. Can't take credit for the edge gluing of sacrificial boards - found the idea on the internet somewhere - of course I may have sacrificed wood...

I mentioned a couple posts back that I was going to try to turn some old trophy plaques into some coaster holders. This is an update on that project and some warnings concerning what I learned the hard way. First, I found a suggestion on the internet somewhere that one could use double sided...

I, too, have a combination shop. As long as I keep the tool box drawers closed, I don't have very much accumulation of dust. Every few years, I remove my tools and wipe them down and vacuum out the drawers - never had a problem with the dust sticking to tools.

Here is a picture of the sets I am talking about: I apologize for the photo quality, but hopefully it is good enough to picture the labeling. I mainly brought this up because if someone out there is trying to complete a set, it might be helpful to know that each wrench was not marked the same...

I discovered out in my shop today one larger size wrench from the same Indestro set and it is also marked Indestro. I am the original owner of this set and have only lost one wrench in my life - my JCP 12-13mm dropped into an oil drain pit in a service station.

I should have been clearer. My question is about the inconsistent brand names on wrenches acquired as sets. Thank you for the referenced article. Yes, those are the markings on my wrenches. They were acquired as a set and I thought it strange that only the smallest wrench has the Indestro name.
