    Outdoor tool usage/storage ideas?

    I have a LARGE Vise mounted on a pedestal just outside the garage at the corner of the garage. I keep it covered with a plastic 55 gallon barrel that I cut one end off of. It’s something I thought about doing a long time ago but only did it a couple years ago. I wish I had done it sooner because...

    Show us your arbor press!

    Thanks, and I’m guessing 2,000 lbs.. I’m going to post a link, and it shows the Model 5 at the top of the page at 1800 lbs., but when you scroll on down it shows the model 501 with the two swing out arms, it’s a bit different and I believe it weighs a bit more...

    Average cost to lay concrete block

    Thought I’d open this old thread up instead of starting another one, since the cost of lumber is sky high. Anyone know what the current cost of laying block would be? By the Hour? By the block? By the square ft?

    Show us your arbor press!

    I just finished my 15 Ton Dake Resto. It’s complete except for re-installing the brass tags, and I plan to make a center cap for the hand wheel.

    The Machine Work Thread

    FYI. It’s not a direct replacement from Dake. It looks similar but it’s about a 1/4 larger in dia. than the original. If I had it to do over I’d make sure and get an offset hand wheel so the outside doesn’t come as close to the main body of the press. If you use the outer ring to raise it...

    Husqvarna Chainsaw leaking Bar oil

    It didn’t take four years, I just haven’t messed with it in that period of time. I haven’t needed it, but I’m anticipating buying a lot to build on, so I’m going to need it.

    Husqvarna Chainsaw leaking Bar oil

    I read an article online that said to fill before use and not after. I guess I’ll try that before I tear it down all the way. I just wanted it to be ready for the next time I used it. I had a little 14” McCullough, and I never had this much oil leak from it. That was the best little chainsaw...

    Husqvarna Chainsaw leaking Bar oil

    I have a Husqvarna 435 Chainsaw. I only used it one time, I know it’s supposed to supply oil for the chain but after storing it in the case, the majority of the oil leaked out into the case and onto the floor. No it wasn’t dropped or damaged in any way. It was NOT a return item, it was new...

    What are these style air fittings called?

    Looks like a flare with a shoulder or flat/face combined? Never seen one. Is it coolant? Hydraulic? Or?

    Most comfortable work boots?

    Redwing ***** in my opinion. Our workplace gives us vouchers for 200.00 worth of shoes/boots every 1.5 years there. Only thing I found comfortable at Redwing was their black flat bottom shoe. I’ve had a pair of Danner boots for about 6 years now that I still wear but are for the most part worn...

    The Machine Work Thread

    Bought a Dake 15 Ton Arbor Press, been working on the top end a bit. Hand wheel had been broke previously, so I bought a new one. Drilled then bored the hole to size, now it’s set up to drill and tap the set screw hole, then one more hole for the handle. Handle will get powder coated black...

    The best wrench holder I've ever used ...

    I made these wrench holders out of Foam for use on my Trike. It keeps them from rattling , and I was able to get more wrenches in the compartment than using those forked up holders. It’s not Kaizen foam, but I was able to just sharpen a scraper really sharp and kind of dig out the holes. If...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I still paid a decent amount for this one even though it’s not in perfect shape. I Still paid way less than some that big on Ebay. It’s a 15 Ton Dake with 5 coats of paint the best I can tell, and all that paint had contributed to it not working properly. Paint was down in the root of the teeth...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Unloaded this. If I didn’t have a Gantry I probably never would have got it off the trailer.

    Wanting a Floor Model Arbor Press

    Looking for a floor model Arbor Press. NOT a bench model on a stand thanks. I like the Atlas Models, might take a Famco, Dake might be out of reach ? I don’t really care for Greenerds all that much. If you have one you’d part with and aren’t more than a few hours from Indy please Message me.

    Showoff your work tables (not benches)

    Here’s my table. I call it my “Rebuild Table” It’s nothing fancy, mostly wood except for the Top. I used Bathroom Stall Walls for the top. I had bought quite a bit of it off craigslist several years ago. Being nylon or HDPE or whatever it is, it doesn’t scratch up the part you’re working on...
