    Need help identifying these measuring tools.

    Can't remember where I acquired these from, but I have them, and I have no idea what they might be used for.

    Where can I find a 2000s Craftsman Midnight Blue Middle Chest?

    I came across a full set on CL or FB the other day. I had set, but gave them to a friend when I got a bigger chest.

    The Everything 3D Printer Thread

    Does anyone have the full version of Fusion 360 that wouldn't mind converting an F3D to DXF for me? I need one file and don't feel like the ~$70/mo would be a good bang for the buck investment at this time.

    The Everything 3D Printer Thread

    Created a new holder for the HF nut drivers if anyone is interested in the STL. I had to print the unit in two pieces and then I'll epoxy them together. My big printer is on the fritz and my small one is only 6x6x6. The STL is one solid piece.

    Tightening a keyed chuck...

    On a lathe chuck I would always tighten all the key holes, regardless of number. I've carried that over the to the drill press to some extent.

    Tightening a keyed chuck...

    I guess I'm the odd man out, I'll tighten one hole well, then move to the next hole counter clockwise and give it a snug, then let 'er eat.

    Magnetic Nut Holder for Box Wrench

    I saw that one, but the 'usually ships' line had me questioning whether it was in stock or not. That phrase coupled with my inability to find it anywhere under any P/N made me suspicious. Has anyone purchased from tool source with success?

    what duplicate items do you have scattered around your shop?

    A lot of the older hardware that I tinker on/with is this way. Not so much on more modern stuff.

    Need Help With Exhaust Cutout Fab

    I hate to be 'that guy' but once you factor in time, fabrication materials, parts, testing and possibly screwing something up, $300 isn't that bad of a deal for proven tech.

    Adjustable Wrench using Shims(German)

    I didn't realize there was an adjustable wrench thread, if a mod wants to fold this one into that one it might simplify things ever so minutely.

    Whats the purpose of having 2ft deep footings?

    Soil conditions have a lot to do with this as well. Not good to have a basement in a soil that moves a lot, which we have here in NE Tx. It can be done, but is cost prohibitive in our soils. Cheaper to build out/up than down.

    Bright Green paint

    I painted my son's go-kart with that same paint. Had to use a primer under it and then 2-3 very wet coats, so wet that we had runs in some places. It's not the best paint job, but it's a go-kart so it's no big deal.
