    Any good compact drill bit storage organizers?

    You could do something like this, wood cut to fit a sardine can and small enough to put it away on a shelf.

    Jigsaw or sabre saw

    In my book, it's a sabre saw. Jig saws are those cheap and dirty (scroll saws) that you would buy your kid to cut out jig saw puzzles. The more elegant saws are scroll saws to do more professional work. A jig saw like this:

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    If you are a fan of early GRAY boxes, and you're somewhere close to Pickering (Ontario), here is a master set for $200. It has the riser box that I don't have.......but, I just do not have room for any more boxes...

    Not a complete Navage but always worth a try.

    Delta drill presses - what’s a reasonable offer?

    You know its an A hole paint job when you see the switch and cover painted over. I wouldn't be interested in that one because it has no intermediate pulley and no rack and pinion table lift........but that's just me.

    Pressure washer engine problem

    Before you look for another carburetor, try this: remove the bowl and nut and spray carb cleaner up the center cleaning the emulsion tube. Let it sit for a bit and then blow compressed air up there. It should clean things out. The emulsion tube will probably be stuck in place. I have fixed...

    Porcelain tile in garage in Canada

    Don't think I would put tiles in a garage, probably would not last long and end up being a waste of money. The only tiled garages I ever encountered was in a fancy house on Gouin Blvd. when I lived in Montreal and at Toronto's Casa Loma in the horse barn. I'd be refloating a new floor to get rid...

    O/A cart

    This is my solution, made way back and still going strong. It started out as a cart for my buzzbox, but quickly realized it was better wall mounted.

    Yes, I don't really need it, but I have a GRAY box that could easily sit right on it........was only $50 too!

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    Saw this Gedore Adjutant #1580 on FBMP, about two hours from me.......unfortunately it appears sold. Kind of different, would have made the trip if I had seen it earlier. It measures 36 X 16 X 25 inches. Guessing it was made in the sixties??

    Is this Vise slide fixable?

    I'd put that in a press and gently ease it back straight..........with some luck it won't break.

    Record (Irwin) 6VS Vice Jaws

    I bought 6" Record jaws a couple of years back from Grainger here in Toronto, for $28 CDN. They are 4" across the mounting holes. Unless you are going to put that vise to really heavy duty use, I'd just make up some from mild steel bar stock. Where are you located.......always good to know...

    Craftsman Belt Driven Bench Grinder restoration

    A stand like that could be bolted together if the welding is shakey, just takes longer.

    Craftsman Belt Driven Bench Grinder restoration

    It was just fabbed from junk steel that was laying around. A lot of people put the motor out behind which is a space waster.

    Screwdriver Sunday … let’s see ‘em

    Here's a HUSKY set that Princess Auto had on sale for less than $10 CDN. Quality is excellent, for me the only thing missing is Robertson drivers. COO is undetermined at this point. They are presently sold out at that price.

    Canada Only Deals!

    I ordered that 16 piece set of screwdrivers and you cannot go wrong with the quality and assortment. No indication of where they were made, I suspect China. That is left off everywhere. For $10 you cannot do better.
