    Woohoo, got another bench grinder.

    Thank you craigslist. I've been after another one since I bought my 1/3HP one from an estate sale in March. Saw this one on CL a couple hours ago and called immediately. 1/2HP Craftsman 397.19590. The left eye shield glass is unfortunately broken and the right wheel guard is missing but for...

    Good welding gloves suggestions needed.

    So after burning the bejesus out of my finger today when a drop of slag hit my glove and melted through to skin, I realized I need some proper gloves. So, suggestions anyone? I'd prefer something that gives the dexterity of a mechanics glove over the traditional long gloves. US made would be...

    Anybody after a Baldor Polishing Lathe?

    http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/tls/3034550084.html I emailed the seller and it's a two speed type C925 1/6HP dental/jewelery lathe. I'm quite tempted, but I'm already eyeing up a Craftsman block grinder on CL (well, another one :D) Figured I'd pass this on to you guys.

    Anybody need some bulk Craftsman stuffs?

    I bought a vise off a guy from craigslist a couple days ago and he mentioned he had quite a bit of Craftsman stuff (and other stuff) he was selling as well. I don't need any of it myself (lol) figured I'd pass the pics/info along to the GJ community. :) His name is Mike. E-mail: pugh3113 at...

    FINALLY got a bench grinder

    Gotta love craigslist. It's a 1/3HP Craftsman model 397.19580. From the manual I found online it was built in 1963, so it has me beat by 18 years. :D I got lucky with the grinder being complete. Both eye shields, tool guides, spark arrestors & wheel guards are there. The light and stand...

    Decent craigslist score today.

    Picked up everything for $20. Nice assortment of Craftsman stuff. The 3/8" drive breaker bar is going to come in handy and the metric 1/4" drive socket seat is really neat. The paperboard tag in the clamshell has the old Sears Towers address on it. There's a few Crescent pieces, one of...

    Neat little basement find.

    And it was in my own basement too! http://i.imgur.com/2CgP8.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ygj6l.jpg The loose sockets in the middle are a mix of chinese/taiwan/japan. One ratchet is stamped Japan and the other is either Taiwan or China, poor fit/finish on it. The open end wrench is an Indian made...

    Torque wrench storage

    No, this isn't another thread about what lb/ft setting you should store your wrenches, thankfully. Like usual I'm running out of room in my tool chest and getting rid of the plastic blow molded cases that my three clicker wrenches are in would free up a lot of space. They're not anything...

    My meager craigslist score.

    Nothing too special, but for $10 I couldn't pass it up. Model #: 944641 http://i.imgur.com/qraLu.jpg http://i.imgur.com/f0v7u.jpg Any ideas how old it is?
