Hello all! We have 6 overhead kitchen can lights that take GX23 bulb sockets. The lighting was not the best and the bulbs never really 'snapped-in' tightly into the fixture (not a good thing when living in earthquake country). About 2-1/2 years ago I got some GX23 to E25/E26 adapters and put in...

Hello all! In my quest to get my old tools up and running, in a useful way, I have come across my 2 old craftsman table saws, one from the 50's/60's era (can't read the model number), and another from the 80's/90's era(craftsman model #113.241691) . Neither has a fence, and long ago when they...

Hello, I'm thinking of replacing the builders quality kitchen cabinets with those I make myself, but I have a question. My wife wants frameless cabinets, but is also thinking of adding under-cabinet lighting. Our current kitchen upper cabinets are frameless, and there is absolutely NO overhang...

Hello, I have an old Craftsman Router Table (Model Number 171.25490) and I am missing whatever type of bolts or screws that are used to hold the fence secure. I have tried to do some research on the internet, and found a few owners manuals/parts list but with my old eyes, I am unable to see...

Hi All, I seem to have found a jig saw that has no documentation on the web. Does anyone here know of a website or a link to an owners manual for the Black and Decker Jigsaw (No 7571 - Type 1)?? Would really appreciate any and all help!

Hi All, I cam across an old Craftsman Router (model 315.17370) and I am wondering what size router bits does it take? 1/4" inch shank, or 1/2" inch shank. I am thinking 1/4 inch but I am not sure. Anyone here know? Does anyone here have this model router?( And if so, what are your thoughts on...

Hello all, Hope everyone is doing great! We have two 8' foot tall (actually 94" inch tall X 36" inch wide, X 1/2" inch thick) sliding patio screen doors. We have always assumed they were made of aluminum but could not find anyplace that sold aluminum repair/replacement parts for this size door...

Hello all! Years ago I saw a door double-screen on a neighbor's patio screen door that was pretty good. Basically the screen door had 2 screens on it, inside & outside. On the inside of the screen door, using the grove that came with/in the screen door the guy had hardware cloth, which his pets...

This will probably sound stupid to most people here, but I am looking for ideas on organizing tools into/across several toolboxes. I wish I had one of the 8 foot long/24 drawer (or more) rolling tool boxes, but I am not so lucky. Instead I have to spread all my tools across 4 little rolling...

Hello all! I am not really sure how to ask this but I will do the best I can. We have a Keter outdoor vinyl shed (Made by KETER, 8'x6' infinity series) that we got from my brother. Unfortunately, we cannot find the screws that came with the shed, and have been told by Keter that they don't know...

Hello all! Our home has 9 foot ceilings and we also have (two) 8 foot tall x 3 foot wide aluminum screen doors. Over the years the dogs & cats have done their best to destroy/mangle/bend these doors, and I have had to 'un-bend' and rescreen these two doors several times. I thought a few times...

Hello and hope all is well with everyone! Wondering if folks know of any parts sources for hydraulic cylinder repair/rebuild. Got an old cylinder which I think came from a Lexco foot pedal operated table that doesn't work. I also have an old press that needs a new cylinder that I could use the...

Hello all! Everyone here has always been both knowledgeable and helpful in the past. So I am hoping you folks out there can help me answer my question on T-track bolts. I have a section of T-track, and some 1/4x20 hex head bolts that slide back-and-forth in the t-track just fine (and don't come...

Hello all, I have acquired 2 rolling toolboxes, both which need repair/refurbishment, and I cannot determine who made them. Both of the toolboxes will need some new drawer slides, and perhaps handles, but since I don't know who manufactured the toolboxes, I don't even know where to look for...

Hello All! I am hoping you folks here can offer advice on which way to go. Basically I have many, many hand-tools and I am looking to engrave them, starting with putting the size on my sockets. Unfortunately, with my current eyesight, it is nearly impossible for me to see the size of some of my...

Well once again I turn to those here for a little help and advice! I have a large rolling toolbox that doesn't have any handles on the ends to pull/push. I have looked at the local big box stores and about all they have are flimsy handles that look more like towel bars than tool box handles (and...

Hello everyone! Got 2 questions: Question # 1) Is there any inexpensive induction coil tool out there, or even easy instructions on how to make one yourself? I have a bunch of rusted/heat welded nuts & bolts on a car engine, some in difficult spots to reach, that need to remove and penetrant...

Hello, I've checked out some of the related posts but couldn't find one similar to my situation. We have to remove an EGR from our '95 Corolla and there is a metal pipe going from to the bottom of the EGR to the engine. There is a nut where the bottom of the EGR meets the long pipe, which if we...

Hello, we have a Goodman GMT 070.4 furnace with an air conditioner. The problem we are having is that the outdoor unit just runs and runs, never cycles. My understanding is that when you turn your AC on, the unit should read the room temp at the thermostat and work to cool to the desired...

Hi all, just wondering if anyone here knows of a good source for replacement wheelbarrow tubs/trays that don't cost more than a new wheelbarrow? My wife and I are seniors on a limited income so we can't just go buy a new wheelbarrow (or anything else really), so we pretty much repair everything...
