Was able to find a super clean CRAFTSMAN block grinder with pedestal to add to my CRAFTSMAN collection. Was hoping to find a 1/2 HP but I can always upgrade. What is my best bet for adding rubber pucks to the bottom as feet? I see some with casters, but I am afraid I would be chasing it...

I am getting ready to install 3 new garage doors and was wondering if anyone has improved on the slotted angle iron brackets that they screw to the ceiling to hold the ends of the track up. Looking for something a little more eye appealing then the standard set up.

Picked this up at an antique store a few days ago For $45 I was hoping I would get the rare angle adapter with it!! Could not wait to get it cleaned up and installed. Used it last night while doing a restoration project and it was like having a third hand! Would like to find another base or...

I have been talking about starting this project for the last few years and finally bit the bullet. I will be doing this in stages, but the roof was the weak link. The steel roof would condensate and almost "rain" inside. I had stuff that was rusting worst inside then if I would have put in...

I have a 24 by 60 shop that I need to remove the metal roof for replacement. I went up and checked and it is nailed on with fairly large ring shank nails. I tried my "cats paw" nail puller and it works on some of the nails, but pulls the heads off others. Any ideas? Slide hammer nail...

Not sure how rare these are, but I see a lot of 50's Craftsman equipment with the incorrect motors. Got this at a swap meet for $20. Figured that it will not hurt to have a spare. 1/2 HP CRAFTSMAN 1953 vintage. Runs quiet and smooth.
