Keep in mind, I do my own vehicle repairs when I can, I'm not a professional mechanic. Several years back, I had to buy a GM fan clutch wrench to change a water pump. The stupid thing rounded off the nut that secured the clutch to the water pump. I ended up having to replace everything from...

It's good to hear some positive news about about a parts store for a change.

http://fayar.craigslist.org/tls/4767170438.html I'm not sure if this is a bargain, but there appears to be quite a bit there.

My neck could not take that kind of abuse.

It's absolutely worthless. To ensure proper disposal, you must forward all of it to me. I'll even waive disposal fees if you'll cover shipping costs. ;)

If your sanders can't be revived, try some local pawn shops. You'll find a lot of junk sanders, but you might find a older one that's been overlooked because it's older.

Whitworth... what are you restoring? A british made Royal Enfield? Norton? Matchless?

http://fayar.craigslist.org/tls/4731884012.html I'm wondering if this radial arm saw is at a reasonable price or overpriced. I'm not really familiar with the value of older tools like this.

Neat! There's nothing like a homemade tool when "real" specialty tools cost lots o' money.

These two ratcheting wrenches came home with me yesterday. It's 8 socket sizes in two wrenches. 8mm/10mm and 12/13mm on one, and 18mm/19mm and 14mm/17mm on the other. I know it's not SO or some other truck brand, but it's fine for something I can throw in the motorcycle tool kit. The only...

Wow, I guess we are almost neighbors. Just about the only reason I have to go to Springdale is the HF store. Have you worked with any of the garage or home builders in the area? Ideally I'd like to build a detached garage as that's the easiest and least costly way to get a shop building...

Are you talking about oil and ATF stains on the garage floor?

They would be worth money to somebody. If it comes down to scrap, let me know. I would like to have some old "cordless" tools to learn how to use them.

Today I started repairing damage to the soffit and facia caused by a jackwagon masquerading as a roofer. I should be able to wrap it up tomorrow. At one level, I know I should call him up and make him come out and fix it. But honestly, I don't want him on my property ever again.

I think I could forget about the house and live in the shop. That's beautiful as it sets.

My house is a century old, probably older than that. There are two rooms in the house that are wired with cotton wrapped Al. The rest of the house was rewired with romex, probably in the 1970's, based on the Brady Bunch interior. The Al wiring is fine. If my house being older than yours...

Item 92739 - 1200 grit sandpaper I did a search for it on the website and came up with a different number, 69970. For smoothing multiple layers of a linseed oil finish on a rifle stock, I can't find anything comparable at the home improvement stores.

Maybe I missed something, but how do you get the motorcycles up there? :headscrat

The title says it. I've been talking to a contractor about building a garage/shop on my property. I don't have a great deal of room to work with, unfortunately. It'll be 20x25ft if built. His estimate is about $21/sq ft. No electricity or insulation, just sticks and metal sheeting on a...
