I've got a hand-me-down drill press from my father-in-law. It's an ok piece, nothing fancy and certainly suitable for the general stuff I'll do with it. It's appears to be a somewhat generic Taiwanese piece. Labeled "Guardian Power BDM-58-5SP". I've got a cross slide vise that I've used on...

I'd like to do a better job of keeping the tires properly inflated. I've got all kinds of stuff to do it, but anytime you have to drag out gear... stuff doesn't get done... That and where the cars get parked isn't close enough to drag a hose to them directly. I do, however, have an...

I'm debating the purchase of a new stool for the shop at home. I'm debating whether to get one with or without casters. That and with or without a seatback and a foot ring. I've had a beast of a stool for years and it's damned uncomfortable. But it's been a great stand-in for all kinds of...

I've got a new shop space and am wondering how to best outfit it for storage. I've been using wire shelving for ages. That along with various kinds of plastic storage containers has worked wonder to allow me to 'save' far too many things. My goal here is to avoid bringing anything back into...

What's the best kind of caster to use under a set of heavy, metal flat-file drawers? I've got three sets of the drawers stacked up. They're 24x48 units. They're around 100lbs per unit, empty. I plan on using them in the shop for various tools and such, not for their original purpose of art...

We're building a new house and I've got a new workshop space in the basement. Plans call for putting down VCT. But I've no idea which kind. It's currently just bare poured concrete. My question is what would be the ideal flooring to put down? I don't want just bare concrete. This is a...

I've got an older craftsman roll-around cabinet with a 5-drawer on top of it. They're both red with red faced drawers and silver pull handles. The drawers have ball bearing slides. I'd like to get an intermediate chest to fit in-between them. Trouble is they seem to have discontinued this...
