I saw a post where someone mentioned taking a water heater tank and building an air compressor with a Harbor Freight Pump and 5hp motor. Now, I’m not interested in using a water heater tank but if you had the ability to get a genuine air compressor tank at a low cost, Would you outfit it the...

Millermatic 211 with Autoset (transformer powered model) OR new Esab Rebel 215ic EMP Welder I realize this question is subject to lots of varying opinions but I am curious to hear the esteemed opinions from the GJ congregation. I am looking to purchase my first welder and cannot decide...

I am curious, how should a bench grinder be positioned in my shop. Currently my grinder sits, unplugged, on a shelf in my garage and I pull it out when I need to use it. Normally I just carry it to a small shelf I put in my garage door opening. While this works, it not the most convenient...

So, the week before thanksgiving we had a storm blow thru that, prior to the rain event (3-4 inches), brought some swift winds. This was what woke us up at 2am Being the "glass is half full" guy I am. I couldn't help but think about amount of quality firewood available next year. The...

Hey folks found this old anvil at my wife's grandmothers farm over thanksgiving. It has been pounded on pretty good over the years and the markings are worn in many areas. Can any of the GJ experts tell me maker. Her are a few pics Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Morning, so I came across this old transit a little while back and want to know if any of the GJ experts could provide any info on it. I do not know much about transits, but this one looked old so I snatched it up. It is a Dietzgen 25755. Any info is great appreciated. EDIT: Any thoughts on...

So, Today is my birthday and my beautiful bride picked me up a new toolbox because I am in serious need of a more tool storage (No BS). Any who she meets me for lunch and shows it to me sitting in the back of her Minivan. Question is: any tips for unloading by myself? It is laying down...

Brought my wife's grandfathers stick welder home this weekend. He passed away about 15 years ago and it has been sitting unused in his warehouse since. I am in the process of learning how to weld (mig) but thought it would be cool to make use of his stick welder since it can be had for free...

So I managed to scrounge up this Heavy Duty (Emphasis on the Heavy) Work Table made by Stronghold Products. It was used for years in a lab type situation and, as you can see, the top has seen a lot of use. In the middle you can see where the lab equipment sat but the edges are very worn...

OK. I know we see these all the time on GJ but I want to pose the question again. I found this Rock Island 574 on a auction site and it looks to be in decent condition. Is this your standard $0.50 per pound vise or is it worth a little more than that? I want this vise because my...

Here is my scenario: I have sort of kind of gotten a little vise addiction. In the past few months I've acquired a total of 7 vises from various job sites ( no theft, legit acquisitions). They are all different and awesome in their own way and I am fighting the tendency to horde them all. While...

Question: I am cleaning up a Wilton 450 that I pulled from an old foundry. The anvil is in pretty decent shape but I want to sand it down smooth again. I took a grinder to smooth it out but I need something a little more refined to give it that final, clean, look that I am going for. I am new...

I saw this Craftsman 508-51811 vise sitting in an old lab and thought I would ask the GJ experts about it. I haven't had a lot of luck finding info on the Internet about it.
