Good afternoon all, After a long time scouring Craigslist I finally found a great vintage Craftsman drill press. It is in great running condition and is so quiet and just what I had hoped it would be. Now, it's not perfect! It has some missing pieces I would like to find. It's missing the...

Good afternoon all, Quick question. I am trying to route a lip into the ID and OD of a wood cylinder. I created two jigs, one for ID and one for OD. Here is a pic of the OD jig: Problem with this is as it rides around it just continually eats the wood away until I break the other side...

Good morning all, I tried searching for a while and cannot seem to find an answer about holding strength on "DZUS" style fittings. I am working on a project that will basically encompasses taking a cylinder, cutting it in half, milling off some ID of one and OD of the other to create a slip...

Good morning all, I haven't posted in a while because all I have been doing is working and being a dad (not complaing!) lol..... Either way, I finally have time to tackle a project I have been wanting to do for a while now and need some wood working advice. I want to create a adjustable...

Good morning all, I am trying to put together a cool Christmas gift for my uncle who has a small passion for restoring old Honda CT70's. I want to make him a clock for his garage out of CT70 parts. What I was hoping to find was a frame and a stator/clutch cover (not just the disc, but the...

Good morning. I have what some of you will consider a very simple machining project I would like to farm out to someone. I am in the process of building a custom drum set and while I have a handle on the shells and have already completed 3 drums I would like to create my own drum lugs. I made...

I usually don't have much to provide in the way of cool tools or great garage sale finds. That being said my shop is going to MSC vending systems and our GM is getting rid of the few grey cabinets hanging out ok the floor. I was lucky enough to be in a meeting when management was going through...

Sold.....

I don't play out much anymore and when I did a few weeks ago I realized I don't really have a need for a bunch of double braced hardware and what not as most of the gigs I play now are small venue type stuff. I am also in the process of scaling down my Pearl Masters kit and getting rid of the...

I built this welding table last summer. It was the second iteration with the top which is 2 years old. It has a 3/8" steel top that is 36"x30" and it does has some surface rust from lack of use (which is why I'm selling it). The casters are 4" swivel rubber over cast with greaseable zerks. The...

Good morning all, I did some searching without much luck (both Google and here).... My neighbor gave me a 9" 113.242721 Craftsman table saw. He had it for years and the switch stopped working so he quit using it and eventually bought a new one. Now I have it. I don't do a lot of wood...

There is a cool consignment shop by my place that specializes in "man stuff". Right now they have an older Craftsman torch set with two regulators and the torch itself. No hoses. Does anyone have experience with this kit? Is there anything I should look for to gauge quality or condition...

I have a nice American Standard whirlpool tub that we have removed due to remodeling our master bath. Its in great shape and was hardly used by my wife and I during its years. It requires a 110v 20A service. Its taking up room in my garage and I need it gone by Wednesday afternoon or the...

I know most people on here want to hate on Craftsman and yes they aren't what they used to be, but that being said I couldn't say no to a clearances top box online. It's a ball bearing Griplatch that is a perfect match to my bottom box and it only cost $98. I talked the guy at Sears into free...

For those of you who are married, work full time and have little ones you will probably understand where I am coming from with this post so bear with me.... I technically have tomorrow off (11/15) and it was unexpected so I don't have any plans. I have to come into work from like 6-8am then...

I apologize if this isn't supposed to be on GJ but I hang here a lot and don't really have anything to show for it so I thought I would share our master bath remodel. If you were to come to my house you would probably think there is nothing to complain about. It's a beautiful house and we are...

We bought these for our bathroom remodel about a year ago before we really had any idea what we were doing. We have decided to go with brushed stainless on everything instead of chrome so these can go on to the next guy/gal! They are both new in packaging; never opened and literally sat in the...

Good morning all! Over the weekend I finished up my weld cart and finally got to try out my Milwaukee hole saw kit. I purchased it a couple years ago with an HD gift card but never used it. That being said I used the 1" on some 2x2 1/8th mild steel tube in my drill press. The starter bit cut...

I won't write much because I am in my phone but here is my weld cart for my Millermatic 180. My first version was more artistic then useful. It was hard to roll and hard to maneuver. But it looked kind of cool. (sorry no pics...) Then in the repurposing thread I put up my version 2.0 because...
