    Old Toolbox

    Picked this up yesterday for $30 off of craigslist. He told me its made by Craftsman and he bought it used 20 years ago. I wouldn't think it would hold much value, but if it does, I'd hate to ruin it by painting it. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks Adam

    First Welder

    Picked up a HF welder last week and to say I'm not happy with it is an understatement. I'm pretty new to it, so I'd like to stay with a flux-core welder. I'd like to get something better in the $300 price range. Any recommendations is appreciated. Thanks Adam

    Air Compressor ?

    Just picked up a used air compressor this week and am trying to get it set-up. I know very little about them and was wondering what the fitting was all about? Air comes out of it when I kick the compressor on. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    Vise ID Help

    Hey guys. Was hoping someone could hook me up with a model number on this wilton vice? I'd like to restore it a bit since things are a bit "loose". Its a 5" with 6" opening. Thats all I know about it. This is the only pic I have of it right now and I'll try and get more later. Thanks!

    To Stain or Not?

    Just finished up this wood burning project. It's going to be raffled off at a Fundraiser for a local children's hospital called "Jeeps At The Beach". Now I'm torn whether I should do a light stain on it or just poly it and be done. What do you guys think? Thanks Adam

    Which Compressor?

    I don't know much of anything when it comes to compressors. I have a small 2 gallon in the garage now and absolutely despise it. I want/need something bigger. This will be for light duty work, like just using air to clear off saw dust, filling tires and maybe a lug nut every now and then. I...

    Craigslist Score? How'd I do?

    Cruising Craigslist last night and came across an ad for a Ryobi 18v set. I've never owned anything Ryobi, but they don't seem to bad for the DIY'er. Here's what I got: Drill Jig Saw Circular Saw Palm Sander Light Vacuum Reciprocating Saw 10" Chain Saw (4) Batteries Charger Carrying Bag All...

    Connecting Compressor to Hose Reel

    Picked up a 20" hose and reel yesterday and would like to get it hooked up to my compressor which would only be about 3' away. Only thing is, I have no idea what I need to get it done. Is there a hose out there that will work, or will I need to cob something together? Thanks Adam
