    Chimney repair question

    This weekend I noticed my chimney cap has come loose. It's a cedar sided chimney so reattachment should be simple enough. I guess my question is, how do I SAFELY access it? Anyone here with suggestions? Any previous experience?

    I'm 48 years old and for the first time in my life I broke a tool using it the proper way. Split a socket right down the side. It was a Kobalt.

    Carport question

    I have a 16X20 shop. After putting all my "stuff" in it there is just enough room to get a car halfway in to work on. The Mrs. and I have been mulling over our options and we both agree that a covered area (think carport over flatwork) adjacent to shop is the way to go both financially and...

    school me on oxy-acetylene rigs

    My son and I are both interested in purchasing soon. This will definitely be a "not every day" use rig. I also feel confident that I don't want the small bottles. I assume I can rent the large ones? What should I be looking at. Middle of the road. Go.

    New Toolbox Find

    I currently work 57 miles from my home. 114 miles round-trip each day. The good news is my work is only a few miles from a Sears outlet store. I stop in there on occasion to see what they might have, usually not much I'm interested in. Recently I did pick up a set of craftsman professional...

    A tool question

    I'm a weekend warrior from a mechanic point of view. I keep my families 3 older-high mileage vehicles rolling with mostly Craftsman tools and generally get done what I need. Today I ran into a dilemma and thought I might pick the brains of the garage journal guys as ya'll always seem to have...

    Paint sprayer question

    OK, bought this sprayer yesterday http://www.lowes.com/pd_301337-47120-SGY-AIR86_0__ . Now , I'll be the first to admit I have a limited knowledge of paint sprayers. I am using it to stain my shop and it is working great except one problem. There seems to be quite a bit of sediment in the stain...

    Cleaning rust off old tools

    Hello, I have been looking for posts on cleaning rust off of hand tools, especially pliers. Any good suggestions that fall to the cheaper end of the money scale? How about general maintenance of your tools? Anything in particular you do? Looking for suggestions or ideas.:confused:

    Found Grandpa's old tools

    I ran across some old tools today that belonged to my grandfather. If anyone could help me identify them and let me know a little about the maker I would appreciate it. Some I've heard of some not. All American made.:thumbup:

    The Craftsman debacle

    This post is not intended to stir up a pro/anti Craftsman debate. I have been reading old posts all afternoon (too dang hot to be outside) and I am really curious about something and i'm sure that this is the right place to get the answer. If my desire was to buy American made only, what tool...

    Hello from north central Texas

    Just wanted to say hello! Just discovered this forum a couple of weeks ago. My kind of discussions. I'm in the building trades as a profession but I'm a believer in driving cars till you can't get nothing else from them. Spend my weekends keeping a '93 F-150, a '96 Suburban and an '06 Sequoia in...
