I bought this a few years ago, it came full of tools which is what I was after. Never really use this, and it's taking up shop space. Listed locally for $350, but I know someone on here would appreciate it properly, so discount applied. If it doesn't sell it will move into basement, it won't be...

Well, my quest drill press is found, and resting in my shop. I've had a Buffalo 15 for a couple years now. Works great, and have since installed a 2 speed (single phase) motor for easy switching, between pulleys & motors speeds it has 10 speeds I believe. Recently picked up a Canadian Blower &...

This is a project I was asked to build for a girl I work with. She helped the wife and I when our 3rd boy arrived with some freebies that were rather valuable. I told her if she wanted any work done just name it. she paid for materials, labour and all else was on me. Her request started with a...

Canadian Blower & Forge DP15 Picked this one up for a song recently, and am rather happy with it after getting it loaded (thanks Nathan) and brought home. Purchased from local area high school which is amalgamating with another, so a bunch of machines are redundant now. Original paint is in...

I purchased this jointer almost a year ago, expecting to refurbish it eventually. Finished the jointer itself a few months ago, then put it on a modern stand with a newer motor... which just didn't look right. So using a stand from the same manufacturers radial arm saw I had, I mounted the...

This is a simple refurb, take it apart, blast it, paint and polish it and put it back together. Depending what the bearings are like, I will replace those aswell. Not much to this little guy, pics may be deceiving but this is only a 11" x 14" table, and is generally run of a 1/4-1/2hp motor...

been in this house for over a year now, and while I enjoy having the 26x34' shop, I have noticed a few things; 1. slab is wet in summer, so assuming no vapour barrier 2. slab is cold (unless dead of summer heat), so assuming it's not insulated 3. grading allows water in (spring I had 2+" of...

First time experiencing this time of year in our new house. We knew the basement had issues which I fixed last fall with great success. However, I got home to the picture below yesterday, and also a good sized pool between the house and garage. The standing water is all surface as the ground is...

I would like to hang an electric heater above my wifes car in the garage. I want it to be controlled via remote or in-line plug in timer. I have a MrHeater propane 50k btu unit, and a wood stove... but with a 24x36 garage I don't want to run those (nor am I always around to do so) just to warm...

I am talking to the owner of this chest, I didn't get a name/make, but he says he's had it for a while. Bunch of 30yr old Cman sockets, Gray wrenches, and other quality tools comes with it. I am picking it up Monday, along with other tools, but curious what type of chest it is. Any ideas from...

I just grabbed a used 2 speed motor I want to use it on my Buffalo 15 upright DP, should help slow it down for use when drilling metal. Pic of wiring attached below, but my question is what kind of AC switch can I use for this application? DC I'd use a SPDT, but for this I have no idea. Yes I...

After more than a month without a stove, we got our new propane unit fitted today. Previous owner had normal electric, 220v 4wire I would like to use the existing range wiring for ONLY 110v to plug the new stove in. Is that possible? Can I get a simple walk-thru if so? I'm confident doing the...

I started a thread when I found an older welder, figured I'd start one for all the random tools and such I collect from family, friends, and kijiji (our version of craiglist). I'm moving from a suburban (barely) 1 car garage, to a 2 bay, double deep shop in just over a month. Having mooched off...

Been using friends &/or works welders for years. Work (used to be military) was industrial Miller machine, infinite adjustability, overkill for the bumpers, rocker gaurds, etc I used to make for my Jeep, but amazing to use, learn on. Buddies have had Lincoln 180's and 175's from big box...
