Just wondering if anyone happens to have a set of the extention wings that bolt on to the sides of an older Craftsman table saw. I've attached an image of what I'm looking for.

So I've started cranking out some shift knobs on my lathe, but am having a problem finding good thread inserts to use. Most of the ones I have made are going on T5 transmissions, and the most common thread (it seems) for those is 3/8-16. That's no problem, the local hardware store keeps those...

I'm looking at picking up a wood lathe to start turning some stuff on, just to see if I like it. I'm looking on Craigslist and there seems to be a bunch of older stuff in the $100-$150 range, then a big jump for stuff in the $600-$700 range. Most are just a basic electric motor belt drive to...

Anyone have pictures of table saw stands they have built? I recently inherited my grandfather's Model 80 Craftsman saw and need to build something to hold it. It's on a wooden frame now, but it's only about 1 foot high, and I don't have a large flat surface to sit it on. It will need its own...

I'm not really sure if I want to mount this thing on the wall or build a stand for it. If, however, I did want to mount it, what would be the best way? I'm mounting it on a hollow block wall. The cabinet itself weighs probably 50lb with the doors in it. I did cut out 3 shelves to give me more...

Long shot, but here goes. This router set belonged to my grandfather. He bought it in the late 50s and kept EVERYTHING down to the warranty cards and instruction manuals with it. With his passing, I inherited many of his old tools. Not that I do much woodworking, but I'm going to keep it, along...

Hi GJ! I wanted to swing by and start a log to help keep track of my garage improvement/remodel. The shop itself is the basement of the house above. It's approximately 1,100 square feet and is a walkout basement. The house is built into a grade, so there's really only earth on 1.5 sides of the...

Hi all-just getting started prepping my new basement garage. I'd like to repaint the interior walls. There is white paint on most of it now,but it's a couple different shades of white, and there is a very small area where it's starting to peel off. Is there a particular brand that you've had...

Not now, but will be during their January blowout sale. Save that christmas money!

Hi GJ! I'm starting to plan out my basement shop and have a couple options on air compressors. The place I work at has a large automatic PCB assembly area, all pneumatically powered. Recently, we retired two industrial air compressors we had been using for the past 20 years or so. One is still...

Ok, so I'm moving into my first home (hooray!) next week, and I'm tossing around ideas on what to do with the ceiling in the unfinished basement. I want it to have an old-school feel, but it's going to be a job. There is plumbing (PEX), ductwork, and electrical that's just running all over the...

First off, let me apologize in advance for the long text post. I'm really not even sure if this is the right place to ask for advice on the matter, but this is the best place I can think of. Storytime: I'm 23, graduated from college, and have a steady, good job. I've been renting for the past...

Long time caller, first time listener. Hi all-figured I'd pop in since I'll (hopefully) be needing some ideas for a shop in the near future. I live in Western NC and have been looking at houses for a short while now. This was one of the properties I looked at: Wrestled with this night and...
