I am looking to procure another small part bin that was once manufactured by husky. It seems as if Home Depot is not currently offering this item for sale, does anyone have any info on this? Does anyone have one they would be willing to sell...

I'm cutting EVA foam with a compass style circle cutter but the foam is too thick to cut through, and the tool doesn't accept bigger blades. In order to get all the way through I have to flip the workpiece over and cut from the backside too, of course this looks pretty sloppy. Any ideas? Cheap...

There are about five small dents dispersed around the body of my car. With no knowledge of bodywork, I began searching for less involved & inexpensive repair methods. It may be important to note that of the two dents on the roof, the lateral most does not permit access from underneath. The dent...

What steel would you guys recommend to someone who wants to build a knife? I don't want to spend TOO much money but I am also looking to make something that will last as long as I take care of it. I am also looking for something that has some rust resistance. What do you guys think??

My boss & his wife have a jet 1221 variable speed (12" x21") wood lathe that they are selling. He wants $500-550 for it and said it comes with the tools and a few other odds and ends. I found another lathe, a jet 1236 which is also a variable speed, but 1236 (12 x 36"). The guy sounds...

I found some green birch being discarded so I helped myself to it. One of the things I randomly decided to make was a kuksa, a traditional drinking vessel originally crafted by the Sami people. I made no effort to study pictures, refer to drawings with sizing or watch any how to videos to aide...

I cleared out a closet completely that I intend to use for storing camping gear. Now that I have all of this space I am wondering what my best option for utilizing all of it would be. I am hoping to keep the project somewhat inexpensive but I want something somewhat professional looking...

I build my first firewood rack this winter and I am in the process of building another. Post a picture of YOUR firewood rack or shed!

Not too familiar with the law about backyard/campfires in Connecticut and I have a dilemma. The portion of the yard that I intend to could be described as deciduous forrest. I often pitch a tent or hang a hammoc there but fires are kept to the grassy areas of the yard. Anybody know if a campfire...

I found some old wrenches that were my grandfathers and I was thinking of using one or two to make a knife. I have only blanked, never forged and I don't really have enough interest/money for an anvil. I have seen guys use a log with an old axe head slammed in it or a small section of railroad...

Skip to paragraph two for the main portion (feeling long winded today) Thanks to garage journal I am now the owner of several new to me tools, re-hashed some old hobbies and even found some new ones. Today I decided that the knife my girlfriend got me for valentines day (how awesome is that?)...

Hey guys, I am interested in attempting to craft an authentic looking set of snow shoes. This requires me to steam bend the main portion of the wooden frame, which in turn requires a steam box. I would like to minimize the time spent building a steam box so I could focus on the actual...

-I am looking to make or buy an adapter that will allow me to refill 4-8 oz fuel canister from either a 1LB-20 propane tank or a butane can. -There are a few types out there, the butane adapters I don't care for as they don't thread onto the cans. The others just seem kind of expensive...

I have a ton of snow shovels, brooms, random yard tools on top of other things in the garage that I want to get off the floor and hang on the wall. Without getting into detail, some compromising has been made and I have a few guidelines I need to follow. The system I was hoping to use is the...

After watching some videos on youtube I am ready to try making my own knife or machete but I have a few questions. 1) Everyone who I have seen that doesn't use propane uses WOOD charcoal. A lot of the guys use this: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/products/real-hardwood-charcoal why is this...

I am currently in my second year of radiologic sciences, while researching pneumoconiosis I came across some interesting information. We all know that most inorganic inhalants are harmful to our lungs. What I did not know was that allegedly some of these compounds are found in old tools. I can't...

Recently I bought a grinder from a fellow who seemed pretty industrious. We got to talking and he mentioned the New England School of Metalworking has bladesmithing courses. I looked it up and it turns out the place is in Maine, 15 minutes where i'll be camping for 3 nights this December. Now...
