Well, she has been wanting a tool cart in the attached garage for "her" tools when she needs something. She hated going to the detached shop to get a screwdriver, wrench, hammer or anything else when she needed one. Picked this up today from my Snappy guy and it is the color she wanted (we...

Not the steal of the century but then again, how often do you find a new, sealed up, never plugged in Baldor 8", 3/4 HP grinder on CL? The guy was asking $400 and accepted $350 for it. The cheapest I've seen them online was around the $900 mark for a 8107W model. It was a fair enough price for...

Saw this one on CL today and couldn't resist buying it for $250. The laptop will stay in the top and the tooling, mics, calipers, etc for the mill will go into the drawers. Every other one I have seen had "rainbow" drawer fronts but the guy ordered this one in black. It is a heavy little beggar...

Guys, a new toy followed me home on Friday but it looks like I will need to get some help getting it off the back of the truck. Once it is on the floor where it needs to be, I will start ordering up some tooling for it. For now I was planning on getting a set of R8 collets (12 by 1/16ths from...

Well, it took a few days for the trucking company to find rural Georgia but the 18 wheeler showed up today and off loaded the new cabinets. The three of them had a 1236 pound shipping weight but once they were off the pallet, they only weighed 362 pounds each.... Welded from 14 gauge plate and...

OK guys, I promised a few of you a build thread and here it is. It will be a long one as I took a LOT of pictures during the build. As most of you know, we had several tornados that came thru the neighborhood last year that cleared most of my trees from the backyard. I will make this several...

The new Challenger came in today and is now up and running although the electrical is a temp service pulled from a welder outlet. A trip to the store for conduit and wire is in order this week to make it look right. Until then, I am really loving this lift. 10,000 pound Challenger CL10V3 with 3"...

For those people with the CT 561 impact version of this tool, if you thought it was not useful as a 3/8" drive, you were not alone. I had heard rumors that a 1/4" version (which makes a lot more sense in a 7.2 volt system) was coming out so I took a chance and bought one from a pawn shop a...

Looking4anImpossibleToFindFord let me know about an auction in Atlanta today and I dropped in on my way back from Augusta to Chattanooga.... Also met GJ member Malaga who was there on a mission to buy a Blackhawk tool board for Bull.....I helped where I could and kept bidding the board...

OK guys, I'm looking at starting my new garage soon (32x48 3 bay) and the builder has come back with a cheaper option to use a monolithic floor slab/footing with 14' stud walls built on top of that (similar to a slab house). I was leaning towards a footing/stem wall or a footing with block and...

I need some advice from the pro tree fallers in this group. I now have a bunch of BIG wood to cut (trees, not mine....) that range from 36 to 42 inches at the ****. I don't want to hear about the Husky/Stihl debate or about any other models except the two I am looking at. I will be buying...

Has everyone here seen this new oil filter study? There was one that hit the net a few years back but I think this is a recent one where the guy spent a lot of time and money doing a good job of the comparisons. Even better, I like the fact that the Mobil 1 filter I use scored pretty high: Oil...

OK guys, it took a while but I know several of the deals that are coming up (or already here). This week was the E Torx socket set shown here: E Torx Socket set This coming week will be the angle wrenches (SAE or Metric) shown here: SAE 4 Way Angle Wrenches Metric 4 Way Angle Wrenches I...

Didn't want you guys to have a slack day without anything to complain about:) I decided to hit a few pawn shops yesterday. Most wanted WAY too much for junk but the last stop had some nice tools so a deal was made on a few that looked mostly new (the only thing with any wear was the pry bars...

Epoxy plus a Polyaspartic topcoat? Given all of the options out there, I have a couple of questions for the flooring guys. I understand that a 100% solids epoxy will make a thicker floor with resistance to dropped objects and the ability to "fill in" minor imperfections. I also know that the...

If anyone is looking at buying a new HW 3 ton jack anytime soon, I thought I would post this: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200325615_200325615?cm_ven=Housefile&cm_cat=nowonsale&cm_pla=buyonline_2&cm_ite=Title&[email protected]&state=GA&hotline=&market=CHA They are on...

Well, I did manage to get the Wilton back together (almost) but I do need to find another set of pins for the back that holds the nut in place. Right now I am using a pair of cut to length clevis pins that are working OK. They give me enough to grab and remove if needed but I plan on getting a...

I keep seeing guys get new vises on here so after seeing this one on the local CL, I had to get in on the act and get a weekend project to work on. It is in fairly good shape and is just dirty from sitting the past 6 years. If I use mjozefow's rule of thumb of $1 per pound, I broke even at $150...

Well, My buddy asked for his vent cap back (mine broke off) and the jack was starting to leak down so a PM was sent to Hiball for a Walker 93632 kit and vent cap. It came in yesterday (thanks Steve...) so I thought this would be a good Saturday morning project. I don't know if you guys would...

Not mine but this 15HP Saylor-Beall would make one hell of a compressor for someone. I just wish i had 3 phase available here. I'm not positive but I think that is an 80 gallon tank and the compressor makes it look small. Saylor-Beall Compressor
