My wife delivered my birthday presents this morning in this Craftsman tool tray. I have never seen one like it and hope one of you can help ID the vintage. I suspect it was in a tool box not a chest. She found it in a vintage shop.

I am close to pouring the slab for my new shop. I plan to use mhf and run it through 1 1/2 inch conduit. When shopping for the schedule 80 I can find the 180 but all the straight is schedule 40. Where am I required to have schedule 80. Do I need it underground or just in the Slab? Can I...

I have a chance this weekend to buy a Mr cool unit and save several hundred dollars. My new shop is under construction and is 1200 sq ft, 2x4 insulated, low e windows and insulated 10x8 doors, 9.5' ceiling. The question is will the 24k be to small and run constantly or is the 34.4 to big and...

I am considering a Mr. Cool mini but dont really want all the line set outside the building. I would prefer to come out of the unit up between the studs to the attic to the back of the building and then out and down to the outside unit. Has anyone done something like that or is the only option...

Does anyone have any experience with the Craftsman Commercial metal bandsaws? I have a chance to pick up a Model# 101.22901 bandsaw for $100. It is in above average condition with sears stand, motor ect. I have a HF one that I have not done any of the mods to. I am/was hoping because of the...

My recent purchase showed up at my door and all I can do is look at it. I pinched a nerve while working on Reed 4C and can't lift or walk any distance. The FedEx guy shows up and I had him put the package on a hand truck I had ready. I was able to get that into the garage where it has sat. I...

New to posting but have been an avid reader. Came to GJ since I am developing a plan for a 34x36 detached shop. Then I got side tracked by Steevo's work bench build and now have 4 roller chests in box's and a custom 14' poplar work bench top and 6' high shelf space. Then I found the equivalent...
