    Suggestions for my welding cart project in progress

    I'll start by saying I'm not a welder by trade, and I'm a terrible welder as a hobbyist. I have only had my welder a few months. I'm making a cart from mostly junk that I had, or got at the scrapyard. The frame is from an old minibike, and I'd like to know if you have suggestions or comments...

    Crown Top Woodworkers Wall Cabinet

    I have been looking for a couple of these for a while now (mechanics and woodworkers). I got it Sunday, and it is now looking nice and matches my other CM red and gray cabinets, etc. I was in good shape, so I just sanded some, and got down to bare metal where there was rust.

    This is my 3rd Craftsman roller. I was happy to find one that would be pretty easy to restore, since my second one has been painted with appliance paint, and won't be easy. I finished the two drawer chest that will go on top of this cabinet, at least until I find another 10 drawer. I sanded...

    Craftsman Arc Welder 113.1923

    I got this Craftsman welder today, and it is a beauty! Well, not really. It's pretty dang ugly, but pretty cool I think. I weighs a lot is about all I know about it, other than it's missing the leads, and plug. The gentleman I got it from told me that it belonged to his father. I plan to...
