So I have an older house that we did a lot of remodeling in. I have two lights in the bathroom, but no fan. I’m going to replace one light with a light/fan combo. This combo also has a Bluetooth speaker so my wife can listen to music while taking a shower. Here is my question, I know very...

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a link to print off a free manual? I have been doing a search and have only come up with ones to buy for about $12, but I've been able to find all my other older Delta manuals for free.

So I went to an estate sale and I found some tools by the manufacturer Forest City. It says Made in the U.S.A. on them. I haven’t been about to find much info on the company. I buffed up a ball peen hammer head and the stamp was rubbed away. I was more careful with the others. Just...

I don’t really want to remove the post, I don’t have the resources for that, but what about utilizing it. I saw Jack Olsen’s 12-Gauge Garage and he has a post in his garage, not sure if his is load bearing or not, but he incorporated it into a work bench. It looks great! That is kind of what...

Recently my sister and her husband moved to Hawaii. He had a few tools in his garage that he had that he couldn't take with him. He tried to sell them but he ran out of time and he gave them to me. He said I could have them or sell them. One of the things he gave me was a Harbor Freight Dust...

I wasn’t sure if this should be a new thread or maybe just a post on the Vises of Garage Journal thread. So first of all this isn’t a what is the best vise brand. It’s a what is your favorite brand. Some people may have some random reasons and sometimes they can be fun and interesting to...

Customizing Harbor Freight breaker bar I just bought some Harbor Freight tools. I know that a lot of people love some of their tools here, but I also know that Harbor Freight will always fight their reputation and stigma of being poor tools. I have seen members remove badges from toolboxes...

Let’s get it out of the way first. I use the Craftsman socket holders (I can already hear grumbling from everyone). I like them, but my OCD wants those holes filled. I need 1/2 inch 6 point 30, 32, and 36 Also 3/8 12 point 20 and 22 If anyone had doubles of those let me know and I’ll work...

So I received a wood burner for Christmas and pulled it out today. I recently polished up a couple of hammers, a Blue Point with a Snap-on handle and a Blackhawk. Here is my attempt at doing some custom handles.

These are the two sets I’m wondering about. I have had Dewalt for a long time and have never had a problem with them. I already have other Dewalt 20v items and won’t change. I currently have this set. It does everything I ask of it and more...

So I’ve been organizing my tools in my toolbox. I have found that when everything has a place, I obviously can see if something is missing. More than that though, I tend to keep my workspace cleaner and more organized as well. This has lead me to purchase some different types of...

Recently I bought a Delta Rockwell bandsaw, the guy I bought it from texted me and let me know he was thinking of selling his lathe as well. I’ve always wanted on and I love learning new skills, so of course I jumped on it. I got it for $75. Looks like it will that a little elbow grease, but...

So I was browsing looking for a tenoning jig or magnetic featherboards and came across this site. Slamoc.com They had the tenoning jig I wanted for $50! Everywhere else on the web was $129. I was pretty excited. Then I saw they had the same table saw I just bought...for $50...

Not sure if this is the right forum or not, but here goes. (Move it if it should be) I've read a lot of different posts on the internet about Lowes accepting Competitors coupon, specifically Harbor Freight. I have a Lowes in my town and one in the next town only 5 miles away. The one closest...

So I did a search and came up blank. I see a very popular thread about modifying the tool cart and thought I'd like to see if anyone did I some cool mods to the work bench? Here is the stock item...

Yikes, 2017 is almost done! I'm sure a lot of you bought your share of tools, new or used, but which is your favorite? My favorite is my new Wilton Vise. I have to admit there is really a difference. I love everything about it and actually go out of my way to use it. I was hoping to buy a...

Not sure if this is a good idea or not. I have seen multiple threads like Show off your new tool arrivals. Show off your hand planes. Show of your (insert pretty much any tool ever made) Does anyone think it may be handy to have a sticky thread with links to the different types. It would be...

So I just got this band saw for my garage. it didn't come with a stand or motor. I have an electric motor I think will work, but I have some questions. How much horsepower is going to be enough? Where can I get a vintage stand for it? I've looked on line just real quick and didn't find...

So I only joined in August, but I seen multiple times where someone has said something along the lines of "That's cool, I'm gonna have to get me one of those,". Here are some of the things I bought just because of this forum. I had a "made in China" vise, since I've joined, I've bought 3...
