I have a finishing question. Have a cedar board my mother wrote on in chalk to my son. I'd like to preserve the chalk writing. What's a good way to do this without risking rinsing/wiping the chalk off?

This is for a thing for my kid, so cheap and replacable, not high end or custom machining... Looking for something like a clevis hardware, but with a threaded rod at the bottom of the U shape. Essentially looking to make some train signals with flag/semaphores up top and handles down low in a...

So i put the same wrench on the table of each and took a pic.

I kind of want to reclaim space and while the footprint is small i have a hard time justifying two. The pm 1150a is from 1993 but suffered some neglect and a fire. The rockwell 15-665 is from 1973 and was unprofessionally refinished by me. Deltas in features include: Pm is reeves drives...

Decided to make a new thread on this one cause its a cool story. I had a Delta 14" W/M saw.. it's good, but temperamental and everytime I got it dialed in, a week later it was cutting crookeder than a Brit's teeth. So I found the Judge.. my 1906 32" Crescent bandsaw. Nearly a dream come...

Part of a larger lot I got, it's obviously a wounded veteran, but whoever fixed it did it pretty sloppy and half ground all markings off. I can't make it out, but believe the one side is CHICAGO.. any ideas. Thing is about 80-90 lbs I'd guess. 20171003_210131404_iOS by Chris Lehr, on...

Hey all, long time no post. When I posted on here, I was collecting old hand tools. It was interesting and fun, but they weren't really used much, and after 6 years in this house, its time to move and a garage is sadly not in the mix. I'll still own mine, but it will be rented. So anyhow -...

Would do again. http://imgur.com/a/44Llh Compared to dual CFLs on either bay, these 5k lights make a world of difference out there. 2x2x .25"

OK, so my garage is very multipurpose and I have and use an air compressor regular for: - filling tires - some power tools (C10 project truck) - dusting/cleaning - nailer/staplers NO body work type stuff. I am in TX (hot) and thinking about putting the compressor in the attic (hotter) Im...

I know how to do this, but a friend told me moving them from default height would put me out of code. Not planning on selling anytime soon, but figured I would ask - would you leave the lower outlet and just extend the outlet to above a workbench height, or plan on removing and filling the...

Hey all - I don't have one, but have always loved the 68 Mustang blue on white colors, so I wanted to do my garage in Wimbeldon White with Acapulco Blue highlights and trim. I've called around a few places and nobody can "just punch a color code in" I have it in RGB, Hex, Sherwin Williams, and...

Life gets in the way, as always. Actually - just other projects around the property... But for the first time in 1.5 years, I have a workspace area in the garage cleared out again!! Took 6 hours and a LOT of tool putting away, and filled the garbage cans, but I can work out there, I think...

New to me - I saw this on reddit earlier today. I have to admit it looks like an awesome advance in saw horse technology. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-centipede-sawhorse-work-support-system I have NOTHING to do with this crowd sourced project, just figured you guys were an...

Coop, the renowned artist and pinstriper is apparently a big Plomb guy as well. http://positiveapeindex.wordpress.com/2009/10/05/greatest-hits-plomb-crazy/ Nice collection and box for sure!

I keep seeing those plastic one man handles at HD - are they worth a ****, or will they marr up thinner boards or sheetrock? Anyone wasted the 5-10$ (didnt look at the price, to be fair)
