    The Tool Shed - Waltham MA

    Was visiting family in Salem, MA and wanted to check around for some places with used tools. Flea markets are not as common up there as in the South and antique stores vary on their pricing. Quick search of Google showed a couple options. One was just on the other side of Boston, and the...

    Beginner wood lathe recommendation

    Hey everyone, currently my fiancé and I are getting into wood turning. We have previously done some custom knife handles, furniture builds, and small projects. Turning pens and rings were something we had looked into, but the cost of a lathe and garage space prevented that. The local Rockler...

    Metric Ignition Wrench Set Options

    Couldn't find much discussion about slim ignition wrenches that weren't vintage. I wouldn't mind a set of those, but I don't have time to hunt at the moment. Background: I have a new cheap 3D printer that I am using to make small tools and repair/replace broken plastic in things I am...

    Some interesting finds and new friend from a CL posting

    Earlier this week while surfing Craigslist, I stumbled onto an ad for an Athol vise. There was only 1 picture and the phone number listed couldn't be texted. It looked interesting so I called the number and an elderly woman answered seemingly confused about the Athol tool. I mentioned a post...

    DIY tubing and hose splitter/slicer

    This was a tool shown in a tool tip on Stacy David's show. I liked it, but there weren't many details about making it in the video. So I made a quick instruction for it on the Instructables site. I thought it could also be useful for others here since I have needed it to make custom edge...
