I was looking for something else, and found these pics from the medieval Gubbio Italy. I would say there was some talent back then! Interestingly, these ties have been there so long that they have worn into the stone walls about 3/4 - 1 1/2".

I forgot about this old hammer: I've had it since the early 1980's. I got it from an old neighbor in MT. One side has a square Made in USA stamp. The other (bottom of the hammer) there is a "S" on one side of the handle, and a "No.760" and a "4". Can anybody help me identify the manufacturer...

Got these recently: other than an embossed V5 on a cast iron brake mechanism there are no other markings. It is rusty but appears usable. Looks like it should take a 3/8” rope, possibly 1/2. I know how to rig it but I can’t figure out the contraption other than the 2 blocks! Sent from my...

Greetings! I've got a 20+ YO asphalt driveway that was never good from the start. The crew that paved it I swear was drunk or at least hung-over from the night before. The surface has been top-coated quite a few times (both professionally and by me) but gravel is breaking off the surface most...

Greetings! I want to build some moveable tool stands. An old friend and neighbor used to have all of his workbenches and tool stands on wheels. The smaller ones (like for a buffer) would have wheels mounted on the backs of the back legs so you could work it away from the wall and just tip it...

I found a Craigslist ad for a B&D Handyman Drill press for $30. Looks usable and pretty heavy duty, but are they worthy of occupying bench space? Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Greetings! Just purchased an enclosed trailer for hauling my motorcycle - or whatever, is big enough to haul the utility tractor too. What I looked for: 3/4" plywood floor, 16 " tubular steel spacing, inside lighting, torsion suspension, dual axle, 7x14x7'tall, 7K GVW, etc. Everything is...

https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/album.php?albumid=6564 Greetings! I'm still in the process of finishing up my shop - just got the workbench built: 10'long x 36" deep and about 36" tall. All reclaimed lumber except the OSB for shelves. Top is 2x12, legs 2x6. I'm guessing weight to be roughly...

I'm not into collecting specific tools or specific tool manufacturers, but I am collecting things that I'm sure would have been in my grandpa's box back in the '30's. Here are a couple pics - I've got stuff scattered out from heck-to-breakfast since construction of my new shop started, but this...

https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=401609 I posted this in my shop build thread, but have yet to get any ideas - the builder screwed up the threshold for my sliding front doors. This left a gap of about 1.5" between the doors and the garage floor lip, as well as significant...

Trying to do this on my phone.... pic wouldn’t load.... Here’s a side pic - the building is good sized: new part is 50’w X 40’ deep with a 14’ eve. There was an old machine shed 24’W X 16’ deep I foolishly decided to attach to the back of the building. In hindsight, should have demo’d The whole...

Bob here, new guy today! Anyway, I have looked at this forum quite a few times in the last few years but now I have a reason to join: My new shop is built, but not finished. I'm not as dedicated shop-hound as most on this site. I travel most of the west: MT, ID, WA, OR, UT, AZ, and CA. In my...
