I just picked up my first lathe. It's a craftsman 109, (I know, small spindle, poor casting, yada yada yada... but the price was really right.) Anyway, my question is what sort of tools should I be acquiring that will be either necessary or greatly help me out? I'm not talking about cutting...

Lately it seams like I don't get anything done in my garage. It's not like I have ritzy garage or a "man cave", but mostly I spend my time trying to organize and put things away to open up some floor space. Its getting really old and I'm sick of organizing instead of getting things done. Can...

I own and use a number of pneumatic die grinders, both strait and angle, but when I started looking for an electric option (to use when I don't have access to air, or when I'm using them for a long period of time and don't want my hand frozen off) all I found were straight grinders. Is anyone...

I've wanted an engine stand for quite some time, but until now I have had no real need. When 2nd gear wouldn't stay engaged on a friends cb900f, I decided to do something about it. I thought about buying one, but either didn't like the design, quality, or price of anything available. As with...

I had a stretch of time up here in MN that I didn't have heat in the shop (down for repairs). In that time I got quite bored and decided that there was quite a bit I could do in the house. Below is my set up for doing some indoor tool clean up and restorations. Every thing fits on a card table...

I've only recently discovered the joy of pawn shops, and I think I'm hooked. Here's what I picked up this weekend. Didn't find any "you ****" items, but I think I got a pretty decent deal. Spent $34 for everything... -Craftsman 3/8 drive metric set, 6mm-21mm (skip 20mm) with a 3" extension...

I know this is a long shot, but I have one of the S&S tool sets put out by Mac tools a few years ago. (Same tools as the new Foose set with different etching). Anyway, I've lost the 10mm ratchet wrench, somewhere between it's box, my car, and a bone yard. (shoulda grabed the junk, I know :mad...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to put together a small tool kit to give to a buddy so he doesn't have to use his wal-mart tool's anymore. I scrounged the pawn shops today and picked up a nice craftsman socket set for $5. Used is fine as price is a concern. I'm hoping to provide him with some decent...
