*SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THE NEWLY ADDED M0317 SWIVELING MINI VISE STANDS!* I've been making these tiny, 13/16" Mini Vises for about a month now with a really great response. I was encouraged to post them here in the classified section for those of you who may not have seen them elsewhere. The No...

I just launched a brand new product that I wanted to share with you all here - I think many of you will find it useful. They are Fixture Table Plugs! Currently I am offering them in 5/8" Strong Hand and 16mm Siegmund, but more sizes and brands will be coming soon. I actually conceived the...

Not quite four years ago, while visiting a neighboring town of Spearfish, SD, my wife informed me of a small machine shop she had seen just off of the main drag downtown and suggested we drive by. Of course I was interested in seeing it, but I never guessed I'd see what lie behind the block...

Welcome to Made By Miller Studios, my 14'x24' detached garage turned workshop (established October of 2018) as well as my home office design space. This is the home of my company, Made By Miller (@madebymiller_ on Instagram). It started off extremely basic and bare bones, and it's steadily...

My in-laws were very kind to buy me this seemingly quite early G.M. Yost No. 92B while out antiquing. It's not in my hands yet, and being curious I went on here to see what I could find out about it and perhaps narrow down a manufacturing time period. I'm also curious about the relationship of...

I recently picked up a Rockwell 31-710 6x48" belt/disc sander. The specs for the motor on it are: -3 phase -230/460 input voltage -1.5 hp -5.4/2.7 amps -3450 rpm I don't have 3 phase power, so I'm looking to convert this to run off of single phase 220v power with a vfd. I have tried doing my...

There is a 6" Morgan Chicago model 360 vise for sale locally to me for $300. The 360 model has the swiveling rear jaw and swivel base. I would have bought it immediately, but the price is a little steep, I'm currently trying to negotiate with the seller. This vise is seemingly rare, I can...

I'm brainstorming a 14'x26' addition for my garage/carport/shop. In the drawing, the addition is the rear section with the taller roof line. I thought this would be as simple as buying trusses with the same pitch and heel height as my existing ones, but it seems it isn't that straightforward...

I run my welding and fabrication business from my single car detached garage. I'm out of space and am needing to do something quickly to increase my square footage. This would ideally be solved by building a nice big shop, but that unfortunately is not in the budget and this project must be...

I picked up this Park brand machinist box at an estate sale the other day, not knowing the brand name, but it was heavy and the price was right so I brought it home. I tried searching for some history of the brand, and I've come up with nothing. I can't even find another picture of the box I...

My shop is a small single car detached garage. I run my welding and fabrication business from it, and I spend every day welding and grinding inside. I wear a respirator at all times, but I would like a way of extracting the fumes still. When it's nice I always have the doors open to ventilate...

Hello everyone! I wanted to get some advice on building a lean-to for my air compressor off of the back of my shop. I'll attach a picture of my compressor. I live in South Dakota, so it obviously gets very cold. The compressor will be used year round, nearly every day. I've seen some builds...

I've tried looking up if anyone had tried this before, but I can't find any examples. Has anyone ever tried taking a standard vertical file cabinet and turned it horizontally? I'm thinking of mounting it up on the wall, and the drawers would open with the slides on the top and bottom of the...
