I'm sure we all have some old drills that we dont use and wouldn't be worth trying to sell.. I do. I got to looking for ideas to repurpose the drill chucks. Came across this video. Both great ideas. Especially the vise, that one's brilliant. You guys have any cool ideas for repurposing chucks...

Maybe its been posted here before, idk. But thought this was a fun video from Fireball Tool on Youtube.

I've wanted a metal lathe for years, decided its well passed time to make it happen. Hoping some of you guys here may know a little bit more than me and help me with making a decision. What I'm looking for... High quality & USA made or some place that isn't going to destroy the heirloom value...

I'm getting ready to build a tiny home or "she shack" for my Mother in Law in the backyard. I have a spot I'd like to build it, but I know very little about what may or may not need to be taken into account in regards to plumbing before choosing where to build. We have an existing septic system...

I picked this kit up for $5 at a garage sale. Not entirely sure what it is. Figured one of you fine people might know.

I'm changing careers(after 12 years :oops:) and getting myself into an apprenticeship. I'm trying to figure out the most efficient set up as far as which tools and how to carry them. I know some guys have no problem wearing the entirety of home depots tool section on suspenders all day lol...

Hey guys, I got lucky, picked up an old Craftsman 150 drill press over the weekend. Has the Hi-Lo pulley in it as well. I'm trying to get together as much documentation on it as possible. Would love to find a complete manual for it, only found like the 1 page showing the speeds, and as well as a...

I'm putting together a mini portable soldering kit based off of the Pinecil soldering iron. Going to make a case from wood and will be routing a place for each piece in the kit. I'm wanting to include a butane torch lighter for heat shrink... However, I dont know who makes a good one outside of...

I'm currently replacing the subfloor in my kitchen the current one was rotted due to the previous owners dishwasher leaking. I've gotten a good section of the subfloor tore out along an exterior wall. I noticed the floor joists all seem to be no where near the same lengths, many are 2 to 2.5"...

I got this Johnson 7" speed square.. or "Johnny Square" a while back. Opted for it over the Swanson for the scribing notches. And over other options for the cast graduations rather than the laser etched that will likely become unreadable and seem to be the new cool thing. Anyways, I did not...

I'm looking for a GOOD digital angle finder for miters. I have one of the digital angle finder cubes, a Klein. But I need one that will check horizontal angles, which the cube cannot do. Anyways, looking around on amazon, doesnt seem any of them stick out. I'm looking for a protractor style...

I'm replacing the tile in my kitchen. Found an area of the sub floor near the sink that is rotted & weak due to a leak at some point. It needs to be replaced. Its roughly a 2ft by 6ft area that needs replaced. The area runs directly in front of the counter, but perpendicular to how the original...

Am I the only one that loves Hitachi/Metabo tools? Hardly ever see anyone mention them here. Their tools are priced significantly better than the competition, their warranties are significantly better than the competition, and they make genuinely great tools. Been rocking a Hitachi Miter saw...

Wasnt sure what section to post this under, prob would have fit a few different ones.. Anyways, I'm finally getting around to fixing up my old abused Craftsman tool chest I picked up on the cheap a long while back. And I'm wanting to remove the handles & other hardware, wire brush them clean...

This drill press was posted a little bit ago. Dude's only asking $50 for it. Looks to be in great shape to be a 1988 model. And it's made in Taiwan. Never heard of it myself. Wondering if I should take a chance on it or wait for something better.

Went and picked up a vintage Craftsman Scrollsaw today. While I was there, the gentleman told me he had a lathe I may be interested in as well. Didnt get to see it as its currently under quite a bit of stuff. But he told me he had a bunch of attachments & said he just needs it out of the way...

Found this cool old Craftsman saw on facebook. Says its a Jig saw on the saw itself, but, I mean.. Thats a scroll saw, right? lol They were asking $20. I'm picking it up tomorrow. They say it works, they just dont have a blade and dont know much about it. So guess I get to be surprised as well...

Thought I'd take a sec to clue you guys into an awesome notebook I've been using for a while now. They're getting kind of hard to find though, so go buy some and light a fire under their *** to get more made available lol. Anyways, each page has a grid on one side and journal style lines on...

So, I just lucked out. Was the first to message about this awesome index card style/ microfilm cabinet on Facebook a gentleman decided to give away for free. Awesome heavy duty old cabinet. I'm just trying to figure out how to best utilize the storage. I'm definitely going to insert flat bottoms...

Before you suggest wiping everything down with WD40, I know, I do, and it works great. But you cant coat everything in WD40, it would be a full time job. Anyways, I seem to have a serious moisture problem in my garage. Things seem to rust at an incredibly fast rate, by things, I mean like the...
