    Anywhere to buy bends?

    Let me start by saying I do NOT want exhaust bends. I know you can buy those everywhere. What I am looking for is someone online who sells bends in mild or DOM steel tubing (similar to what you see for custom exhaust). I do not need to buy a bender as I rarely have the need to use it but I am...

    Drill Press Stall

    What causes drill press stall? I picked up a 12 speed press this past summer for a great deal at a yard sale. I don't recall the brand but it seems to be well built. I did my first larger project with it a couple weeks ago; drilling 1/2" holes in some 1/8" wall steel tube. I got through one...

    I have a used Milwaukee *********** saw that I picked up off of CL a few months back. I also purchased a swag offroad kit for it to use it as a upright band saw.

    Mice in toolbox

    So up until this past summer I had a small C-man top box that I just left on the garage floor tucked back behind my larger box and never used it. I left in the drawer liner and screwdriver foam. So when I brought it out I was not surprised to find that a mouse nest existed. I killed the three...

    My wife and I closed on our new home yesterday. I am thinking some garage paint and flooring work will be done this coming easter weekend. My dilemma is that the garage has 16' ceilings. This is a good thing I know; it leads to plans of Jackmaster garage door openers and two post lifts but...
