I picked up this Stanley No. 400 Miter Vise (USA) a couple of weeks ago. Years back I used to use one like this for building custom picture frames for a local shop. I'm undecided if I should try and restore it or just use it as is. Thoughts? Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

There's a local ad up that has a set of "CRAFTSMAN VINTAGE V SERIES 76 PC. SOCKET SET" for sale. The person is firm on a price of $115 CDN. Is this a good buy? I'll post a picture in a second.

So evidently the individual who built my house isn't fit to build a dog house. I've been in there now for 7 years (I'm not the original owner) and the issues that I've found are ridiculous. Anyways, on to the current issue. The side door in my garage is leaking at the bottom two corners...

So I was changing over to the winter tires on my two vehicles this evening, and the floor jack that I've been using for years (which was actually my dads) decided to finally call it quits. I need a new floor jack. Any recommendations on a good one? The heaviest I'd need to lift with it would...

My Father gave me an old Spokeshave that he's had for a nice while. It's rusted pretty bad and I'm in the process of restoring it. I disassembled it and put it in a bath of Simple Green to get rid of all oil and residue, I gave it a cleaning with a stiff bristle brush after the simple green...

I've decided to try and clean the rust off of some old tools that I have. I just put them in a simple green bath to degrease them. How long should I keep them in there? The next step will be to soak them in a molasses solution. I'm using regular kitchen molasses that I bought at Walmart. I've...

So this was given to me today and I can't find a company stamp or any markings on it. What is it? Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

So I've haven't been on here very long and haven't posted much but I need some info on something I bought today. I answered a kijiji ad in my area where someone was selling their Fathers tools since he passed away a few months ago. I go there and immediately this little red tool box catches my...

So I'm looking through my local classifieds and I come across this ad for a drill press that needs a chuck and a bit of cleaning up. The owner says it works great and wants $25 for it. What do you guys think? Would it make a nice little project? Do you think it's worth fixing up?

Good morning folks. My garage floor has seen better days. It's not beat up or anything it's just got stains and discoloration in a few places and I'd like to either paint or epoxy it since it's never been done since the house was built. Would you recommend paint or epoxy? First maybe I...

This is my first post so I'll make it short. I'm writing from Paradise, Newfoundland, Canada where I have a 14'x27' (approx) garage that is a pure and utter mess. I'm in the process of getting everything straightened away now so that I can start a few projects in the near future. I'll post...
