It is easy to rever and admire the past. Particularly the great accomplishments of our previous generations. I know, I tend to cherish my forefathers and what they built... especially if it was durable and lasting. So I ask myself... what can we do to inspire the new generations to create...

Everyone... hope you all are feeling optimistic for this new year of 2014 and the possibilities! I know that I am. Feeling a bit hopeful. Writing down a list of projects and looking at the possibilities. I guess I am not alone there. So... enough with my yaking. What new ideas, concepts...

DISCLAIMER: this is NOT my workshop. lol I recently had the opportunity to tour the battleship Texas while in Houston. It has long been on my bucket list of must-see/must-do's. The battleship Texas (BB35) is a surviving example of American industrialism when this country was not yet a world...

I spotted this ad on craigslist for a Vidmar workbench: http://sacramento.craigslist.org/tls/3327896061.html This thing is sweet! :drool: I can't pop on it, out of my budget this month. But I figured someone on GJ in the NorCal area might be interested. You never know.

So... first let me say that I am NOT a Snap-on collector. The only Snap-On tools I own have been bought at estate/garage sales. So I have no basis for comparison. I responded to a craigslist ad and called a guy with some (actually alot) of tools. Other guys beat me there, but I managed to...

I'm looking for a quality set of twist-drill bits for use in my drill press, which will hold up under casual hobby usage. Main use will be for drilling aluminum stock and the occassional piece of steel. My drill index is getting depleted and needs replacing. (and Santa didn't put any in my...

I need some help from my fellow tool hoarders. I've got a neat 3/8 inch drive NAPA pear-head ratchet that needs a repair kit. Identifying marks are "NB-40". I know that Napa has repair kits for the NB-41 ratchets (NAPA part Number: NHT 11907). I've been researching this thing, I think its an...

I told myself, got chores to do, I've got no business driving by a garage sale today... well... heck. Maybe just for a minute... And found a set of Proto Professional wrenches (big-uns!). The guy had marked them down from $60 to $50 to $40... and today he took $20 bucks for the set. Not a...

Has anyone had a good experience with tool trades with fellow GJ members? I have some "extras" in my vintage tool stash that I wouldn't mind passing along to someone who is looking for that tool brand... tools I've picked up during my sweeps of estate sales. I would rather do a tool swap for...
