Vidmar 6 drawer Box w/vice- $25/drawer OBO!! Nice vidmar box. Has been disassembled, refinished and is rust free. These pictures are from when it was freshly refinished...I'll try to get some current pictures up here. It includes a butcher block top now and a custom powder coated vice! Drawers...

I am moving across the country...and am attempting to do it with only what I can fit in my jeep and my small trailer. As a result, I am considering getting rid of my tool box and getting something later down the road. I refurbished this tool box a couple years ago, and am not really sure what I...

I can get this old Vise from the neighbor for free. It's been outside for years but with some disassembly and my bead blasting/powder coating I think it could really end up nice. I own a PC business so the refurb is free; the question is "is it worth my time?". I know very little about...

The gun I bought was the 3/16 rivet gun. This rivet gun FAILED 175 rivets in. The back cap (you know, the part that is pointed directly at your face most of the time) failed. The cheap aluminum (is it even aluminum?!) threads failed under the spring and air pressure, and the cap came FLYING off...

Im selling my HF floor blast cabinet due to a recent upgrade to a much larger Skat Blast Cabinet. This cabinet is silicone sealed at all seams, has new glass on the window, new high-quality gloves, and a new Skat-Blast cabinet upgrade kit (includes the Skat Blast gun, pickup, and and tubes...

Hey I'm hoping to get some opinions here. I am building a new powder coating booth and had planned on using a standard small dust collector with a 5 micron or less bag. Question one is will that work? Question two: I've got the option of either purchasing a used delta AP300 or a new harbor...

So I wouldn't call myself a "hammer guy", but there's something to be said about good hammers. That being said, I happened through my Lowes today and spotted hammers for ridiculous prices. Scored a $30 Bostich bricklayer, a stanley ball pein, a kobalt 4lb engineers hammer, and a stanley wrecking...

So, just as the title says.. I bought an 80 gallon "Black Max" 220v compressor with 6.7hp motor yesterday. It's got a new motor and a new compressor on it, which I think may be contributing to my issue (incorrectly setup by previous owner). Anyways, I got it for $325 so I wasn't too...

So the short story is I was on Ebay, searching for air filters. I saw this unit about to end and I placed a bid for $50 on a whim. I won the auction, but the unit was from a private individual and all the auction said was "air filter". I have no idea what this thing is. I was hoping one of these...

I built the closet pictured below specifically to house my compressor (when I can afford it). I got the 220 ran and connected, and am now just waiting for the compressor cash. I didn't insulate the closet walls or drywall the interior, mainly because I wasn't sure what I was going to use for...

So I am in need of drier air! I live in FL, and it's killing my tools and im running through desiccant like crazy. I won an ebay auction today on a unit, and am wondering if anybody has experience with it? This is the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=151077968786 I...

So I picked up a drill press from a guy the other day off of CL. It is 5/8 chuck beast, which weighs a ton. He said he has never used it, and it has sat in his and his father's shop since the late 1980's. I picked it up for $70 after seeing that it worked like new...it didn't even fit in my...

So I have been looking for a router, and saw one on craigslist. I met the guy, and picked this up: Older craftsman router, one of the "made in the good 'ol USA ones" not the newer ones that don't hold up. It was just what I was looking for! It was a bit dirty and worn when I got it, but I...

UPDATE ON PAGE 3 12/6/2012 So I bought a DeWalt 18GA brad nailer eleven months ago, and I have hardly used it...it still looks brand new because I take great care of my tools. I was showing the wife how to use it to tack up some trim yesterday, when The indexer on the nose of the gun...

So I have this ugly cabinet seen on the far left here: Obviously, it sticks out like a sore thumb. I want to paint it to match the wall, stripe and everything. My question is this: I have the latex paint from the wall. Can I reduce it a hair, throw it in my spray gun, and let 'er rip? Will...

Here's the story: I bought this house, built in 2001, last year. The concrete in the garage is terrible. There are places where it is chipping up, and a couple small cracks. There is even a quarter-sized hole that somehow got in the floor. The actual concrete seems fairly solid; I can hit it...

So here it is..don't laugh. When I am running my air compressor (little 5HP 20 Gal I believe), and I turn on my air conditioner (portable Sharp roll-around unit), the breaker trips. That's a pain because then I have to switch the breaker back on, and turn the items back on again. WHY is this...

I acquired a toolbox for free from work, and it was full of rust from sitting outside and being unused. I decided that I want to refurbish this box, and remove the casters to use it as part of a work bench. I am currently in the process, and thought I would share some pics of the process. I am...

So I searched...i promise..but I couldnt find anything organized. Here's my question: I am buying my first home. It has a two car garage with a floor that appears to have been painted with that "garage floor paint" (you know, the grey paint that people think works)..anyways, from what I saw...
