but it was pretty funny. When I hooked up http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=156066 to http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=158954 to blow out the water for the winter. My wife was in line as the reel started spinning like a kids vertical spinkler soaking her...

The hose reel that the wife had out front was like most plastic reels that is sold, flimsy, lightweight and a pain to reel the hose in. I had a concrete saw in the back of the truck this week and a broken 2" concrete air condionioner pad. I also had a pretty decent spare hand crank hose reel.(...

I finally got my old Curtis air compressor running. Original post: http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1156087#poststop Being the cheap guy that I am I was waiting for a cheap motor to power it. I recently found a 5HP 1725rpm single phase for $50.00. Cheap enough for me. I could now...

Too much green? I finally made a top for my cast iron workbench legs. The top is oak I salvged from donnage and is 2 1/4" thick. I probably should make a lower shelf too.This thing is heavy. The big problem I'm having is no where to keep it right now. Original workbench leg post...

All there but in rusty condition: I'm not sure what to do for it. I would like to save the label. Maybe a light cleaning job and clear coat it? Regards Barry

I didn't realize that old batteries had an outer shell of cardboard. Anyways I thought these were pretty cool: I also came up with these things: An Allen 1/2" Female Wobble(?) Ratchet. I need an extension for it. A 1/4" Plomb Ratchet Set The ratchet needs a screw An old...

I think the neatest was this goose neck work lamp: You guys will probably want prices also, $5.00 for the light. As if I need another vise or screw jack , oh well: A Hollands 24 vise, $30.00. Two Screw jacks,2 1/2" and 1 1/2" screw diameters, $5.00 a piece. A 2" Snap On wrench with a cut...

Items picked up while garage saling. Up first a Reelcraft Hose Reel, $20.00. Next an old Craftsman Tool box: Some of the contents of tool box: 6" hole saw and some big Planetor bits. Tool box and contents $5.00. Miscellaneous in box: Dewalt drill $2.50. I guess I can use the big ***...

A couple of weeks ago I was going to mount a vise on a new steel plate topped workbench that I built. The hole I was going to drill was larger than 1/2", bigger than any drill chuck size that I had. Rather than buy a reduced shank drill bit, I remembered seeing a Craigslist ad for three 3/4"...

I saw these listed in the local free ad paper and picked them up today, an old workbench with cast iron base, it also came with the Hollands 14 1/2 vise. The vise was removed for transportation. I also bought a second workbench that I have to go back for. While I was picking these up the...

How old, who made it, and what is possibly missing or doesn't belong? All sockets are fractional 32nds except for the 9/16. Thanks for any replies. Regards Barry.

I didn't know that at one time Skil made a 10" circular saw. I don't foresee any projects where I would need it. It runs like a top. Another one of those odd tools that draw me in. Also a Simplex 1 1/2 ton Ratchet jack was bought. Not tool related, but too cool to pass up: Regards Barry

so I brought it home. Any ideas as far as the age on it? I also found some ratchets for a buck a piece. Fleet on top and two Stanleys on the bottom. Regards Barry
