    Craftsman Tap & Die Set - Antique? Value?

    I stumbled across what appears to be a nice old Craftsman Tap and Die set at a yard sale today. It's all in a very nice old wooden box with simple hinges and hook latches. All the labels appear to be there. I am trying to find the value of it, but can't find anything anywhere! Anyone able...

    Never Look a Gift Horse In the Mouth - aka Free Tools

    My buddy was over at a friend's house when her dad insisted that he no longer needed his 2 toolboxes of miscelaneous tools. After my friend got through picking out what he wanted, I got the rest. Not bad for free tools. They will go in one of the "beat-em-up" tool boxes that goes anywhere...

    More CFM from my compressor?

    I have recently acquired an old Campbell Hausfeld compressor (model # VT 3012) for a whopping $15 :bounce: . It's a 5 hp gas model with twin cylinder single stage compressor and a 20-30 gallon tank. It's in decent shape and the engine fires up well with a nice shot of starting fluid. When...

    My measly little space...

    Well, I cleaned up the garage a little bit and I figured it's about time to show it off. It's a single car garage, but I don't think either of my daily drivers have spent more than a couple of nights in there. I've rebuilt a couple of engines (VW Diesels), done engine replacements, and am...
