There's nothing wrong with being cheap. No need to let things go to the dump if you see a purpose for them. Almost everything i have in my shop except the tool box and one welder is saved from a dumpster, or from a salvage yard.

I've cleaned alot of rust metal with a twisted wire brush on an angle grinder to include a few frames. You'll make a mess but can bare metal pretty quickly.

Did you change anything when it started wirking again? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

To me it would depend on end use, how durable apossed to being organized. The Army switched over to plastic Kipper tool boxes. Drawers with foam for each piece. http://www.offshore-technology.com/contractors/tools-and-workshop-equipment/kippertool/attachment/kippertool1/ They ended up being...

Should call him back and see if you can recover it from the yard he scrapped it at. Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk

Lately I'm not looking for efficient or fast. I'm enjoying learning, experimenting, practicing skills/ entertainment. I will see if I can get time on the press, probably end up flipping the tube. There appears to be about .25" + around the screw/nut assembly to beef it up. Anyone in the...

Thanks, I'm on my phone. I can't navigate very well on the app Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk

I'd considered that. I don't have a press to pop it out, I have limited access to one though. If a couple hour fix would work that's what I was looking for. If its bound to tweak again after fixing it I'll do the quick fix. Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk

Trying to spruce this old vise up. Thought it was going to be easy paint and bolt it down. When I putting it back together I notice the jaws aren't lining backup. I've seen there are some guys on here that are pretty knowledgeable on vises. It may have been over tighted or dropped and tweaked...

Not in short term, the collar is there to keep handle from splitting. That type will split over time without the collar.

I wouldn't trust a plastic handle for long. My craftsman has a bent tubing handle that I like. The wheels on the other hand concern me every time I move it, flexing like they're about to tear out.

I took a high metal shop class and I was decent on the farm with stick welder. Fast forward ten years I picked up a mig after minimal welding, never operated one thinking same same. I made a mess even after reading up on setup and technic. Ten minutes with a guy willing to show me how, I made a...

The glue may be stronger, but will deteriorate over time. The weld may not have been done as well as it could been, too hot. To many variables to say its better, I've seen welded panels crack and glued panels fall off. Gluing has its place, but should be riveted in my opinion.

I think I know what's going on my Xmas list. Cool, how they hold up so far?

What are those doodads on right side of top drawer?

X3 for changing, I keep street shoes, running shoes and second pair boots and change of clothes behind the seat in my truck. Mostly just in case but welding boots only get worn to the shop and back to my truck. They are worse then a lead foot, my last pair that leather rotted out on were 7lbs...
