I've lurked everyday and commented infrequently.. but that ute is looking just mint. The co-ordination is sublime.

Nothing beats a nice pair of booby's

Personally I've had good success in using a 21g needle attached to a syringe... the needle is sharp enough to scrape the surface (and is sterile).. and the syringe makes a good handle. Not sure I'd do it to myself... or without Lignocaine

I personally would much prefer a present that is "cheap" that someone has taken the time and effort to make rather than something that is expensive and has no "love'" put into it

I literally got them yesterday (the day I posted).. and here in Australia we don't have Craftsman but... the finish is nice, no rough points, engraving looks pretty deep and has sizing on both sides of the open end and on one side of the shaft. They say Made in China on the box.. but like any...

I agree, as I get more old equipment it'll come in handy more and more.. Not positive how I'm going to display... I'm slowly making a rolling tool cart based on Adam Savages idea Convenience says the cart/on the wall, compactness and neatness says in the tool drawer This is it except mine is...

Prob not as flash as some of the gear here.. but got myself a 44pc set of wrenches today... I didnt own anything imperial either... so they solved another problem I had! Perfect for a home tinkerer like me :)

Been lurking around here often.. esp following the Restored 1930's workshop, 1/2 cups "A Shed Downunder" and Grizz1963 "Mixed Grill".. been up to a bit, nothing spectacular.. but I got some new toys today! A 44pc set of GearWrench wrenches... I didn't have any Imperial sized sockets...

Your workshop (and your work) is to die for. I dont feel worthy to look at its beauty some times

Like most other people have said. The removal of the palm has made a huge difference. The street appeal has increased massively. Lucky the previous sellers didn't make it look so good :)

I'm a lurker.. but I had to say that I love that location of the fuel cap.

Also known as a wife beater...

Redneck.. Lisle make a larger set 70940... think it goes up to 3/4" (I'm not feeling bad about reviving a 2 year old thread now :) )

Jason, That is my expectation. The Lisle set works with a 3/8 ratchet (&/or whatever extension you want). There have been a few times recently that this would have help immensely

Thanks for the help selecting some tap chucks.. I've just ordered a set of Lisle LI70500 from Amazon. Makes sense to get a chuck that's set to the correct size rather than an adjustable that can come loose... can't see myself tapping something bigger than 1/2".. if I do then there is the...

Fingers crossed for you buddy

It has a lovely Briggs and Stratton engine. Starts with a single pull (just like the lawnmower). I havent had an edger before and the first time I used it as a test run around the back yard I managed to eat 2 of the sprinklers.... I considered an Atom but i'd heard so many mixed reviews...

It's been a while since I've posted but thats not to say I havent been busy doing little projects... (though its been hard with a wife doing post graduate studies) One of them was this.. A store bought weeder/turf cutter.. an excellent tool except for its design flaw which caused it to bend in...

Hey 1/2.. you should move over to WA!... This is my solar output for the last 7 days :D I'm looking forward to the ability to have a reasonably priced battery system to draw from at night.
