My plan is to have a lower desk-height table for the reloading. I'll also have a computer desk (the one with the tank on it in the pictures) in the room. Additionally, I plan on building (or buying) another table with a butcher-block top for use as an assembly table. It needs to be smooth and...

Thanks, the one in my avatar is his new little sister. By the looks of your avatar, you have a good looking pup too. Only the legs are pressure-treated. The rest is just good ol' untreated pine. I'm thinking either some polyurethane or fill the cracks on the top of the bench with wood filler...

Thanks, paint is almost done, so I should have some progress pics in the next day or so. Also, I keep thinking about the bench and whether I should stain it, paint it, or leave it be. Any input from you guys?

Thanks. I'm going to try and go minimalistic with everything as much as possible. As you can see in the pictures theres a lot of stuff everywhere. Hopefully some different storage options will take care of that for me.

Well, I didn't know exactly where to put this since it's not exactly a "garage"....I have one of those out back though. But it is a workshop, so hopefully I don't get ostracized for it. :P This is a progression of my "gun room". It started out as merely a corner of my full, unfinished...

yes, "reddy heater" type of heater

do you know how long a propane tank lasts with your heater approximately?

Well, I'm looking into getting a tube heater (forced air heater) like a Reddy Heater...my question is this: There are propane, kerosene/diesel, strictly kerosene, etc fueled tube heaters...which one would be the best/most efficient? I realize that "best" and "most efficient" might not be the...

Sooo, I got bored friday and decided that even though I have plenty of workbenches and tables in my shop, i should have one in my basement so I dont have to walk all the way out there :P Actually this is gonna be my gunsmithing/small project bench. Here are the pics: I am also building a gun...

whats the part number on those? if its not too much trouble

The matco bars are nice, they have ergonomic handles and metal caps on the ends for striking They are a bit pricey, but nice nevertheless

i want to hear some real-life reviews after you use it...not that i doubt its quality, but reading the side of the box often times can be misleading :P

most of those are knipex....matco, cornwell, and snap on sell those...as well as others possibly edit: you guys beat me to it :P

So the moral of the story is dont work for the airlines if you dont want to etch your tools? Do I have it right? :P To the OP, I say do what you want, I certainly dont buy tools thinking im gonna be getting rid of them one day Anyway, all my extra tools, or tools I upgrade go to building my...

well, you would think this is true...for most people a slotted screwdriver is probably fine but after prolonged use, a flat head will mess up the slot on the dzus when customers have $200k in a race car, they get picky about little things like that

yep, just torque it like merkava4 said and you should be good :thumbup:

do you happen to have a part number for the thing? or maybe a stock number from the reciept? i went to the closest home depot tonight and they didnt seem to have it i might can call around and check the other HDs and see if they have it $20 is a deal thanks :thumbup:

the caps typically wont come off even if you take the bolts out...so nothing should change unless you hit one of the caps and it pops loose, they should stay put just take the bolts out, remove the girdle, and replace bolts and torque them down (this is assuming the engine is upside down on a...

i deal with them constantly, as 90% of the racecars we build have body panels fastened on with these....as well as many of the interior panels we also use camlocks as well makes taking things apart at the track fast and easy

yes, i considered this ratchet as well, but have had other things that have been more of a necessity i have the 3/8 and 1/4 spinflex proto ratchets, as well as a long handle 1/2 fixed head proto, and i like them all a lot i know this is about the indexable head protos, but if any of you are...
