    What is this thing?

    My chop saw has one on it. It is bolted to the base and the clamp that holds the metal when cutting. The quick release reduces clamping/unclamping time.

    Dust Deputy - it works!

    Their value is to remove most of the debris from the air stream before it enters the filter, thus extending the life of the filter. It doesn’t matter the vacuum source or filter medium, I don’t think.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Experimenting with French cleats for organization. I ripped 1”x6”s instead of ripping a sheet of plywood. They were #2s so a lot of work fixing them as they were pretty rough. Next attempt, I will use plywood. #1s were almost twice the price. Building the holders now.

    Bench vise identification

    I picked one up just like with missing pipe jaws. It look like a Baileigh vise and I think the jaws will work. What keeps the jaws from turning 180deg. Mine was welded and there is not a lock screw or pin like the new Baileigh.

    Z Garage [ 28' x 28' Suburban Detached ]

    Love the garage and the clean look inside and out. FYI* I could not tell from the photo but it looked like your rag storage cabinet had a dirty rag compartment under neath it. I work in a manufacturing facility and we are only allowed to store oily rags in stand alone metal cans due to the...

    Recovering from being burglarized

    Sorry that this happened to you. You are handling it well. Much better than I would. Wireless cameras with motion detectors that can be remotely accessed look interesting to me. They are not very expensive either. You can get an 8 camera setup for less than $1,000. Adding motion zones that set...

    Who works with oxy acetylene at home?

    Nothing like having a fire wrench around for farm equipment. If it hasn't been said yet, Acetylene bottles are never laid on their side. Found a good PDF on handling/safety. See below. http://www.airproducts.com/nr/rdonlyres/9d325c49-7c62-41e5-aa0b-8411db4d84f8/0/safetygram13.pdf
