I love his videos! I'll check it out.

Well, I would love to do some trading with these. I collect old Plomb brand tools, so maybe someone wants to do some swappin'!

Thanks. I figured I would just add these to the antique tool drawer

I couldn't find any markings, but I'll give them a closer inspection tonight.

Aaah, for babbit bearings?

These were in a box of estate sale items I bought. They have a leaf shaped blade of sorts. Are they a boring tool for wood?

I bought a miscellaneous box of **** at a local estate sale because there was a rough Plomb ratchet buried in there ( I kinda collect the old Plomb tools) and there was this nice Norlund hatchet head hiding at the bottom! Anyway, I was pretty tickled. Now I need to find or make a handle for...

It has a 200A breaker on the pole that feeds the shop.

Yes. I have a 200 amp box and it’s less than half full.

I have a small bathroom in my shop with a shower, along with a sink behind the bar. I’m getting ready to finish the bathroom and shower, and the current 1 gallon water heater under the sink barely makes enough hot water to wash a pair of beer mugs. So I’m debating whether to run wire and 2...

I’m considering purchasing one of these since my 35 year old Hobart mig bit the dust. I’ve always wanted to learn how to TIG weld, so this welder has me interested. Any thoughts on these?

I didn't mention the gun safe idea, but it is on my mind. 😁 I have a big stand alone gun safe that I normally have in the SW corner of the room, but I considered moving it to the right side of this chimney. It's pretty full, so a little more "safe space" is a good idea.

Yeah, we even talked about an electric fireplace built into a wood enclosure.

Thanks for the input. I dig the tractor avatar. BR?

No, it’s real Arkansas stone.

Ok folks, this isn’t in the garage or shop. It’s the living room. This was originally a garage slab when we bought the place. A little over 20 years ago, we decided to add on to the house over the existing slab rather than build a garage since I already had a 30 x 60 shop. Here’s the issue...

I picked up this nice little 6” Crescent at a local estate sale for $1 today. Got a killer 4’ shop fan, too. It set me back $100, but I’m happy with it.

I picked up this Bonney RF54 at a sale today for $2. I was happy.

I had a decent 1/4" bit set that was basically thrown together, but I have lost it. I would like to have a good set that will hold up to my Milwaukee M18 impact driver. Who makes the best set for the money? I'd like one with a few sockets along with all of the various long & short bits.

I scored a few flats of misc sockets at a local online estate sale for cheap. I was unable to get to the “viewing” day a couple of days before sale close, but I rolled the dice and it paid off. I ended up with a few S-K 1/4” ratchets, numerous extensions, adapters, etc. and dozens of sockets...
