    Need help identifying garage door bottom seal.

    Looks like a very smooshed J style. https://www.elitegaragefloors.com/martin-garage-door-bottom-weather-seal-by-the-foot/

    I'm 62 and my shop needs serious work.

    100% this. I'm 58 and just did an oil change and other routine maintenance on the Exmark and Mule. I hated looking at the hour meter gauges and adding them up. Love the place we're at but maintaining it seems less fun each year.

    Walkout Basement Cover Door

    I have a similar walk out and had same issue with drain clogging. Water would go over the door sill into basement. I did the poor man's version of @HoosierBuddy Drain thing but used a rain gutter downspout strainer like this. Installed 20 years ago and never had a clog or overflow into basement...

    Update: "Nut" with 2 parallel sides instead of threads

    I don't doubt for a minute you know more about milling etc than I ever will but a 13mm fits the flats exactly and a 15mm fits the round exactly; I even had a friend with digital calipers come over and check it. In any case, I did not want to wait potentially forever for a part to show up on...

    Update: "Nut" with 2 parallel sides instead of threads

    13mm wrench fits the flats. I would have thought this would have been standard as it is made in USA but 1/2" doesn't fit. Looks like 15mm OD of round bit.

    Update: "Nut" with 2 parallel sides instead of threads

    I am looking for a "nut", for lack of a better term, that has 2 flat parallel sides in it instead of coiled threads. See silver nut in attached picture. The nut will fit over a metal rod that has a matching flattened area on 2 sides. The outside of the nut can be a regular 6 sided type that...

    1990's Delta power tools paint color?

    Does anyone know the color of 90's Delta power tools like this radial arm saw or the best way to match it? I suppose I could take something like the blade cover to a paint store and have them match? Cheers Dukester

    Cleaning up old power tools

    Hey folks, I haven't been on here in quite a while. I have a Delta 33-990 (1996) radial arm saw I would like to clean up. Specifically the elevating column that has a fair amount of rust on it and other bits and bobs like the front track arm rod (both pictured below). I also have an old...

    Columbian D43 1/2 replacement jaws?

    Recently given a good (good enough for my use anyway) condition Columbian D43 1/2 except one of the jaws is broken. Is there a source for replacement jaws, or if not, what are my other options? Hate to toss it because of this. Wilton's page does not show anything for these. Cheers, Dukester

    Cabinet for Small Parts Storage Cases

    Here's my version. I finished it today. I did mine a little differently in that I wanted to make use of some space between 2 tool cabinets. The only way to do so was to turn the parts boxes sideways. Not a big deal to me to not have the handle facing out. and The other reason I built it...

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    I took it out and tried to get the best photos I could. Unfortunately I don't see a code; it appears to be well worn, more worn at one end than the other. Maybe it's not worth the time trying to fix up?? Gallery of vise photos... Thanks, Dukester

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Was told to post here from top of forum...so please forgive a double post. A friend gave me an older Wilton vise that he had tack welded some angle iron to the jaws. The angle iron wouldn't stay on & I tried adding some JB Weld later, which didn't work. Can I get inserts to fit this vise &...
