Pick Me! Pick Me! (said the guy that never wins anything, ever)

We put all of our compressors on a simple timer switch instead of an on-off switch. In our home shop its a 2-hour one, in our manufacturing shop we have them on longer ones. If you forget to turn it off, the timer does it for you.

You are right. I restored an original Lincoln engineering one (very similar looking to the Excelsior) and when it's all said and done I could have bought 1 1/2 of the new ones for what I have into the restoration.

Winner? Winner? Chicken Dinner?

So I can't help but notice that some fool has used my newly chromed and painted Nail Head motor for a prop to take photos of these wrenches. Ryan, would you please tell that funny looking photographer's assistant of your's to stop setting his "tools" on my new motor?

The 32 piece is on sale right now and is marked down to $79. It is a pretty good deal at somewhere around 50% off.

PM sent -I'll take the vice if you still have it. John

Ryan and Marcy, I REALLY agree with Mike57 on the size consideration. My wife and I built on to our 1953 ranch style garage about 15 years ago and before the walls were even framed I knew I should have gone bigger. My mistake was not making the space deep enough to have work benches and...
