I used the fixture and bulb combo listed below (quoted from the first post) for my 18 x 30 garage. My garage is finished out and painted white. I bought seven fixtures set up into two strips of three and a single right over my workbench. Very pleased with how it turned out. I don't currently...

I bought one of the ones from Cripe on eBay. It will be here on Thursday.

I picked up the surface prep kit and a utility knife. I have been wanting a 90 deg. die grinder for quite a while. I did notice that they Onyx 90 deg doesn't show up on the Astro website...

I have an opportunity to buy a pair of vises: a Wilton C3 and a Columbian D4. I am not really interested in the C3, but might take it if I could rehab it and resell it. What is a reasonable offer for the pair? The C3 does not have jaws in the pic, but the seller says they are in good condition.

I have seen some of these for sale in the neighborhood of $35-$50. They need some work - is that a decent price for these?

If I had a place like that near me, I would be there almost every weekend...

I am looking at a 1150. Where did you get your VFD and which one did you get?

I found one listed for auction somewhat close to me, but the only detail given is the model number, 1150. Does anyone know what voltage these normally used? I think I have seen both 208 3ph and 240 single. I am guessing that I would be looking at a motor swap to get 120, right?

The more I think about it, you are right. Why is finding a used American made vise such a chore? I would be more than happy to get one that needs some cleaning up.

Your ID looks to be spot on. I am the buyer, so I will start with $20...

Some more info: Closed length is 14" and it has a 5" jaw width.

Any idea as to what it is worth?

I have an opportunity to buy this vise and was hoping to learn more about it. Can anyone help with identifying the make and country of origin? This is the only photo I have: Thanks for the help!!

Would love to see some more pics!

I have thought of that and the Bonester has lower profile wheel wells. I guess I should clarify, when I say "trucks", I mean pickups. Refer to my avatar for one of the two.

I have that same brass hammer with dimpled wooden handle (lower right-hand corner) in my box. It belonged to my grandfather.

I am getting a creeper from my wife for X-mas and have been looking at The Bone and Bonester models. I work either in the garage (polished concrete) or in the driveway (not quite broom brushed concrete and expansion joints). I work on either of my trucks (all 4 tires on the ground) or the car...

Very cool garage!! BTW: Fatherhood is one of the most amazing things a man can experience. Congrats on the addition to your family.

I wish I had a place like that myself. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
