    Vintage S-K Tools

    Super interesting topic, incredible to see all the knowledgeable being shared! I have some SK stuff and I would be curious if someone's could date it for me. Also, if someone who is more passionate is interested in these I would be open to part with them. This one is special "not guaranteed" 😂

    Heater and compressor wiring

    Thank you all for replies. I did the right thing and installed subpanel next to the main panel. In retrospective I wish I ran the subpanel in garage but this will do it. I have heater connected to 30amp breaker and compressor to 20amp. Everything is tested and working great!

    Heater and compressor wiring

    I had those thoughts as well. Currently my home still has 100amp service. My plan is to sometimes in next 2 years replace the panel and involve electric company to upgrade me to 200amp service. Also, it's an old Westinghouse panel and I would rather do it all at once. Maybe I'm overthinking...

    Heater and compressor wiring

    Thank you for your reply. Yes I did run 3/4 conduit (EMT) and ideally I would do exactly what you suggested. However, my panel is full and I'm actually getting rid of one breaker to make space for 2 pole 30amp breaker. Changing panel right now unfortunately is not an option.

    Heater and compressor wiring

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    This popped up on local marketplace and I wasn't even sure what it is but I was hoping it's my favorite vise. After getting there and checking it - I was happy to confirm I was right. And then after a bit more cleaning: Besides some of those paint stains, it cleaned up really nice and...

    Show us Your Vintage Bench Grinders!!!!

    Thanks guys. I noticed when I turn it on wheels move left and right, it seems like whole pole/shaft is moving. Granted I only have one more bench grinder and it's not doing that so I would assume this is not by design? Any thoughts on how could I fix that?

    Hello! Picked up another grinder today but I can't find any information about it anywhere. I'm curious if anyone knows how old it might be and any other details? Brand is ACE which I believe is today Ace Hardware Stores. Original price sticker still on it which is kinda cool.

    Yeah, I was trying to imagine benefits of this vise but it doesn't really apply to anything I'm doing. I forgot to post an old score couple of weeks ago... And one today (bit less of a score tho)
