    Anyone used the Striker Supreme Welding Helmet?

    Looking for a new welding helmet. This one http://www.usaweld.com/Striker-Supreme-Welding-Helmet-p/supreme.htm ticks off all the wanted items, including price point. My concern is a lack of reviews by users. The only reviews I find seem to be from the company selling it, USAWeld. My...

    Craftsman Radial Arm Saw

    Cruzan80: Thank you so very much. Guess I haven't been looking in the right place. I'll check on the recall/safety upgrade. My old, old Craftsman RAS also had a recall, but I couldn't replace the saw for $100, so I continued to use it. Never had a problem. Thanks again.

    Craftsman Radial Arm Saw

    Not sure if this is the proper place, but I need some information on a Craftsman Radial Arm Saw. I purchased an electronic radial arm saw at a neighborhood estate sale. A neighbor said that the PO bought the saw and only used it to build two gates and then covered it in a tarp and stored it in...

    Craftsman Rolling Tool Box -- Need drawer clip

    I'm in the process of unpacking and sorting out my shop after a move. While checking out the status of my father's old Craftsman box getting things back in better working order I realized that one of the drawer slide clips is missing. Any chance one of you would have a spare or point me in a...

    Cabinet and Drawer Knobs/Handles

    Finally getting my shop unpacked and sorted out since my move a couple of years ago. I have various cabinets that I would like to use but none have knobs or handles, which makes opening them tough on my arthritic hands. Any clever ideas for using old/unused auto parts as a handle/knob? Just a...

    Harbor Freight (!) Driveway Alarm

    Transmitter detects a vehicle only some of the time. Last night we had two different food deliveries (teenagers :-) ). First one chimed as it came through, the second didn't, entering or leaving. I have my receiver mounted on a three foot post a few feet behind our entrance gate posts and facing...

    Harbor Freight (!) Driveway Alarm

    I'd say the batteries are more expensive than the system COSTS. Personally I think it's worth is PRICELESS (especially for the price).

    Texaco Station Replica / Backyard Shop

    Recently a member documented his new Texaco Station Replica project which he built in his back yard. Detailed the type faces, where he found the stars etc to decorate the outside. I guess I'm a dummy, but I've searched and searched but haven't been able to find it. Can anyone help me out with...

    HF box Vs Cman

    X4. I love my HF 44 inch base and top box. I will buy another base when the budget allows, but they've changed from a textured finish (which I have) and a smooth finish, so they wouldn't match (yes I'm **** about things like that). FWIW: They no longer allow the 20% off coupon on the tool...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Re: what did you do in your garage today? Went over to the shop about 6 and packed up about 6 egg boxes in prep for the upcoming shop move. Was only 90 in the shop then.

    New Shop with a Service Station Facade?

    Thanks for the info, links and pictures. I'm Thinking something like the attached photo built onto the front of a steel building shop would give me the look I'm after. Think a flat awning out over the pumps (but not as far as these are would be a nice touch. The overhead doors could be the...
