    Tool brands and buying habits

    I really like my Snap-on tools, however they aren’t the best for use in the pull-a-part or other local salvage yards (Tools get lost). So I have been using older craftsman tools for the salvage yard or in the tool box in the truck. I buy everything used either on Facebook Marketplace or Ebay.

    Show off your old signs

    I'm a big time collector of these old signs. I've been buying and selling old signs for almost thirty years now. Mostly as a hobbyist buying one or two here and there. But I do buy whole collections from time to time. And I buy just about every nice sign I can afford that I run upon locally. My...

    New to me toolbox

    I bought this tool box for $25.00. It was strait but all scratched up. I had it powder coated and found some new handles for it. Looks great now. I use it for the vintage tools I bought but never use. LOL

    Garage Art

    I was fortunate enough to have understood the value of these old signs when I was younger. I started buying everything I could afford when I was twenty, and that's been about twenty-nine years now, so I now have a small collection of nice original signs. But for those now just taking up the...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Re: What did you do in your garage today? I finally got around to insulating the garage and putting up OSB. I finished it off by covering the OSB with vinyl. I am avid collector of old signs and vending machines so I thought the vinyl siding would help to highlight the vivid colors from the old...

    old craftsman toolbox restoration

    I have taken a few tool boxes apart and had them media blasted and powder coated. It didn't cost to much and was actually very easy to accomplish. It was also quicker and cleaner than paint remover, sanding, scrubbing and cleaning, the basic prep work for a repaint.

    Permits to work on motorcycles

    One or two bikes in a garage shouldn't be an issue. Keep things cleaned up outside and stick to working with cash. I had a friend in North Carolina who restored old gas pumps and soda machines for customers. The neighbors called the EPA on him for painting in his back yard. His defense was, he...
