Re: The 5 Stitches Garage 20 x 22 in FL
Ok teaser, here's what I bought home today.
Vintage tool chest unknown make but heavy, solid and will fit DP project great.
.
This stuff came from my father's house.
2 drawers with ball bearing slides.
My original DP. I put it there for storage and use other while gathering supplies for new DP project.
My vintage craftsman box. Dad was using it. I gave him my 26 chest in exchange. I needed smaller he needed more tool storage. I also sold him the craftsman 40 I just got. I sold it for what I needed to get the old new chest and vise I got today. I could have made more but just needed to recover cost of today finds. He's happy and I'm happy. Here's a pic of 40 in its new home. Those drawers where pulled from table to make room. So he got 2 new boxes I got 1 and both will be able to clean both out garages up nice. Win win all day long.

Re: The 5 Stitches Garage 20 x 22 in FL
Gerard, I like the red vintage box. It looks to me like a MATCO box, or an old Snap-On. I bet "somewhere" within it will be some numbers to identify it. The gray craftsman box is just like the one I have my machinist tools in, only mine is branded "Stack-On".
I would "cherry pie" that red box up and you will have a real treasure. Your doing so much trading, I need to load up my truck with some stuff I have and see if I can get a deal out of you!! LOL

Re: The 5 Stitches Garage 20 x 22 in FL
Pack up the truck and head south Mr Herb. We got warm weather, cool beer and hot deals. I'm sure we could do alittle trading. LOL. I had it on the garage sale tread and they said at the moment in 65 when this was made the that company did make boxes for Snap On but I don't see a snap on num. Theres a stamping.
I really wanted a craftman 11 drawer chest but I saw this and it fit my needs and size I was looking for. I am doing this one up but havnt decided fully. One idea might make a old craftsman guy like yourself very happy with choice of paint colors.

Did some moving and cleaning this morning before I head out for Easter dinner.
I see some painting in future.
That 4 drawer cabinet just bothers me. I really got to mount it in such a manner that its higher and removable. I take that out first than that gives me enough room to move the boxes when needed. I havnt had the machinist chest in 8 9 yrs. I realize one I want another and second damn it needs restoring BAD. The friend I got it from used a brush and gray paint on outside I knew it but never paid much attention to it at my dads.
I also mounted the D44 and Shop King on same bench. Its a shame to have it sitting on shelf not to use the Shop King. I moved the trademark of my garage which I really need a new mounted different. I'm thinking a shadow box.

Re: The 5 Stitches Garage 20 x 22 in FL
LOL, good one herb. Its just the way of my garage. I think it takes min 5 attempts to do any project. The problem is just a space issue. A extra foot here or there or in some case just a few inchs makes a huge difference. LOL I here the jokes coming now. LOL!!!
You have your hands tied working in a box and getting parts and pieces to fit and getting the overall look you desire takes some attempts. I'm getting there. The smaller new machinist boxes will work nice and thinking the new roller from my father might help.
I do plan a whole reorganization of tools when DP idea is done. Here's how I have in now.
The new roller from dad is like my rollers but only 2 drawers and a bulk storage. Thinking 2 drawers and maybe the 6 drawer Craftsmans under? I always wanted drawers on my gray table so those narrower diamond plate ones will go in place of the one bigger one.
I like idea but them I lose space on side for my reciever hitch vise mount. Then comes trying to figure out the new MBC box and the wanting of the 11 drawer craftsman. I plan to keep everything but the MBC has value in a trading or selling aspect so??? What to do? I'm working it all out maybe by next weekend ill have it figured out.

On a other note I've broken down the MBC chest. Doing alittle sanding and removing some of the dents and such. Most of the issue is almost 45 50 yrs of use and grime.
Box is in great shape just needs some TLC and some fresh paint. Just need to get lock and handle for parts.

Hey Gerard
Are you going to be able to mount the drill press and be able to use it without having to move out the cabinet? However I really like the idea of being able to move the DP around the shop, that would be pretty handy. I was just thinking of being able to use it in place like for long items, etc. I am getting senile with old age, but I have totally lost track of how many boxes you have. Do you still have the 1970s Craftsman like mine?

Re: The 5 Stitches Garage 20 x 22 in FL
The DP will mount to top of that bottom roller once I build a frame around it from angle iron. Its real tippy now. The frame will sort of look like this.
But I will build it real tight around that roller. That bottom doesn't have the strength so I got to add some. My whole plan is to have a DP mounted on a mobile cart with storage for all my drill bits and accessories. Its the idea I always had but couldn't find cabinet I was totally happy with. I still got the set of Craftsmans like yours. Hoping to find some more of those in the future.

Tack welded some door hinges on.
Welded hinges to top.
Good thing about using door hinges is that I could remove the table until I get chance to narrow cart. I also need to figure out the prop how i what to do it.
On cart I did a wheel swap to some taller wheels.

Yep, I'm up to my crazy *** ideas. Tonight I was working on some inventive storage solutions..... LMFAO. Ok well how do you fit a top chest in my work bench wall WITHOUT losing any work surface??????
Sometimes I wonder my mental state. It took some time but I worked it all on that one wall. This works cause gets it off bench and still have use of vise. The drill holders will go to right of bench light. The drill chargers will be mounted to board to right of drill press.
Now just waiting for wall to fall down.
I decided to go back and build DP will that MBC box. I using that bottom roller as a temp deal until I restore the MBC. The only thing I gonna do it find a place for my welder and welding torches????? I got few options to ponder.

Yep, I'm up to my crazy *** ideas. Tonight I was working on some inventive storage solutions..... LMFAO. Ok well how do you fit a top chest in my work bench wall WITHOUT losing any work surface??????
Sometimes I wonder my mental state. It took some time but I worked it all on that one wall. This works cause gets it off bench and still have use of vise. The drill holders will go to right of bench light. The drill chargers will be mounted to board to right of drill press.
Now just waiting for wall to fall down.
I decided to go back and build DP will that MBC box. I using that bottom roller as a temp deal until I restore the MBC. The only thing I gonna do it find a place for my welder and welding torches????? I got few options to ponder.
Have a good one, Gerard

Re: The 5 Stitches Garage 20 x 22 in FL
I possibly found a deal that will throw a wrench in my workbench wall. Im just hoping that it happens. I did find free **** today.
The clubs don't look like much but I know a secret about them. I found them in a free pile by curb. They clone clubs called King Snakes after the real club called King Cobra. A long time I spent lunches in a golf shop learning about golf club making. I did this for about 4 yrs and in this time I had a set of these. I traded them to custom build a set for myself at the golf shop. I still have those and play them proudly cause the owner warren past away. He was a great guy and my golf mentor.
Anyway, Clone clubs are ALMOST like real clubs but small changes keep them from copyright or patent infringement. Well the makers of King Snakes was the only company never to get sued by a club maker for coping there design. I use to love theses clubs and I plan to clean them up and chase the ball around soon with these.

Can't say much being going on. MIL fell Saturday and broke hip. She had surgery Mon but its gonna be some recovery time. I did try removing more dents from the new chest but the heat/ then cold method didn't work. I think metal is to thick.

Found another compressor today.
Bottom of tank is shot but motor and pump looks good plus got some other parts I can take off. Cfm rating is 5.6 at 90 and 7.2 at 40. This might work out as constant run compressor.

The compressor looks pretty good. Too bad about the tank. On the tool box dent, I would probably be trying a piece of 4X4 and a body hammer. If you could get a wedged piece of 4X4 behind the dent, you might be able to coax it out with a few well placed strikes. Maybe if you can use a flat piece of metal stock on the outside to beat on.
Good Luck--I'm waiting to see that little treasure repainted!
Best Regards

Re: The 5 Stitches Garage 20 x 22 in FL
Thanks Herb, issue I'm having is the double wall construction on sides of that box. There's no way tp access back of dent. I could use a stud welder if I had one.

Re: The 5 Stitches Garage 20 x 22 in FL
Thanks, I've always liked VWbut do like the styling of Audi better. Netherless, wife loved that car and that was our first VW. When we found it was beautiful and WELL maintained.
She was rear ended at speed maybe 30 40 mph maybe idk, no skid marks and she walked away unharmed. That is a true testament of that cars safety. That's the 2nd or 3rd accident I heard where if it wasn't a Passat then it could have been a lot worse. Currently, looking for another Passat to replace it since we love it so much.
