Atlas 46 Yorktown Mechanics Roll

I bought this thing a few months back after my Instagram feed was invaded with countless ads from the maker – Atlas 46. On a whim, I decided to make those ads effective and buy one. I’ve been meaning to do a review ever since and finally found the time this weekend. Overall? It’s a really nice tool roll with incredible carrying capability… but, ya gotta pay for it. You can get yours here. Note: This is not a sponsored post. I paid full price for this thing and thought I would just pass along my thoughts. See Comments on …

You can start from scratch on the entire shop build here or just follow along with the cabinets that start here. This is quickly turning into one of my favorite builds …

OneTIMES Tool Equal Space Divider

I got to play with one of these things the other day and meant to feature it then, but forgot… In any case, it’s essentially a really expensive and incredibly well made tool that does something you can do with a $5 ruler without too much trouble. BUT, I still want one. Details. See Comments on the forum.

Hollow Punch Set

Hollow punch sets are one of those deals that you don’t need all that often, but when you do – they are invaluable. A couple of years back, I had a leather project I was working on and I bought a cheap set from Harbor Freight. It was worthless. The steel was so damned cheap that you couldn’t get the punches to hold an edge at all. This week I’ve been working on the old Silver Streak trailer and needed to make a bunch of rubber gaskets for all of the tail and running lights. Rather than deal with the …
