With the new forum software being much more photo-friendly, thought I would start a project thread. So, with no rhyme or reason and in no particular order I’ll quit hoarding pictures on my phone and start sharing a few here.

Looking for 1/8"- 3/16" -1/4" punches and die butoms for a Whitney #2 Hand Punch. Intermediate sizes OK. too Punch Bodies are 1/2" diameter, Dies are 7/8" thread EDIT: looks like #2 and #8 Whitney hand punches use the same punches and dies; anyone out there have these colecting dust in a...

Saw this on a jobsite today.

Looking for a Lifetime Products Wheelbarrow. As long as the tub is OK, I can deal with the frame, handles, tires, etc... Phoenix- Payson-Heber-Show Low-Pinetop areas OK. Bump 7-7-2021 Someone out there has to have one of these. I was able to order one on the Lifetime Products website, but the...

Picked up this table this weekend, machined top, cast iron base stretcher, heavy pipe legs, industrial casters. Very heavy duty construction. I was told it’s an antique typesetter’s table; came out of a small NM newspaper decades ago. Price? Free. A good friend was cleaning out an...

Looking for some advice on cleaning epoxy floors- bought a house with a 5-car garage, all epoxy floors. These were installed in 2004, not sure they have ever been cleaned. I have about 1500ft2 to do. Want to get these cleaned up, would like to do it myself in sections because I'll have to move...

WTB- Rockwell 21-100 Mill in decent shape- Preferably within ~500 miles of Phoenix. Might consider a Burke Millrite with R8 spindle. Per larry_g's recommendation I'm adding an Index Model 40 to the list. UPDATE: Found an RF-31 with stand, powerfeed, vise and tooling locally. I guess a...

I'm just about done with Knipex pliers. Love the Mini-Bolt cutters and the Cobras, but have nothing but disdain for their other pliers. Their needle-nose pliers are made out of a silvery cheese-like substance. This weekend I just ruined a new pair of diagonal pliers- pulling a bunch of 1-3/4"...

Anyone have any experience with Truper Body Hammers? They look like fairly decent quality, with better fit and finish than the Chicom stuff. Going to need a couple for an upcoming metal project, don't intend to become a professional body man, these will be just for occasional hobby use. Not...

Really like the 2438 Milwaukee Sander Polisher. It really does a nice job with a 3" disc. Great balance, plenty of power. I'd really like to see a 3/8" x 13" M12 bandfile. Seems like it would be easy adaptation to the 3" cutoff tool... Any others?

Not sure if this has been posted already... Looks like Lowes will be selling Craftsman in 2018. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2017/10/25/lowes-offer-former-sears-brand-craftsman-tools-second-half-2018/797808001/.

Looks like someone at Skil finally made the obvious connection... Wonder how many Skilsaws hanging upside down under a sheet of plywood screwed to a couple of sawhorse with a 2x4 fence it took for the light to finally go on?

I was in a high-end RV repair facility today, spotted this and thought I'd share it with the GJ community. The tech proudly told me it was all paid for- he puts in a lot of 12-hour days and wanted a workspace he could be proud of... Let the love/hate fest begin...

Someone on GJ needs to buy this...(I'm traveling...) http://www.seconduse.com/item/383002 Lots of other interesting items, too.

Bought a used 2012 SRX, it has quite a few very light scratches on the windshield. You can't feel them with your fingernail, but you can sure see them from the inside when the light is right. Anyone have any experience in buffing these out? Or do I just bite the bullet and replace the...

Whenever I try to upload a picture , I get an error message "A problem with this website has caused Internet Explorer to close and re-open this page" This is new, any ideas what might be causing it? Don't need any smug comments from the MAC cult. ;)

A Wilton bullet dropped off by a friend today! He was getting paid to clear out a storage unit as part of an estate settlement after the family had finished taking what they wanted. He's a great scrounger, so I'd asked him to keep his eyes open for a big old vise for me ... this was the first...
