Hand Tool Storage Cabinet (renamed thread) - 13 replies Three hours ago I never even heard of one never mind seeing any… Unfortunatly I wont be able to say which thread I saw it in because I sometimes skip way back to see older threads… Once I saw what it was I already knew where it was going… It took about 1 1/2 hrs to dig out wood to build it with, I never keep sc... |

Weekend Purchase (Stanley #7 + Craftsman Miter Box) - 5 replies The miter box is pretty much as received except for freeing up the rear guide rollers… The #7 I’ll probably do more to it at some point but for now I’ll take a break… I do think I overpaid for the #7 but except for the nickle on the lever cap there were no major problems so I bought it… But ... |

Advice needed to finish Trunk - 15 replies This trunk was actually never supposed to be, it started as just a box (sides, bottom, top) just to get rid of wood under my bed… Unfortunetly ever time I was almost finished I’d look at the wood scraps and just kept adding to it… Wherein lies the problem, the top, front and rear banding is red oak, the front and ... |

picked up Freud plung router (FT 2000 E V2) today - 6 replies As stated I picked up this through a trade at a local used tool shop, for some engine building equipment I’ve just been moving from one shelf to the other for years… It seems to been in fairly good condition, no guide or 1/4” collet (does have the 1/2” collet) but from what I can see just needs to be taken apart and cl... |
