Tools ! Tools !! Tools !!! |

Step right up & post your tools Any tool for any job Post it here. Even ones you dream about
I put this up cause today i got a combo disk & belt sander i soooo needed one of these. The hand sanding is fine when finishing, but ruffing it into shape by hand is and can be a long process. So im happy boy today
Also my 14" band saw multi use with this baby. Drill press. And table mount scrowl saw. These are some must haves if you want to cover alot of wood working hobbys. You can build ALOT of things with just these power tools.

Good idea, if I listed all my tools we'd have 200 pages, I gotta clean up the garage when my dad gets back from cuba so we'll shoot some photos them. I'll make the major ones and my power tools, well my most useful ones.
And no you'll never see any jobmate crap in my garage, I only got 1 thing made by them and thats a rotery tool for shapening chainsaw chain. All about Makita and Dewalt for me!

That looks like a tidy, well-equipped work area, Drummer. Like Troop, I couldn't begin to show what I have. I had an adequate number of tools, then when I inherited my father's stuff, my collection quadrupled. I'll post some of the more interesting things in a bit, though.

I don't have many tools. Just the basic pliers, screwdrivers, hammer, etc. Stuff like that.
Not worth the trouble to upload pics, either.

Woo Hoo ! just got another well needed tool ?, i guess its not a tool for building, but, it's a tool for keeping my shop clean lol. This is a Delta Dust Collector/Sweeper. The bottom has a vacum type set up so you can use it like a sweeper that sucks up the heavy'er sawdust. I have gone on a buying spree for the shop

I'll take a picture of my two tool boxes, then maybe some of the other toys later.

That goes for anyone, say if you used a hammer & smashed your thumb ! post it & the injury

If I had a dollar for every time I did that...
And it hurt all at once every time, too.
That's an inside joke.
If somebody smashs their thumb you're supposed to ask "Did it hurt all at once?"

I have too many tools to take pics of either, but I've always been careful with them.
Three of my four grandparents had a finger cut off.
One of my great grandparents had his arm cut off in a sawmill accident.
Grandpap kept saying to grandma..."C'mon get a finger off, we can be in the Book of World Records!!" Grandma was not amused.

Here are some of my drills. The top 2 are hand drills. The one on the left is likely over 50 years old. The big power drill on the right is a 1/2" drill, and I've only used it once or twice. It's handy mostly if you see someone else drilling and you want to say to them "That's not a drill. Now this here's a drill." At the lower left is my everyday drill. It's chuckless, infinitely variable speed forward and reverse, with a built in level. It's a Mastercraft I got at Canadian Tire real cheap by waiting until it was on sale, then using a bunch of my Canadian Tire money. I also have a pile of dead cordless drills. I think they are putting better batteries in them now, so my next drill might be cordless again.

Right on Bushy I know a guy that has a Pincor drill. Looks pretty much the same.
This guy is about 56 years old and has been in the construction bizz for 35 years & that was his first heavy duty drill, still works great he says.

I just put my leather shop in my basement. Here are some pics...
Work table.... It can fold out to 4' x 8' to work on big hides.
Rubbermaid bins are invaluable!!!...
Bits n Pieces....
View of the other side of my shop.... the practice hall....
My messy knife shop in the garage....
