I thought this was why they made bottoming taps?!

Got any cool tools lately?

This way seems way faster to me.
I just asked the manager at Ace if I could order the sizing board. She said yes!
This was many years ago but I think I only paid $40 for it. She called up her Hillman rep and ordered had it in a week.
Not sure if it counts as tools or not, but, definitely tool holding.
4’x8’ peg board is mounted. 3 fir strips behind it, semi-equally spaced to provide plenty of staying power. Wifey is getting me lots of pegs to hold stuff.
Melinda was right there helping me where she could. Hanging that is not a one person job.

I always hated pegboard. I thought it looked sloppy and lazy. "Put the tool away."
This shop had 2 walls done in pegboard. There is no more room on them.
Understand, there is a huge Snap-On roll away directly opposite of the board. It’s completely full of 20 years worth of professional automotive mechanic tools, plus a Snap-On tool cart where I keep everything I use regularly, like wrenches, ratchets, sockets, hammers, pliers, screwdrivers. The board is for bolt cutters, cable crimpers, DOHC timing belt tools, pipe wrenches, giant crescent wrenches. The real oddball stuff that I still need access to once in a while.
So, it’s a good thing

Oh I guess no one told me that.
I have been building stuff like that by myself, not the easiest but I make due
My new tool.
I was looking at that same one. Figure out everything so you can be my tech support. 
If 3d printers are 1/2 the trouble pc paper printers are not sure it's worthvthe effort
The black Friday sale was worthwhile. I picked this one up for 45% off.I was looking at that same one. Figure out everything so you can be my tech support.
I have had zero issues with either. But I prefer the laser printers for paper, not that I print much out these days... actually, I have had one repeating issue. I run out of paper at the worst times. Usually when I walked away and didn't pay attention to it.
Like most machines, there can be breakdowns and maintenance. The nice thing about 3D printers is you can print your replacement parts and accessories. I'm printing a waste tray over night tonight as the first real print. It catches all of the waste that is spit out during color changes.
Color me envious…
Which is the path to the dark side…
Where?
It's from bambu labs
I've had my eye on the same one, but it's back ordered until January. Did it say it was in stock when you ordered it?

They were in stock at the beginning of the sale. Mine was delivered in a week.
I have been wanting a lift for years. Everytime I saved enough money to buy one, the price seemed to just about double. I have continued to keep looking though and a few weeks ago came across a unicorn. A Forward DP10S 10,000 pound 2 post lift towers with a Hunter Engineering rigid 16 foot alignment runways. Plus a pair of Hunter 3,500 pound pneumatic wheels free jacks. All at a price less than when I first started looking at cheap 4 post storage lifts.
I drove the Cowdog a week ago 222 miles to look at it and ended up buying the very heavy thing. The turbo got used just about the entire 222 miles home too. It took me several days with just an engine hoist and floor jacks to get it unloaded. But, it is just about all assembled now. I have been test fitting vehicles to make sure I can get them on and off without issues. The M715 is a great work platform to let me reach the tops of the towers.
