My Clausing is a fine piece of machinery, but unfortunately the table is not geared.

I would assume the Clausing has a pretty heavy table!!

It would take me a lot less time to finish a project if my wife did not continue to hide my tools.

It is getting heavier by the day for an 80 year old, but I use it seldom now.

I don't have a picture but pipe wrench holder (actually storage) I think about at my home place all of Grandad's adjustable wrenches he mounted a board on one wall with 2"x2" blocks either end. All wrench jaws hang from it.

Pipe wrench storage is pretty easy for me as all handles have a hole in the end of the handle.

Are your blue and red zones getting mixed up? I see a blue bin and air hose in the red zone.:confused3:

Always a smart ***** in the mix.

I was going to let you know one of your wrenches is bent but I will refrain. ��

Nice dodge, Terry. We know you're color blind.

Pipe wrench holder.

That's really slick! It turns a two man job into a one man job.

The talk of ice cream and doing some plumbing repairs last night reminded me; the plastic lids from 1 gallon ice cream pails make good small parts trays and they can also be good for painting small pieces as (at least some) paints won't stick to the plastic used to make the lids which keeps small parts from getting glued to the lid by the paint drying.

Hmmm....wonder how fast I can get through a gallon??!

Coffee can plastic lids real good fer mixin epoxy and Bondo on. Dem plastic coated business cards you get in mail work good for small batch.

Juice bottle cuts off wid zip disk and becomes tool/part drawer divider

For me it was and still will be a one man job.

Only now it will be minus the frustration and injuries !

You already have a pipe wrench holder. Just set one into one of the 2" pockets on your welding table in your farm shop thread.

Haha. Not portable like sberry's though.

Working in the hot baggage bins and cockpits, I coiled up an air hose in a tight coil. I ty wrapped (zip tie) it to an aluminum plate to secure it. It was about 12 foot long. I then drilled little holes into the top side of it about every inch or so. Plug it into an air supply and I always had fresh air blowing on my face.

hugs, Brandi

Enlarge holes.

Enlarge holes.

How do you center that cutter in an existing hole?
