Popular Post Freightrain Posted January 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2019 But..... Amazon has FREE SHIPPING!!!! I like Amazon, it's handy, but like anyplace you have to shop around! Same goes for Grainger, Mcmaster Carr, MSC, etc. They will be cheap for one thing, gouge your eyes out on other things. I've been contemplating a simple weld table for the garage since my work benches are always overflowing. I've found them for $50 to $200 depending on who's name is on it. Harbor Fraud is by far the cheapest so far. 2 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Hobert62 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) As for harbor freight some of their tools are good quality. Others aren't worth the junky cardboard they're shipped in. I'm a fan of the better toolboxes. Defiantly worth checking into. Also like the jackstands I have several 6 ton and a pair of 12 ton.

Freightrain Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I think Bob is referring to just buying stuff at a local store, for anything, instead of buying over the internet. I'm in agreement, but it is getting harder and harder. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Sorry Paul but you got screwed. Solomon was a proven liar as per his father David whom I acquired the originals from through family passdown. In fact after David slew that SOB Goliath, wasn't nobody gonna doubt a damned thing David said. And that was before he was king!! My kids spent literally hours with the calligraphy set and left me wondering what they was working on. Never knowed what all that leather was for they was buying either. Their sudden interest in sheep befuddled me. I have the original Ark plans and use them for a formal dining room table cloth as the hide holds up quite well under the clear plastic. 1 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
