The ONE tool? No such thing. Different tools exist for different purposes. Screwdriver? I can't imagine doing almost anything without one. ...

A fairly stout cloth bag with a drawstring would be a lot easier. Not as easy as the plastic or non magnetic tube idea but a lot less bother than...

I had the same experience. I tried to correct some errors on their pages and someone, perhaps the original author, removed my changes. It appears...

An assortment of end mills, and a coffee pot !! JL...............

What about a water diviner?

Max and I each made a list of 10 tools that are important to us in our home shops in a podcast: ...

My reading glasses. JR

The thing I used daily on those two machines was a dial test indicator, with an Indicol holder.... that fit onto both machines. And of course ...

Same here. Been re punctuated same as Paul :o

That is definitely on my next project list.

Not typical tool? Google and the internet, often accessed via a cell phone. I can look up the owners manual for most tools in my shop. I can...

Just my opinion, but a band saw would be my choice for no reason other that the finer teeth of the blade making the cut easier to control. As stated...

The sedative of choice is usually Propofol, or as Michael Jackson called it, "Milk of Amnesia". I need sedation for my endoscopy- I have a strong gag...

I'd tend to agree with what Captain K says could be implied about that stereotype. I can recall somebody getting bent out of shape with the mention...

It's funny how two people can read the same sentence different ways. I thought that the stereotype farmer was one of resourcefulness. Tales abound...

My local guy is very good and price was fair but took almost 6 weeks.

Frazzled is a good description, I would have said shell shocked. Good luck. Post back if it gets to you.

I made a couple of those last year, one for the workshop and one to carry on my motorcycle for emergency repairs. Turned out to be a good item to...

OK, my mistake. I didn't look at the OP's location, but he said he lived between Ontario and Detroit (Detroit is in the US isn't it?), and I, wrongly...

What size and quantity do yo need? Mark (Prisoner of the U.K.)

With difficulty. The switch(es) via digital inputs would be used to select preprogramed parameters, like "second motor set", or a sequence held in...

Might be just the place I've been looking for. I've sent an inquiry. Thanks.

Mowing. Um, yeah. Just as soon as that 15" of snow in the yard melts, I'm gonna swap the snowblower from the Gravely for the mower deck. Then I'm...

Trying to stretch the limits too far on aluminium is going to bite your ass when the thin filler is melting before the puddle. But like you said "to...

I have wondered the same thing as the OP when dealing with Boxford a number of years ago. They wanted certified payment in Pounds via mail and said...

I think my coolest machine is my Tormach PCNC440. Since I scaled back, it has replaced my Bridgeport and a drill press and a scroll saw. Visitors...

I don't much care for the implication here and elsewhere that farmers are either not smart enough or are too lazy to learn to do something properly....

Reading through some of the posts I see you are thinking of making the rivets. Can you use solid electrical wire? Available in different gauges and...
