    grab hook or slip hook

    Thread Starter: Dave Fritz

    I'm looking at getting a pair of bucket hooks: https://www.bxpanded.com/BX-bucket-hooks I like the fact they can be removed when not needed. I will use it mostly for lifting logs and pulling them out of the woods as well as sometimes lifting heavy items. Most of the time I'll use a chain which...

    Paint booth fan?

Basically I have a 3'x5' downdraft bench on wheels with an old furnace blower to draw the sanding dust thru the table and out thru furnace filters.

    I hate rusty saws, but...

    Thread Starter: Richard Hutchings

    I just saw an ad for 7 rusty saws for $25 and I may not be able to resist. One has the thumbhole but broken horn. It might be worth buying the whole lot but I'll have to get better at cleaning them up. I hate the mess. Hopefully someone will buy them before I decide to bite the bullet.

    If you want to publish an article, you can join our authors group, which gives you access to a forum which is open only to would-be authors at SawmillCreek. This is a staging area for new articles, where you can post a new article, and we'll review for publication. Once you're ready to publish it, we'll promote it on the front page of SawmillCreek!

    Try posting pictures inline for visual interest.

    Choose a catchy, yet descriptive title!
