Bj,

I know that photography can sometimes be deceiving, but that sure looks like an XXXL clamp sitting on top of that very nice tool chest. Nice snag on the bargains :sold:

Hi Bob

It's a BIG wood clamp, it's about 8 to 10lbs of wood and steel..
The tool box it's on is 20" long ...

When I saw the box it came in I said WOW,, 2 clamps in one big box 8" tall x 18" wide and 30" long and I said all that for two clamps with all most no packing in the big box...to speak about,two little air bags..LOL, I said I think they sent me a case of them , but no way just 2 of them...10" and a 12"

I was in the shop and the BOSS said you have some boxes out front that FedX just dropped off and I said OK , but see didn't say you will need a 2 wheeler to get them.. LOL LOL I had them in 3 days and they didn't charge me for FedX,,9.oo shipping charge.. they must have a heck of a deal with FedX.


Just a NOTE **** Harbor Freight had a Black Friday sale going on with some great deals I thnk it runs until Sunday ....
Note the date,but you can find the 2007 items with the link below

Hi Corey
Thanks

Yep,they are neat yep just stuck on a template with some tape and put in a pocket hole to put the keys in...

Ten years from now I should have the backup set I think..just in case..

Bj,

That is really a cool chest for the bucks. One heck of a find for sure. Makes me want to replace my old red metal one, but I would still be stuck having to put it on top of the red metal base cabinet.

That key slot is a great idea although in 10 years are you going to remember it is there? LOL LOL At my tender young age I am already having trouble remembering yesterday.

Hi Bob

Thanks

Well in ten years I may not care, alot can happen in that time but the next guy may want a set of keys and he will think he found a gold mine by finding the keys on the bottom...life is short...it's like when I put the numbers on the back of the safe the BOSS that's real smart hahahaha LOL but I lost the numbers along time ago in my small head so it did work out just right when I put them on back side some 30 years ago...but I did code them so I was the only one that could decode them, now if I forget that I'm in deep stuff.

Like many I think I have tons of keys on rings that I have no ideal what they are for but I keep them just in case I find the lock they go to LOL I made a box for them about a year ago and I said I should sale them for the brass , I would get 150.oo bucks just for the brass in the box ..

The oak workbench for $180.00 intrigues me. I have set aside a few plans and pictures with the thought of building one myself in mind, but now I would have to weigh my time and cost of materials against moving ahead to something more exotic or difficult, and just buying the "Stoe Bawt" bench. The only real downside would be losing bragging rights... i.e. "I built this." Ha ha... I may forego the ego trip!
Thanks

I like it as well Roger. Even if the leg system is to flimsy it could be shored up pretty easily. I like the drawers in it. If the top isn't perfectly flat which it probably isn't you could use a router sled to plane it down flat.

Some things you need to be aware of before jumping on that HF workbench.

Ha ha... I don't know if I would call it a joke but it certainly isn't what it appears. Still not a bad deal for 150.00 with all the drawers etc. don't yah think?

[Bob N]

Not sure on that one Corey. I had a friend teach me how to build drawers with a Kreg jig a while back and I think I could build a lot of drawrers for that $150

Hi Guys

The table is neat BUT the shipping cost can kill that good deal,here's a link to one on Grizzly web site to check out the shipping cost on that type of item , HF will not show you that until check out time..

Truck item... over 100 lb...for just the top..
And Grizzly has one of ths lowest shipping rates..

Just some more Clamps, this type will fit any size box quick and easy.

Just tie it in a knot and that's all ,then just untie it after the glue is setup,roll it back up and it's ready to go again when you need small or a big clamp, it comes in 10ft ..1/8" to 3/8" OD size. Surgical Tubing

Hi Harry

Well just a update on the clamps,,, Great clamps for the price...

They are made with nice Oak and made very well,,they use a helix rod in the center of the clamps to keep them true when you slide them out for a quick release, the locking device is a pin that pulls up when you push the bar down,they also have a pocket in the Oak to put your fingers, the silver bar on the back side of the clamp is a safety bar ,they are very hvy.about twice as hvy as the standard wooden clamps...one thing nice about them is they can be taken down unlike the normal wooden clamps once the handles are on and it place...that makes it nice to clean the rods up...when a bit of glue gets on them...they work the same way as the normal ones but with the quick release.

All and All great clamps and they would make a great gift for the wood worker for this Xmax.
