A quality short hand drill for use in small spaces, in good working condition. A good example would be, say, to fit between joists type size. (But not for that use.) A hand drill shorter than the normal average 12" length size. Send me a PM with total length of drill. With photo if possible...

Great advice from all above members. One is never to old to learn! 'Music makes the world go round' as they say-- As suggested try the ukulele for the following reasons: A lot smaller fretboard (strings and frets closer together)---Nylon strings (Easier to press down than steel strings.) The...

I am looking to buy a small wooden mallet to use on small chisels. A mallet with a hardwood head. I currently have a mallet--12 1/4" length which is to big for for small work. Can you recommend anything shorter?

The bass is in a 'sad' state. When I bought it--many years ago--it was a playable bass. I took off all the hardware, striped the varnish off down to the bare wood with the view of restoring it--never got round to doing that. It would have taken a lot of work to do that. The back needs to be...
