bleedinblue Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 I just bought my first half dozen of the Dubuques and they're the bees knees. All of my clamp purchases in the foreseeable future will be Dubuques. I bought a three pack of the racks that hold 9 each, I intend on filling 'em up.

What kind of racks hold those? the ones called pipe clamp racks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some of these on my short list of tools to buy. I have heard a lot of good things about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i have a spreadsheet. I also try and price what the furniture would cost of purchased. To put it this way. 2 to 3 large pieces easily paid for most of my tools. This isn't including home improvement uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really built a useful piece of furniture for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you have to include the cost of tools that you bought, but didn't actually use on the project, but just thought you might need some day? 'Cause then this shop cart was about... Yikes!
