Grizzly Tool Catalog - 2011
Every year Grizzly releases the handyman's index of all things woodworking. The Grizzly catalog continues to impress year after year, and 2011 is no exception. This year, Grizzly has added 24 pages of woodworking and metalworking offerings, as they continue to expand their product line and offer their customers a tool for every occasion. From the small budget machines to the high end South Bend Lathes and Mills, Grizzly is offering a smorgasbord of choices, all in stock and ready for immediate delivery. Grizzly remains committed to offering a wide array of products at the lowest possible prices, and follow it up with a customer service team that is second to none.
If you've never looked through one of these things, you're missing out big time. This year's offering is a full 700 pages of tools, accessories, milling machines, router bits, guitar making materials and every other tool related item under the sun. The prices are generally good and there are some real steals with Grizzly's tools. If you are in the market for expanding your woodworking or metalworking toolsets, the Grizzly catalog will certainly help you pick the best option available, at a competitive price.
It is common every year to compare prices on products to previous catalog years in hopes of tracking the increases in market pricing for these toys. It seems as though this year, the general consensus is that prices for Grizzly goods have remained relatively stable. Of course there have been fluctuations, but these changes are occurring in both directions. On some items the customer is receiving a reduced rate over last year, and on others the changes are less favorable. On the average, it appears as though pricing has remained constant.

homemade tool trolley?
I am an apprentice and for a project i was thinking of making a tool trolley, i was wondering if you guys had any ideas for designs or what i should have on it, it needs to be about 700 long x 400 wide not sure how high as to yet. i want it to be unique, so any innovative ideas would be appreciated. i have all the tools needed including, welder, guillotine, bending brake, sheetmetal rollers, lathe and more cheers.
It's hard for us to answer because there are unknown factors. Do you need to be able to move the thing to different job sites or is it to remain in a shop? Should it be collapsible? Are you unusually tall? Do you need to roll it through narrow doors or into elevators? Will you do detail work on the cart itself, or only use it to move your stuff around? Does it need a power source, lights, or air fittings?
I made a similar thing for myself a couple of years ago when I built museum exhibits. It had a base, a middle shelf, and a top. I could take it apart and reassemble it quickly, but I made it so it was sturdy enough to carry a lot of heavy tools. I'm a little taller than the average American at 6'1", so I wanted the top shelf to be a bit higher than ready made carts, and the whole thing was narrow enough to fit through crowded hallways and into elevators. I had a bracket with a series of holes to hold cordless drills and flashlights, and hooks to hold cords and air hoses. I bought large, high capacity casters that could roll over thresholds and cords. It had a power strip and a cup holder, though liquids were not allowed in museums. When I was in the field to install complicated exhibits I usually had a lot of tools and hardware, so had to have a trolley that was stable and strong. Now I build theatrical scenery and sets, so I make sure that anything that gets handled repeatedly or is subject to contact with clothing is smooth and free of burrs and slivers because it shows respect for others and attention to detail.
One thing you can do is to look at what type of rolling carts your colleagues have. Because welders and machinists have the tools, material, and experience with fabricating complicated metal structures, they have the ability to create elaborate personal storage devices, but often don't in order to not appear to be showing off. Personally, I feel it's important to make something that is comfortable for you to use and most importantly, cuts down on the time you spend looking for individual tools. Because you're an apprentice, you can use the design and fabrication of your tool trolley to demonstrate your ability to build a strong, durable, stable, and useful shop fixture that is tailored for your physique and individual requirements. I assume you're relatively young, but you should be concerned with your health and minimizing the wear and tear on your body. One of the ways to accomplish that is to always try to work at the proper height and lessen the amount of bending over you have to do in order to lift heavy objects. I'd put the really heavy, seldom used tools on the bottom to provide ballast and keep the smaller, frequently used things on the top.
What else are you going to put on the trolley? Just your own tools and equipment or are you going to use it to transport small parts, materials, solvents, and cutting fluids? Can you add hooks to hold a welding jacket, helmet, respirator, and face shield? Because I really hate to look for things when I'm trying to work, I try to make a place for all of my stuff to minimize the amount of time I spend searching for little tools. Do you need a bracket to hold a work light? Can you attach a power strip to it because they're really handy to have at times. Get the biggest, highest quality casters you can afford, because the ability to roll over an extension cord or screw can't be overestimated. A well designed and crafted shop cart or tool trolley can demonstrate to your bosses and coworkers that you're dedicated to doing good work and are paying attention to what your journeymen are teaching you. It will also make you more efficient and lessen your frustration by making it easier for you to find your stuff while minimizing the amount of time you have to walk back and forth to fetch things.
