Hands-On Week, Show Us Your Shop, New Podcasts

A few happenings here at TM we want to share: 

Hands On Week 

For those of you who love tool tests — and who doesn’t? — you’re going to love next week.  We’re designating next week “Hands-On Week” with a new hands-on post each day for seven days starting on Monday.

(Now you know why we’ve been spending so much time out in the shop testing tools.)

Some of the tools scheduled: an angle grinder that doesn’t slow down much under load, a kick-ass tap and die set, an affordable air compressor complete with air tools, and a drill off the pages of GQ.

Show Us Your Shop

We’re seeking more pictures of reader shops.  You’ve seen our shop — now show us yours!  Send us a link to your photos via the contact us page.

New Podcasts

If you haven’t noticed yet, Toolmonger’s podcasts are back in a big way with new episodes of Tool Talk and One Beer Projects out this week and every week.  This week our friend Joe Brown from Wired magazine joined us in Tool Talk to cover the “top five” (as selected by you) and we cover ceiling fan installation in 1BP.
