What did you do "IN" your garage today?

[dwljpl]

Unpacked this to hang in the garage. I've wanted one forever!

 

[crewchief888]

i scored a metal shear a few weeks ago, but hadnt been able to put it to use.

i've been searching for suitable material to build a stand for it, and hadnt had any luck....
yesterday i found a HD trailer jack at work that was being scrapped, torched off the bent pieces, and brought it home.

scrounged in my scrap pile and found some more pieces....
dug through my spray bombs and found the "appropriate" color..

This is the cabinet I built to hold some of my tools. It is 48" tall, 92" wide, and 28" deep. I am thinking about putting some pegboard on the inside of the doors to hold light stuff like carpenter squares, hand saws, and small hardware.

I am NOT a cabinet maker (yet) and I was proud of myself because the doors open and close properly and do not rub or squeak anywhere. I don't like the gap where the doors meet, so I may have to dream up some kind of trim or something to close up this gap.

Nice job,can never have too much storage space

Cleaned up a million little metal whiskers from the die grinder. Got a few in me.
Cleaned some sticky **** off the bench. Then cleaned the sticky **** off my hands... Wound all the weed whacker spools.

Fixed it for ya!

Saved the shop from some overhanging trees today

Today I got a good bit done actually. My brother brought him '03 Ram over this morning and we changed the upper control arm and lower ball joint. It wasn't a horrible job, but the lower ball joint didn't want to separate from the spindle and took some extra coercion. Everything went back together easy enough. I did get to show off my 3/8" and 1/2" Fuel Impacts though.

Wife took my to lunch and icecream for father's day to miss the crowds tomorrow. Then I came home to change the oil in my F-150 and then changed the oil, oil filter, air filter and fuel filter on my John Deere 325. Then hosed off the oil that dropped down from the oil filter change. Got it put away right before the storm hit. Tomorrow I gotta change the oil in the wife's Kia.

Bolted down a safe I picked up used for the ammo. Now I need more ammo to fill this one up.

 

[99LeCouch]

Changed oil in my car (yay topside oil changes) and fixed the garage door that decided to not open.

I wondered where that last can of "Barney Purple" spray paint went to.

 

[Lone Star Blaze]

Started cleaning and purging out things in my garage. Getting ready to move back to Texas. Hope this is my last big move until I retire.....if that ever happens

 

[kaymccampbell]

Disassembled some small school woodshop lockers. Cut the door frames apart to reconfigure them. Started welding them back together in a more( to me) usable format.

 

[bobcatdan]

Worked this morning. Milked a general maintenance on a Deere 244J loader while making double time. Now at home, sitting at the garage bar taking a little break from making a riser for my Kennedy 520.

 

[Kent_B]

Nuthin' much. Wash & tire rotation on the Legacy sedan. However, Fri. night, my son & I finished a rear brake/rear strut replacement on his Outback wagon. Garage is still a mess.

 

[patrickn]

Pulled the engine out of the Bronco today and starting the rebuild on it. Maybe pulling the rest of the body off of the frame tomorrow.

 

[k-os]

Got 2 sheets of OSB up on the wall.

 

[Vegaman_Dan]

Worked on the Triumph a bit more. Not much paint left on the body tub. Unfortunately the rear valance has been hit and badly repaired. It also has rust on the bottom and I think while I could save it, it would take 20+ hours versus a replacement panel that can be welded in for $250. My time versus money meter says replace it. Gives me a chance to use spot weld cutters for the first time.

Rebuilt a Craftsman 17.5 hp riding tractor. It had been slowly rusting away in the woods for the past two years. Cleaned the carb, replaced the ignition swith and solenoid, put on new tires, cleaned/lubed everything and I mowed my little acre in Georgia tonight. I also had time to hunt down all the parts I need to build the "bitsa" Honda 750. Overall a pretty good day!

A man after my own heart! I am just getting reenergized to start the reassembly of my TR-6......



Is that a Spitfire? What year?

 

[jroach321]

Unboxed my new rear axle housing for the yota.

 

[bobcatdan]

I have say this is very nice morning. I'm on the 9am late start shift this week. On those weeks I like start on my home projects in the morning. Decided today was a good day to take the H out for ride to warm it up and drop oil. Went for a nice 1/2 hour 5th gear cruise around the country side. Backed her in the shop and dropped the oil. Going to let it drip until I get home tonight. Just a simple fun morning playing with the tractor. A beer would be good, but not before work.

Eyes wide open ... going to have to watch that little girl.
Looks like a little trouble maker

 

[buzz4041]

Cut the oil pan and cross member for drive train alignment. Cut out all the gusset and motor mounts. Will clean them up tomorrow and get them tacked in next.

 

[jroach321]

Rotors and pads

Put some rotors and pads on the jaguar.

She's a beauty! What have you named her? Sooner; my avatar is almost 12 and slowing down a LOT. Someday hopefully far off i'll get a chocolate Lab and I'll name him/her Bosco, Hershey or Charlie Brown or some such. I

Give her lots of love and congrats

 

[polexican23]

The wife is Irish so she said she wanted an irish name...Her name is Harp (like the beer). My choice of Monkey was vetoed. And she is kinda mellow and knows already that I am the alpha. Took just one day to crate and potty train her. She is a smart lil thing.

Working on a J-pole antenna right now or will be again after I eat lunch.

 

[Ben Buck]

Put new tires and tubes on my dad's old 1977 Sears Free Spirit that I inherited after his passing.

 

[NitroShark]

Installed EFI. Tuning next.

Prepare to be amazed at the difference it makes...

 

[vwracer]

What is a j-pole antenna?

 

[Outlawmws]

A home brew antenna that has exceptional gain and brings in stations that built in antennas on most receivers can only dream of. if you are in an area with strong reception less of a need, but I know guys that before were lucky to get one or two stations and those would be iffy, and with a J-pole were getting collage stations (with minuscule power...) and clarity on the original stations as well as many they never knew were there...

 

[k-os]

Got two more sheets of OSB up. Not have the bottom 2 feet left on the wall.

Concrete guys also came by today to cut the slab and backfill gravel in the driveway.

Just started using my garage/metalworking shop after a long period of clearing it out.

Made up and assembled the metal parts for two double screw Moxon bench top vises.

Drilled and tapped the hand wheels and cut the sections of ACME threaded rod.

 

[mbret2004]

Took apart my snowmobile engine. Awaiting on a new crank for it. Swept up, and organized my hardware bins. Buddy came by with a anti freeze leak on his truck. Replaced heater hoses then drank a few beers.

 

[zmotorsports]

Started a new position @ work this weak and it has really cut into my shop time in the evenings. I haven't gotten a damn thing done this week other than last night installed my new brake controller in my truck and put my old one in my son's truck.
