Great work on the bases Shorty.

Thanks! I hope one day I'm at least 1/2 as good as you.

What I do now? If it's bad.... It was me, I was out of town, I have a alibi. LOL

Great work on that base. Tons of work.

It could be?

Thanks, I'm just glad that's one project off list and it provides mobility.

For sure!

Here are all three with the matching bases and casters. The short Lista didn't have the skids like the tall ones so it sits in the frame. Oh well?

When I refinish the cabinets, I'll probably remove the skids. Lista is bolted, Vidmar is spot welded.

I had a flat on the trailer so I got a chance to use the new HF tire changer. Worked great but I'd rather have the Coats tire machine I used as a teenager at our Texaco station.

I was also tired of the old hard to turn tongue jack, so I brought a new one and installed it. So much nicer!!!

 

[shortykorte]

The three pressing projects I have are to get the motorcycle running right, the new pad for the MaxJax and the blown head gasket/head on the Tahoe. Well the bike spent the week with the professional where he had to clean out the ethynol junk out of all six carbs. He took before and after pixs of the bowls and they were nasty. After riding the bike back home, I sure miss riding her. (Tampa. Riding the bike!)

 

[shortykorte]

Bike purring like a kitten, check. The other two, well the ADD kicked in so I worked on different projects.

Since I'm not going to use the "office" area as an office area, I've decided to use it as the project storage and tool room. Out with the tall gray lockers, in with the tool cabinets. The gray lockers made the room fill really small, so I think I will like the new arrangement better.

Here's a 2 yr. time lapse of the office. #1-newly painted office. #-office set up as the office, #3-set up with work bench, lockers and storage counter and finally #4-work bench, tool cabinets and storage counter.

 

[shortykorte]

So where did the gray lockers go? They went out into the garage area along side the other two. Because these are 18" deep, they don't project out from the wall as much as the 28" deep tool cabinets. The lockers depth also match the tool boxes better.

 

[shortykorte]

Hopefully, tomorrow I will layout and possibly cut the hole in prep for the new thicker lift pad. I also have some old rebar I need to dig out, cut and bend.

I'm liking the symmetry of all the cabinets lined up. [emoji106] The entire area is spacing up nicely. [emoji482]

Sounds like you have a sizable project ahead of you setting your hoist
I can feel your pain

Totally agree with Gerard, the bank of lockers look really good Shorty.

 

[BuickFarmer]

The bases look great on the listas. Isn't moving lockers fun.

 

[1/2 Cup]

All the best with cutting out the concrete as it can be a fair challenge Shorty.

As Gerard said great symmetry with your lockers, I like it. Neat.

I don't think Tampa's looking...., but you had me laughing.

A long way away.

Tampa doesn't come out of the Free Parking section very often. LOL

 

[shortykorte]

Thanks everyone. I'm learning from the best which is all of you!

 

[NedNorton]

WTF? Measuring the heights of the tall Lista and the Stanley, they turn out to be about 3/8' difference in height. The "feet" on the Lista is a little taller.

Oh welcome to Garage Journal where you will be shown wonderful tools and things you can't live with (the tool cabinets in this case). Oh, they don't match? Well they have to match or you will get your GJ man card suspended. ****, can't have that!

It's a sickness.

This project is looking great. You are getting me motivated to break out the welder. :thumb:


Cheers,
Chris

 

[shortykorte]

A welder does make life better.

I'm glad we all motivate each other.

To layout the cut lines for the lift pad, I needed to move a upper kitchen cabinet that was in the way. I decided to hang the cabinet above the woodworking bench but I had to move this stuff that was haphazardly placed on the pegboard.

Here is the upper in place. I don't think this is going to work, dagnabit. I'm thinking about cutting the bottom off. What's wrong with one more project right?

 

[shortykorte]

While cleaning the bench off so I could get organized, the little GJ dude that sits on your shoulders yells out, "Hey you can't have a gap at the back of the bench like that!!!"

So I had a board that came with the table I converted into this work bench and used it as a back splash. Then the little dude yell, "Look at the sag in the bench top" I have to admit, two 2x4 spanning 12 feet isn't the best design so I put in a center support leg at the back of the bench and wah-la!

Last picture is putting stuff back on the peg board in groups. Its a relief this chore I mean, project is behind me since I've been putting it off.

Now, do I build the wooden shoe cabinet for the misses or cut the hole for the lift? Decisions, Decisions.

 

[1/2 Cup]

Well done shorty I need to take a lesson from you on your pegboard organisation.

 

[xtremek]

Don't just love/hate that little GJ guy? Nice job.

 

[shortykorte]

Thanks fellas! I'm trying to keep up.

For the pegboard org I just made a list of groups; marking, measuring, cutting, screwing (for Tampa), leveling, chiseling, gripping and beating (again for Tampa). Made sorting the tools a lot easier.

 

[shortykorte]

Not much to report since I've been busy with interruptions. I did get the power cord install on the battery charger (for order picker) and the Anderson 350 connectors swapped for the 175. Unfortunately, there is 15-20 feet between the charger and the order picker.

Plugging in the charger and checking the output, I got nothing. Not being a battery charger guru, I'm hoping that hooking it up to the battery pack will be the cure. Being that it is an untested surplus charger, my luck won't be that good.

 

[shortykorte]

One of the interruptions was caused by a visit by Mr. ADD, his brother Dr. OCD and his other brother, GJ. I have a bunch of drywall and deck screws in various brown bags and boxes. Seeing what Moparfreak did with his Plano storage box rack, I decided to do something similar. Since the HF tote worked for my rivet supplies, I repeated it for the screws. Now everything is in one place and portable. Half step forward.

 

[shortykorte]

Here's another project which I wish I had done before now. After considerable planning and engineering, I fabbed up this outlet strip for the welding/work table. Five zip ties later, BAM! I have power for hand grinders and saws.

 

[shortykorte]

…and another distraction is the bosses parking spot. After installing the closet and shoe rack, we ended up with the temp closet in the garage. The garage has poorly ulitized shelving and seeing shelving that NedNorton installed, the mind has been wandering. These are before pictures. So far, I've able to remove one of the grey shelves by consolidating. More to come but after I cut the hole for the lift and get the battery pack charged for the order picker and…and...

 

[BuickFarmer]

enough organizing, you need to get back to cutting that hold for the lift. Like that outlet strip.

 

[taumac]

I somehow missed some recent post. I really happy to see others having issues with Mr ADD, Mr OCD and Mr GJ. LOL, I have issues with those guys also but I do have Mr Murphy at my house also. All these guys cause havoc in my place so happy at times to send them your way. Sadly, in their absence I havnt had the time to get anything done in my place. Hopefully, this weekend I can get something done.

PS, In none of your posts have I seen a paint brush. LOL

 

[BBChevro]

I seemed to have missed the updates too, good to see stuff happening - but where's the hole for the lift.

 

[NewShockerGuy]

Here are more pictures of the place. This was going to be a used car lot and the owner had his loft upstairs. This is the office, the bathroom and the area where they detailed the cars. Please note how low the ceiling is in the orange area.

You wouldn't by chance of an exterior shot of that garage door with all the windows? I've never seen anything like that and it looks quite cool..

I think you have just given me an idea for my welding table shorty.

You will actually be surprised at what the garage door. The guy drilled 3" holes in each faux raised panel and silicone in 3" white plastic end caps like you find with shipping tubes. That picture must of been taken in the morning since that is the east wall. The guy was super creative with dumpster found stuff.

 

[shortykorte]

I little preview of what I've been dealing with. Stay tune for what NOT to do in your garage.

 

[BBChevro]

Ouch!, that looks nasty Shorty.

OK, I'm listening.....story?

 

[taumac]

Does this story start with "Hold my beer" or where you playing with one of the Fab Four?
