What did you do "IN" your garage today?

Re: what did you do in your garage today?

That’s a post from 2011.

You are starting to scare me a little bit - how did you know that? It took me a few minutes to prove that you were right.

 

[kaymccampbell]

Effed with some broken tools. Recycled them, cause they were beyond reasonable repair. Installed a nice power strip on one bench. Ripped and chopped all my base cabinet door oak. Glued n clamped the panels.

I hate hose clamps, so I've been changing the few rubber hoses I have left to -AN hose and fittings. Last night I did the upper radiator hose.

I'll make sure it's leak free for a few drives and then do the lower hose.

I used the shrink clamps earlier.

That looks so nice, where did you get them?

 

[rburke65]

Put tools away from doing electrical work for my niece.

It took me more than a few minutes LOL In his quote, it didn’t show what the“Pink turd”was that he was going to put on the S-10 frame, so I had to go looking LOL It was a pink Corvette kit car.

That would’ve saved me a lot of time The worst part is I’ve used the little blue arrow before.

I just finished sanding and painting my cabinets. Now they all match, look good.

That is sweet! I did not realize there were AN adapters for tying into a traditional hose fitting. What brand are you using?

This was on my wish list for the Mustang and just may end up getting moved to the do list

Looked for my U-tube manometer. Didn't find it. I could have sworn it was in the cabinet where I store HVAC tools I seldom use.

Re: What did you do "IN" your garage today?

Got a day off from work, so spent it in the shop.

Finally got the reducer out of the side of the compressor tank. Now I can run a 1/2" hose to the regulator instead of choking down to 1/4".

I then spent the day building some drawers to mount in the metal working bench to hold tooling for the mill.

I have a coat of poly on the bottom of all the wood pieces now and will get the rest polied and installed later this weekend.

I plan on 3d printing some collet holders.

The best part is that I've had the drawer slides floating around the shop for 4 years and finally found a use for them.

Posted elsewhere but did this today. Finished up interior on my dad’s old box I fixed up.

The inside is/as rough as hell, I just sprayed it with bed liner. I expected it to be heavily textured but it wasn’t. It still looks better than before.

Before:





After:

 

[Deadsquiggles]

Moved all my batteries and battery chargers to a desk in the garage I don’t use to get them off my main workbench, and then took all my electric drills and impacts and put them in their own drawer of my main toolbox.

 

[Reversepolarity]

Visited with one of my uncles. He brought a pint of his homemade whiskey.

Shifted some mess around, said f it and went back inside. My l shoulder hurts a little because of getting my moderna shot yesterday. Luckily my wife who is allergic to near everything had no issues.

 

[ezriderga]

Cleaned and lubed my TX22 I purchased last year and finally got around to shooting this week. As a bonus, I bought 100 rounds of 9mm ammo for $40 the range had just got in.

 

[Jeff Ivers]

Sharpened drill bits after working with some bed frame material.

 

[kaymccampbell]

Sharpened my scraper. Scraped glue off door panel blanks. Tried to fix my wet grinder pump. Helped a friend ****** with a peg panel and a workmate kinda thing. Unwrapped n hung up my new levels.

 

[PhantomEB]

Getting rid of **** to start.

 

[TeenagerThatLikesFloorjac]

Lots of cleaning. Overspray from paint cans and accidentally making one of those long lights overhead fall... The next day I broke a tool and snapped a bolt. Not a good week.

 

[Jagmandave]

Painted a block, now it's cleaned and ready for assembly

 

[BlakeTheCarGuy]

The day before yesterday I had to cut the latch off the beetle to get it to open.

Then yesterday I installed the plastic glove box in the beetle and took the fiberglass/ paper one out.
Today I had to replace a vacuum line elbow on my Escape it cracked and was leaking.

Charged a few batteries....grabbed a stash of ven out of the freezer for the week....trying to figure out why I have 12 garbage bags of beer cans...cleared the trap line (mousetraps) 2 fresh pelts...drank one beer and stared at hot rods I miss them so much...cleaned up prepping for warmer weather monday...stared at the pile of parts not on the car yet because I'm to busy planning for the new garage build!

[shedfullatools]

Tapped a hole in my new grease gun and installed a Zerk fitting to store the hose and keep it from dripping. This and a Lumax Coupler are two mods that make a grease gun much less hateful to store and own. This gun actually already had the right size hole for an 1/8' NPT Tap already in it saving me from having to drill one

 

[brownsmustang]

Dug a hole for my sewer drains, installing plumbing for a bathroom before my concrete gets poured.

 

[rhythim]

Spent the day getting the '85 F-250 diesel ready for Spring property maintenance. Replaced the leaky p/s pump and hoses, changed the oil and fuel/air filters, installed a Racor 10 micron water separator and vacuumed out the interior.

It's ready to go pick up the first load of mulch.

Nailed up some gang boxes for outlets, didn’t feel like running wire though, and then ran a bunch of practice beads on some scrap metal for about 20 minutes.

 

[Dan in Pasadena]

Not a damn thing! We're watching our grand daughters ages 2-12 and 6-1/2 over night. Love them to pieces and they take up every second.

 

[kaymccampbell]

Wired up the new fish pump for the wet grinder. Dragged in the new smoker.

 

[ambenz]

Finished up my raised planter bed for this years garden and wheeled it out to it's final resting spot. Added some rock to cover the drain pipe and gonna wait for the rain to come and fill in the spots and settle the rock around the drain. I wanna see if this bed will hold all the pressure of rock and water before I add the dirt on top. If the bottom busts out, less mess to clean up and back to square one...but we think this will work.

Spent more time on making a rack for these cheap screwdrivers than they're worth:

 

[Kevkx125]

Mounted a manual air hose next to the garage door so I have access to air for my driveway.

 

[Outlawmws]

Nothing - 14 hour road trip...

Anything over ten hours straight and my right hip bugs me for days.

I don't know man......I've been using that set for 2 years straight now as my go-to and they are holding up well.

 

[Outlawmws]

Pulled a five foot mat of tree hair roots out of the sewer line. Told the wife to let me know the next time she decides to hack up a fur ball and flush it.

Yuck. You must be in pain.

5-1/2 hours up, 6 hours back (a little traffic and longer "construction" waits (they were clearing trees from the sides of mountain Highway - some burned from last year)

The gap was for lunch (Masked take out, and picnic at a park) loading, and a visit to an "antique"/junk shop. Picked up a 1957 lantern, a brass back packers stove, an old aluminum B&D drill adapter Jigsaw , and 7 aluminum Film canisters...

That gap saved me... As it was, I was on Tylenol for upper shoulder/neck "Knots" almost the whole drive... That and a hot shower after got it done. Just driving never used to faze me, but then, I drove a LOT... I've hardly driven at all in the past year... barely 2500, and 600 was yesterday... another 1100 for hunting last fall...
