Now there’s a group of people I would love to meet.
What did you do "IN" your garage today?

Ditto!

Pre Smog; I replaced the spark plugs and wires in the 95 bird. I think all were factory - only a bit over 50K on them, but they are 26 years old, adn its been getting terrible mileage.

Tested the new 4’ LED lights before installing- these have a 3-position switch that lets you change the color of light: 3000, 4000 or 5000. They work great, and the differences in colors are quite noticeable. I might have to order some more of these!

Moved some more stuff around and put more things on the new rolling shelves.

But did you label things?... If you move things... things need new labels...

No labels yet. Still in the "just move things around to make room for the shelves" stage. Next is insatlling the four new HF bicycle hoists...

Fixed a slow leak on the air piping. One of the threaded unions was not tight enough.

Cut the first stair tread to finish size. Routed the bottom to clear the welds. Cut the anchor slot in the back edge. Tried to ease the front edge. Exploded the router bit.
After I got a new bit, tried to sand the tread. The hook pad on the sander STB. Ground it off. Glued a new one on. No sander till tomorrow. Took in a few Crapazon packages. Put the contents away. Labeled a new bin for ANC supplies. Drilled some holes in the stairs. Tried to drill the tread using a vix bit. It crumbled. Marked the tread and drilled it off the stairs. Took the Dingo out. Brought it back. Moved the metal lathe and shear, brake, roll. Put the new trash can in it's new home. Gained almost 2' of walking clearance around the bench grinder.

I decided to hang all the clamps on a section of wall. I finally got into the garage and built some test brackets. Made some modifications to my design.

Bulky waste PU prep for next Friday, I had to do the worst of the heavy lifting before my last eye surgery on Tuesday, as I'm allowed NO heavy lifting or even bending over to pick up a tissue for a couple of weeks after... I can squat as long s the head is elevated. Also removed the kitchen AC for the winter; packed it in its box and back in the shed loft. I'm SO glad a I setup a hoist for heavy/bulky loads for the loft...

Looked for places to put my tools from the pawn shop yesterday…. They are still in the box cause I’m out of room everywhere 
. I really gotta organize the basement then add another toolbox to the fleet.

A solution I have been using... is simply create a new Tool storage location. The new location would have to be in a different room/building.Looked for places to put my tools from the pawn shop yesterday…. They are still in the box cause I’m out of room everywhere
1. Garage (main tool depot)
2. Big shed
3. 3D Printer Room (way too many tools in there right now)
4. Spare room (All my Klein Tools)
5. Kitchen drawer
6. Master bedroom suite (go bag... )
7. Trunk of car I barely use

Part in the garage, part in the house...
Started designing a new enclosure for a CNC machine that will be living in my shop for a while.
I'm going to try to weld up a frame to keep the machine as close to the ground as possible. Current tentative enclosure size is 66x46x42".
This should still keep the top low enough that I can mount my laser and 3d printer to the top of it. Then all my robots will be in one tidy place instead of strung out over the whole shop.
I need to go get some 1" angle and start fabricating.

I can unequivically say Pine's garage is at the same time amazing and overwhelming.
I don't mean that in a bad way, either.

It's gotten MORE labelled and organized as projects have been completed and new tools were installed.
I'm currently in a mode of "disposing" of projects I will never get to... making more room for me and my followers.

Guys, most of his "followers" are the local deer, black snakes, raptors and other cool critters I don't have enough of here in Denville...

Replaced a USMC emblem sticker after the power washer removed the old one. While I was at it, replaced my faded IAFF sticker.

Slapped up a 24" magnetic tool bar by my lathe. Right now it's just mounted to the underside of a desktop that's leaning against the wall waiting to be installed on the lathe stand when I refurb it (someday...).
Good thing I grabbed two tool bars the other day, this one is full already!

Got the driveline in this chopper project that has been sitting for 20 years.
Very nice. But what's the rush......

Just finished cleaning the chimney, sealing the block of the chimney and found a hornets nest that needed a couple doses of Sevin Dust.
That cool ride will qualify as a 'classic' when you roll it off the lift.Got the driveline in this chopper project that has been sitting for 20 years.

Got out the epoxy wood filler and ladder to repair the latest round of woodpecker holes on the chimney trim boards. Not sure why they are so partial to that area. Thinking about replacing with pvc trim or cover with aluminum trim. Dang woodpeckers!!!

You've got bugs in that trim. Get rid of the bugs and the birds leave.
