Mike, Thanks for sharing the photos. Some very amazing scenery there! I would love to explore those ghost towns and trails!

Thanks for the reply Mike. Do you recall offhand which of the Continental tires it was that you put in there? I have been looking at them, and there does seem to be quite a selection to choose from. As always, keep up the inspiring work!

Mike, I just finished reading your shop build thread and the shop projects 2.0. Your attention to detail and meticulous work are an inspiration. I have been a tool & die maker since the early 80s, and I find your work a joy to encounter. I do have a question for you. Awhile ago you mentioned...

I used the garage journal app independently of Tapatalk. This no longer seems to work. Is that something that is not coming back?

Nice setup! Might have to do something similar for my newly acquired drill press.

I have the Sioux angle grinder and the straight die grinder, and have had great results with both. I am a machinist by trade, and have used them a lot. Don’t have any complaints.

You can also get what’s called a thread file. They come in standard and metric thread pitches. A problem you may run into is that the chrome plating may make the threads kind of hard. Take your time and be careful.

That third hand is awesome! And I love that little south bend lathe. Could you share some details on the third hand?

Looks like you are making good progress so far! Life can get in the way of the best of plans, just keep chugging along and you will get there!

Here are some shots of a cart I just finished with some drawers. I hope that you guys like it. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Re: Plate Roller Build Yeah, it kind of looks like “small” is a relative term!

Subscribed! Looks like an awesome project and looking forward to the progress!

Looking good! I like the work with the sawsall. Probably a lot easier getting that through there than trying to get all the way around it with a cut off wheel

Haven’t tried those, are they similar to the smaller ones for the air grinders?
