    What have you done with your interior garage walls?

    Mine has been lined with plywood and painted white. Then covered in Hot Wheels and other stuff so you don't even see the walls.

    Seems to me that it wouldn't spin at all and that you would just roll the hose up and hang it on the wheel. :dunno:

    Did you ever wonder....?

    Many people just don't use their garages. We have just gone through the whole house hunting thing and looked at many houses. Many had large empty garages. The property we ended up buying has a 40' x 20' garage and the sellers had their car parked out side. Buying and selling real estate over...

    I recently picked up this small rolling work table. I have found it invaluable at times. With us shifting into the new house in a couple of weeks I have been cleaning out all sorts of tools that I forgot I had. I found this plastic tool tray under one of the benches and with the help of a...

    What's on your walls? Neat storage ideas!

    I have been off work for a few weeks now recovering from a heart attack. Needed a project so I have been reorganising and painting some of my old cabinets. I have an old Hot Wheels stand that I picked up cheap when nobody else wanted it. I have cut the panels of it to make them into door...

    Show us Your Vintage Bench Grinders!!!!

    I have these two that belonged to my father. I have never used them but, would never sell them. I have seen them for sale at swap meets. Would have to be more of a novelty than anything these days.

    Ha, yes I remember that. That was the first time the car had ever been driven in public. My nephew was driving around everywhere at Kumeu and Magoo asked me to get him to pick you up for a ride. :3gears: Glad you enjoyed it.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Re: what did you do in your garage today? Cut some steel to make a stand for my bench saw. Then spent some time sorting out some more tools. Seems like everytime I find another box there are more tools. Going to have a look at a rolling toolbox/workbench in the morning.

    Show your new tool arrivals

    I have always had my tools in different tool boxes and drawers which made it awkward at times to find th right tool when I needed it. Recently my wife and I were out shopping and we called into an auto store to get some car wash and outside on display was a 42" tool cabinet reduced from $1200...
