Time for a little vehicle maintenance! Untitled by Alan.Marchman, on Flickr

Hey guys. It's been a little while since my last update and thought I would share the chaos that has kept me from updating! Untitled by Alan.Marchman, on Flickr Good news is the shoulder has been doing much better and we are on the tail end of wrapping up the bathroom so I should be back...

Thanks for the idea and kind words, Bret. I had entertained the idea of coming up with sort of an adpater plate like you mentioned. For now, though, I managed to get two bolts through, so my plan is to see how it goes. If it stays stable enough for what I need, I may just leave it. Sometimes...

Hey guys. Just wanted to pop in and say for the lack of updates. Work has been very busy, then I took a week off to do some riding in Colorado before the melt and wound up separating my shoulder :dunno: On top of all that I am in the middle of a master bath reno:Toilet: Soooo, suffice it to...

Thanks aps63, it is actually a blend of some ideas I picked up from this very site. I mounted the PVC to a 1x4 poplar board, painted to match the walls (Behr Silverscreen), then countersunk 4 rare earth magents into the back of the board which holds it up against the wall of the cabinet. Each...

Thanks for input, H. I definitely still have some thinking to do on this one. Being a multi-use space, I'm not sold on bolting it down, plus I likely won't be doing any heavy (enough) work on it to warrant it anyways. Hmm...

Thanks, tx. Regarding the filter, I suppose it could be mounted directily to the output manifold on a smaller compressor, but I did not want to go that route for a couple of reasons. One is vibration generated from the compressor (which is also why I prefer to run a flexible line into the...

Re: Progress Garage - Air Filter I finally got around to finishing up getting the air filter into working order. Untitled by Alan.Marchman, on Flickr Untitled by Alan.Marchman, on Flickr Untitled by Alan.Marchman, on Flickr Untitled by Alan.Marchman, on Flickr It's functional, but I'm...

Progress Garage - Bench Vise Stand As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had a Craftsman bench grinder/vise stand on order. It came in about a weak ago and I finally found a few minutes to take some photos. Untitled by Alan.Marchman, on Flickr ...and the fantastic packing job courtesy of...

The toolbox looks good and I like that its contents look equally cared for. Nice work:thumbup: Thanks, dubber. It was actually a very rewarding process!

Quick update. I finally decided to get my mower clipping bag up and out of the way. I mulch 90% of the time, so it was just taking up space on the floor. I mounted a couple of hooks to the wall above the garage door tracks to store it. Untitled by Alan.Marchman, on Flickr Untitled by...

It's not a coiled hose, but I have been impressed with my Gilmour Flexogen hose. Never kinks. I got the 1/2" diameter and it's much easier to handle in my opinion. That being said, I can definitely see how a coiled hose would be ideal for your situation (stored in and used out of the garage)...

Thanks for sharing the info H. I'd like to see some shots of your kits. I find these kinds of things pretty cool. I noticed all the pieces and parts in the kits seemed to originate from different parts of the country, which I thought was interesting. I also thought "Pin, Safety, Curved" was...

Hey guys. Quick little update. I added a quick rendering of my idea for the garage layout to Post 1 I'm working on some more perspectives and details, I'll get those up as I finish them.

I love how your attention to detail (OCD-ness) has increased almost exponentially with post count! I think you are on the right track (no pun intended) - keep up the good work!
