It may not fully fit within the 90s retro off road vibe of your rig, but IMHO when it comes to brake lights, function is more valuable than form. I have seen quite a few of these lights recently on Jeeps, and it's a great utilization of surface area for that space. Might be beneficial...

I have a similar issue with the Honeydew foam. I have the dial cranked all the way down on my foam cannon and I still can't get it to be thicker. I think that I need to block off one of the air holes on the top of the foam cannon to see if that will help. If that doesn't work, then I think that...

I have a steel tubbed Jackson that I am super happy with. I stupidly didn't get the one with the solid tire, and I put a huge thorn through it literally the first time I used it. I replaced the whole front wheel with a Jackson Flat Free tire, and I love it now. I figure that I am going to use...

I dig it because you use all the Festool stuff the same way that I do. Question: Do you think that the cost of the MFT table is really worth it? Or, do you think that you could design a basic workbench / work surface which would work similarly for significantly less? I ask because I need a...

I recently switched to a barrel grip jigsaw, and I love it. To me, the most beneficial difference is the level of control. The D handle I feel is more controlled by your wrist, whereas the barrel grip is almost controlled by your entire arm. I made much smoother cuts and it was considerably...

I dig this because it's exactly my situation. I don't have space for a dedicated wood shop in my standard garage, and I can't afford to give up any of that space that I use for mechanic and detail work, so I needed something that was not only very clean, but something that works well with the...

Just saw that idea for the wood storage. That is incredible. Such a great idea. Also, just applying a coat of paint to things makes a huge difference. That heater looks fantastic now. I would continue that paint on the exhaust pipe coming off the heater all the way to the ceiling, that would...

So much work, but I am sure it will look awesome when it's finished. I wouldn't wish demoing that floor on anybody. Ugh. Good Luck!

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46) I recently converted to Festool, specifically the track saw, and I can honestly say that I haven't ever used anything that cut like that. I had to make a simple bed platform for our new bed and the cleanliness of the cuts was just incredible. I was...

Love that under-stair cavity for your air compressor. Great use of a normally wasted space.

Re: Rick's Audi Double https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002SPBXQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20 This is the product that I use for washing all of my towels. I have had really good luck with it removing polish residue, grease, and other contaminants from the towels. I do have to say however, that I make...

Rick's Audi Double When I need any MF to be particularly absorbent, I will simply get it wet and wring it out first. I will dry my car with two standard size towels that have been pre-soaked and then wrung out. The initial soaking relaxes all the fibers in the towel and brings them back to...

That 59' is fantastic.

Just EPIC Gregor. Really, really fantastic.

I just fall in love with the idea of crafting something every day, especially with that level of skill. It makes me just regret the daily slog at something lacking any semblance of meaning to everything you put out here. Living your passion is a real gift. There are a few guys on here like you...
