    Installing a punching bag?

    One of the feature sof the mount that sold me, was its ability to swing out for use, and swing back to the wall when not in use. That way it only sticks out as far as the bag is wide

    Installing a punching bag?

    Need help with my current garage lighting

    Beer & Garage

    I grew up in my grandpas garage while he worked on cars and other misc wood/metal projects. He always drank PBR and to this day I do too. Ever since he passed as soon as I step foot in the garage to work on anything I crack one for him.
