It may be hard now, but in the end once you reach your goals, you will look back and be glad you made this decision. I am also a huge Dave Ramsey fan. Live like no one else, so later you can live like no one else. I also invest in rentals. If you aren't aware of it, please check out...

I like the axes - they look great!!

I think we are a lot alike. I also get into the analysis paralysis and tend to get frustrated with problems that I am a lot smart than. Its encouraging to read this thread and see all the progress you are making. Great job!!!

I would paint the garage door to match the walls. That will keep the lines of your garage.

Consider what in the garage you are trying to protect to develop the plan. If you are worried about big items (motorcycles, lawn mowers, UTV's), you need to padlock the doors. If you are worried about smaller stuff like tools, welders, etc, you need to go a lot further in trying to keep someone...

Appreciate the info. Over-analyzing last night, I found a new in the box Hobart 190 for $500. I had decided to cancel my order and buy it. This morning I got the email from Eastwood confirming that it shipped. So I will be trying it out. I am not a welder, and my need is to weld patch panels...

Thank you. I appreciate the intelligent response and useful information. This is what I was looking for to help me make my decision. I read the consumables are easy to get, but Eastwood is notorious for poor customer service, so in the event of an issue with the welder I knew I would largely...

Why do you say they are a joke? I mean, be specific about what you didn't like about it? A friend of mine has a fab shop, and he has 3 of these. One is 8 years old, and the two others are about a year old. He and his guys love them. Never had a problem. He estimates he has put 50-60 lbs of wire...

Eastwood has their branded welders on sale. The best deal IMO is the Mig 135 for $199. These welders get really good reviews. I just pulled the trigger on a 135. http://www.eastwood.com/mig-welder-110vac-135a-output.html

Thanks. Just made a purchase.

Mark, Thank you for your hospitality Friday with my pop-in with my son and father-in-law. I truly appreciate the time you took to show us around and answer all the questions we had.Your quality of work is truly impressive, and I am so happy to see your shop in person!

You should start facilitating a Saturday morning in-store clinic on how to find penny items. Think they would kick you out?

Thanks for all the replies. I just looked at the parking lot sale paper for next weekend and the 20T press will be on sale for $159. I wonder if I can get that price tomorrow plus a 20% coupon.

So I have needed a shop press twice in the last 2 years, presently being the second time to press in a wheel bearing in my daughter's Altima. So I am considering a Harbor Freight shop press instead of paying someone, but don't want to buy it and it collect dust in the corner. So how often do you...
