Be bold and do what you like!!! I did cherry red on the wainscoating and a silverish grey on the upper walls. The ceiling is a very dark grey-charcoal color. The other wall is getting the galvanized tin. Sent from my LG-M327 using The Garage Journal mobile app

Yes a V4 Wisconsin. It is a big machine for the age. I bought it from a neighbor who's dad bought it brand new. Got a box of manuals and parts books. It was either rent a machine a few times to do some yard work or buy one. Sent from my LG-M327 using The Garage Journal mobile app

I have a L775 with a Wisconsin 4 cylinder gas engine. Very handy machines for sure. A diesel would be a great upgrade for sure. Keep posting the progress!!!! Sent from my LG-M327 using The Garage Journal mobile app

I picked up a few of these old barn lights awhile back. Mine were meant to mount directly on a box. I had other plans for them. Picked up some aluminum conduit and various fittings. Bent up the conduit the shape I wanted. Put it all together and mounted them above where my work bench will be...

I built one for my Matco 5s box years ago. Used some square tubing I had on hand for the side frame work. Tied them together with some angle iron I had on hand also. Bought some sheet metal to skin it with. Had it sandblasted and painted red to match my box. I built it taller than what Matco...

When I wired my garage, I put a outlet about every 4 feet. Plus 3 50A outlets for my welder. Its nice having a welder outlet at every corner. I also put a couple outlets up high on the wall that are switched. So I can plug in lighted signs or whatever else. Where my work bench went I put round...

Swag off-road makes a really nice table kit for porta bands. I bought on years ago and havn't regretted it once. Sent from my LG-M327 using The Garage Journal mobile app

There is so many posts about lights on here I think you could search until you found the end of the internet!!! With that being said, so many have put so much thought into fixture placement. Is there such thing as to much light in the workshop? I mean, have any of you removed lights or pulled...

Re: Everyone has an angle! Show us your angle wrenches. It looks like Tekton now has the same 30/60 angle as Snap On wrenches. Sent from my LG-M327 using The Garage Journal mobile app

I have that same vise!!! It is a monster for sure!!
