    Trailer build tilt deck car hauler

    Great build log. thanks for sharing. If this was asked, apologies, but all in, how much money do you think you actually saved doing all of this yourself? I know for some that's not the point, but it is a strong consideration for most who could take from your experience and decide if it's a...

    1935 Gas Station Resurrection

    Such an awesome thread. It's the only one I'm currently subbed to. I was jones-ing after the Willy Cement House thread went cold. I really wish more folks, even those with deep pockets, took more time to consider re-purposing spaces instead of wiping them out. Our area in Northern Virginia...

    1935 Gas Station Resurrection

    This is so much Midwest silliness. More reasons for me to move even further away from the snowbelt. LOL

    1935 Gas Station Resurrection

    If you already mentioned this, sorry for the repeat. I just went through the entire thread, but skipped reading much of it. The pictures speak for themselves! I think color matching the building brick to a paint for the back wall on the right and then some kind of faux mural or signage...

    40x60x16 Build - Started 4/23/15

    Your build thread has been very informative and will likely serve as a template for my shop build next spring. So now that you seem to be 95% done, Did you keep close track of what you ended up spending compared to your estimated cost before hand? Was it close? Do you mind sharing those numbers?

    Cut a Trash Cymbal with the new Torchmate 4800

    Nice work. Now you have to post a vid of the before and after of the sound difference because this is the first I've seen of this kinda thing. I might be late to the party, but I'm always looking for cool and interesting ways to meet new people through the use of my Plasma Table. Who...

    Another 4x8 Precision Plasma CNC Build

    MWill, good progress. It's probably too late for the extensions on your rails. It's never too late to add a magnetic torch attachment. It's pretty much a must-have IMO. Just changing consumables is a reason enough. Also, safety measures are pretty important. Also, get DropBox or use some...

    Another 4x8 Precision Plasma CNC Build

    Galvanized, sure, or plexi, thin plywood, luan, hardboard, or even cheap paneling like you'd see in 1980's basements, anything is better than soft and mold prone drywall. I had a similar idea about the rollers, anything thicker than 14g 4x8 sheets will be damn near impossible to manage solo...

    30x30 2 story garage and connector

    Awesome Thread. I was kinda looking forward to seeing the Viking kitchen finished but no pics? Even a few wives might take notice here if some other builders promised to put in some high-grade food makers along with the rest of the important stuff.

    Cabinet for Small Parts Storage Cases

    So if this has already been mentioned please tell me... I was showing my wife the pictures of the OP and mentioned how the slides are pretty slick for keeping the storage cases accessible without needing a separate surface to set them on and she said without missing a beat, "Why not just have a...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Bought a $99 HF "Deep Cut" portable band saw and then made this table-top holder using 11ga/.125/1/8in steel.
