Metal pegboard with some simple wood frames I do like having the PPE easy to access so I actually use it

I thought it was strange Levi left TRC.

I really enjoy your garage journal. I would say my interests are aligned very well with yours - lawn mowers, stihl, detailing, garage hang, OG, and cars. It is interesting the different types of vehicles there are for different regions. I particularly would like to have a simple little pickup...

Picked these up over the years - 1963, 1976, and 1979. Sanded the paint off the raised logo, probably not a good idea but does look cool.

Some more photos and my helpers. Also found a huge rattler out in west Texas.

Completed some projects around the house adjacent to the garage. Some before and after. I mixed all the concrete by hand trying to get some good workouts in. I would mix about 15 bags each round, splitting it up and put rebar dowels to tie each piece together. kinda found it fun and feel I am...

I have not done much in the garage until this past weekend. A couple weeks ago I went to a vendor market and saw some shelving units but they weren’t for sale. They did however tell me to call back and a couple weeks of being persistent they were able to get me two full shelves worth of parts...

Ended up getting frustrated with my husky floor cabinet being super flimsy and too small. I have always wanted a heavy duty cabinet and pulled the trigger on a Strong-Hold cabinet in white. This thing is heavy and huge 60x24x75.

Drove from Texas to Springfield Mo to the Grizzly store to pick up a wood turning lathe and 14 inch bandsaw. Also got a yellow lab and she is growing fast.

That’s a perfect size garage and nice start with the floors.

Made some wooden frames for things and painted my atomic clock green in honor of a famous garage journal garage. Also messed around with mounting my vise to the portable kreg table, seems sturdy enough for average tinkering but definitely not for beating on.

I had a problem with my Jeep tires poking out to much about half the tire, I also really liked the rims it had but decided to switch to a more stock rim. Bonus is my spare now matches. I still have to paint the hubs black and I have blue lug nuts on the way. Me and my buddy swapped the tires in...

I feel comfortable enough in the bike racks but I also don’t have real fancy cars so if something happened I wouldn’t loose any sleep.

They are from Amazon, the brand is Venzo, wall mount pedal hangers, they are pretty cool and so far have not had a problem. I was worried my bike would fall off and hit a car but they seem pretty stable so far.

My family knows my green toolbox as “the toolbox”. It was quite the chore to get it home but everything turned out great. It’s a extreme tools 72 inch and it is top notch. I also have a snap-on little toolbox and have been adding tools along the way.
