    Wagon Build Question

    Thanks for the suggestions guys! Currently we have one of those harbor freight wagons, and it isn't working out. Not the right dimensions, so this thing needs to be custom made. Perhaps I'll modify the one we have, but I'm really "steering" toward the front pivot casters, and rear fixed...

    Wagon Build Question

    For all of you gurus out there. I'm about to start a wagon build. This will need to be fairly robust, as it will haul around a pretty good sound system. I'll probably frame it out of 2" square, and put expanded metal in the floor/side walls. I'm guessing about 2.5' by 4' or so. All loaded...

    Do I need these rafter supports that are at an angle?

    I don't know the correct answer here, and most likely adding the bracing won't hurt. But let's not spread false truths that more = better. There is a point of diminishing returns, and after that point more just equals more weight, which is more weight that the very structure you are trying to...

    Thinking about a power hack saw

    Why not get a dry cut chop saw? That's what I have. Some of the better ones have chip collection pans under them and do a great job of collecting MOST of the chips. No dust or sparks to contend with, and the blades last a LONG time if you take care of them. I have a cheaper evolution 14...

    Have You NEVER Parked a Vehicle in a Garage?

    It's a good idea, but unfortunately the STUPID HOA won't allow such modifications. But not to worry. One day soon we'll be selling and moving to where no one will tell us what we can and can't do on our own property. Gonna have a garage big enough for both vehicles, and a BIG workshop out...

    Have You NEVER Parked a Vehicle in a Garage?

    wife parks inside. My problem is that I have a 2015 GMC Sierra extended cab. Nothing fancy, typical four door pickup. Stupid builders (house is FIVE years old) built the garage 19 feet deep. Good luck getting a full sized pickup with more than two doors in there. I can pull in for bad...
