    animals in the shop

    Well, except the mice, which the cat's keep at bay, I only see the normal things here like free range chickens, deer, bear and such. Cliff Ramsdell

    My Vise-Grips are MIA

    This post had me go back to my garage and search for my missing vice grips. These were a nice older pair, bought them back in November of 1975, (got my license, drove my car to school, popped a wheel cylinder and clamped the rear hose shut with them) kinda sentimental and all. So........using...

    A 12 year-old's dream

    Oh man, I love the sunbeam, had a Tiger in the early '80's. The Pinto is a nice clean car, good looking. Love the story about the shop. Too many family things get sold today because no one cares so it's nice to see a story about someone who still dose. Cliff Ramsdell

    Who can ID these Craftsman wrench holders?

    Mickey, I should have been a little clearer, I know that they are wrench holders and figured the year to be around the early 60's because of the 19/32 & 25/32 wrench slot. I have some of the correct wrenches to fill the slots which is why he gave them to me. Thanks, Cliff Ramsdell

    Who can ID these Craftsman wrench holders?

    Hi all, I got these from a friend at work. He got them at a yard sale. The small one looks like it's for an open and box end wrench set and the other for a combination wrench set. All the lettering is silk screen so let me know what you thin please. Looking to find out what year and anything...

    Adding on for more shop space

    They got it ready to back fill and pour the floor. Since doing the floor now would include cutting the original foundation so the floors would be the same height it was supposed to be done once the walls were framed and the roof was on, since it can rain and it would all go into the existing...

    Adding on for more shop space

    I guess I should update that stuff, Huh? Located in Windsor Locks, CT. Not bad but need heat in the winter if you want to do anything in the shop, kinda like A/C down there. I lived in your neck of the woods for a while, you can add more layers when it gets cold outside but people don't care...

    Adding on for more shop space

    When we bought the house we knew we would be adding on so at the time we finished off the garage with power, insulation and sheet rock we also framed out and installed a header for a 7 x 9 opening in the back wall so when it was time to remove the wall it was just a matter of pulling down the...

    Adding on for more shop space

    Hi all, We had decided to add onto the existing 24 x 24 garage with an additional 22 x 16 area. The old garage was getting pretty tight with my transmission Overhaul area and working on the Model A so it was time to go out some. I didn't want to kill off my back yard view so an area that was...

    NEW build 36 x 50 garage (hot rod shop)

    Killer building. My wife says that's what we need and you can't get a better endorsement than that. On a side note, and I hate to ask so I guess I shouldn't, did you start with a projected budget cost and how's that holding up for you, any cost over runs besides the dump truck and what was your...
