I did the second round of oil changes with my son yesterday. We did his first one in July. His favorite part was using the air impact gun to do a tire rotation. My favorite part was having him in the garage. He's 10 now, so hopefully he can be self reliant in the garage by the time he can drive.

Those look really good. What kind of wood did you use?

Yeah, I'm around the corner from that harbor freight. I'll have to keep an eye out for the Lancia.

I will have some questions in the future. I'm doing a lot of looking at the spaces and things I have right now. I know I can utilize my spaces better. We moved into this house about a year ago and I'm still trying to feel everything out. I do know I want to do some more outlets and better...

Just made it back in here. Those are his dressers and storage for his toys. He has Lego and matchbox cars and other various items in the box on the right and his clothes in the one on the left. His favorite band is the Beatles, so he's pretty awesome. My daughter had to have a chandelier in her...

Love the build. Great work with having to deal with an HOA. That is one thing I'm glad I don't have to deal with at the current house. I had one at my last two and they just drive me crazy. Looks like we probably go to the same hardware stores too.

I know exactly what you mean. I have always wanted a warehouse or something similar. Work moved me here, so we only had like a week to find a house. I'm happy with what we got, but would have liked a bigger garage. I guess maybe next time. At least this time I got a room in the basement as a...

Makes me jealous I couldn't find that house when we moved to Atlanta area last year. Love the house, and I love seeing the Nova at C&O.

Hi. I've been lurking on here for a while....years I think. I Just moved to the Atlanta area last June from Florida for work. It netted me a bigger garage, but still two car and a basement. About 1/3 of the lowest level is finished basement and the other 2/3 is the garage. I for half of the...

I love the tv stand. Here is my son's bedroom. He's 9 and loves it. We bought the boxes when my wife was pregnant with him. I'd love to take credit, but it was her idea.

I did check the jaws the other way today. You nailed it. It is a 4.5" jaw on it and you're right on about the weight. It is a beast. I'm just going to mount it and use it. I like the look it has.

Thanks guys. I think i'm just going to give it a good clean, maybe put some grease on the moving parts and use it as is. I do know that I need to get a better base on my bench to mount it down. Don't need that moving around while trying to use it. I'll also give it a quick measure on the width...

So, this is my first post. I've been looking for a good vise for a while now. I just couldn't see paying as much as they wanted for a new vise at the local big box hardware stores. Yesterday we were at some antique stores looking for some chairs when it hit me. I should be looking for some tools...
