A little cutting & welding... Started with a pile of used horseshoes... a few hours later... a gift for my wife...

Glad to see you have made progress! Feels great, doesn't it?? So, what is the plan for the garage? Just storage? Man cave above garage? Do you work on cars or? GOD Bless!

Great Job. Paint will make it look that much better. I really like when someone uses the 'free' stuff they have. :)

I have a Lincoln (US Flag style helmet) and had a 'cheapy' before. The viewing screen being much larger and the extra light that allows for preparation prior to the arc is absolutely worth the extra money. I have become a much better welder simply because I can 'see' much better. Yes, buy...

Did some cutting and fabrication on a set of 2010 Chrysler Sebring seats I am putting in my 72 Charger. Need to get angle iron to build a bracket for mounting them in the car.

Not sure but you may be able to add garage tiles of some type on top of the exiting floor tiles. Might be an option instead of pulling up all the tiles and then having to deal with the floor glue or mastic or whatever they used on the concrete to secure the tiles.

I had the same problem so I found a used rolling toolbox on CL locally for $40 and made it into my rolling welding/tool/storage cart. This solved all the problems I had with the open shelving on the HF welding cart. I used the top of the HF welding cart as my 'tank stand' by welding it to the...

Yes, I went from a 110v (don't remember which one) to a 220v (Lincoln 180 Power Mig) and I could not be happier! Do you have a gas setup with your mig or just flux core?

I did OSB 4'x8' for the first section of the wall then sheetrocked above it to the ceiling height of 11'6". The OSB is good for protection against accidental damage and cuts down on repairs for the wall. We then painted the OSB with 2 coats of a dark red paint.

I struggle with the 'air nozzle' organization so today I put this on the wall and stained it the same color as the bench.

Today I cleaned up the bench area. Then I decided to detail the bench area and did a deep clean on the bench. Then I decided to stain the bench and cupboards with a dark walnut stain. The bench took three coats the the cupboards have two coats. We will see if I need to add another coat...

Spent a bit of time in the garage this weekend. The compressor is mounted to the floor, the Rapid Air kit is installed, lines ran, and working great. On top of that my wife surprised me with some wall decor and windows curtains she sewed up today! She is AMAZING!!

Thanks for all your help & advice. I have decided not to build a paint booth and utilize a true, actual paint booth one an hour from home for the restoration project.

That might be a bit too small. I bought some 2" PVC pipe and elbows a few nights ago. I am working on my design and will post some photos in the next few days. I have an old furnace squirrel fan that I plan to build a stand for to 'exhaust' the fumes through a filtered wood box. We'll see...

Great plan and project! I always enjoy seeing an old barn 'made new' and used again. Love the updates and photos!! GOD Bless!
