Almost time to start work again. :)

Garage "progress" has been on hold; rebuilding a motorcycle for a friend and playing in a bobcat. I wanted to have a retaining wall built on one side of my driveway and learned just how expensive things can get! Depending on materials, it was $18-$32 / sq. ft. and that didn't include any...

Oilless = poo.

I'm not going to go all "Doom and Gloom" on you - I like what you've done with the space. I do like Evolvo's suggestion of a portable workstand / vice / whatnot - that's brilliant as it should be pretty strong anchored in the floor. I have an idea - take the pipe you cut off and find another...
