I got a bunch of rubbermaid totes that are about 24"x18"x18", they were on sale for $5 each at wal-mart. IMO keeping things visually organized really isn't the big deal, it is keeping parts from getting lost and keeping them clean until everything goes back together. Toss everything in totes...

Looks cool. On the angle why wouldn't you want to start cutting on one edge and just go across instead of starting in the middle and making 2 cuts?

Sorry for your loss, dogs are truly a blessing. We had an English Mastiff for 10 years and he was the same way.

Harbor Freight 60 gallon, 3.5hp air compressor, working great: pass Harbor Freight lead-in hoses, hose on retractable reel, dry rotting and leaking: fail

I just got a 50' self-retracting hose reel from harbor freight, its running $90 minus 20% off. It seems to be pretty decent quality in terms of a thick very flexible rubber hose and thick steel for the reel and mounting bracket. It is 3/8" hose with 3/8" fittings instead of the typical 1/4"...

Just another simple idea I came up with for wheels on a smaller table, found a pic of basically how it would work. Think of it like a wheelbarrow: 1. Build the table as normal, sitting on regular legs on the floor. 2. Take 2 regular casters without swivels or pivots and weld them with the...
