    the Jeep Cave

    Looking good so far! I love the bike, hopefully we'll get to see more on that in the future. I'm curious as to the dimensions of your garage. The wife and I just moved and we are trying to figure out how to make a big Pontiac, little Beetle a motorcycle and tools/work area all fit in our...

    If either of them bail on the SO's, shoot me a PM; I'll take one.

    Motorcycle Garages Only

    Hello grandpa, Speed Triple checking in. My bike gets it's very own 'car port', I wish I could offer it a bit more, but that is what is available at the moment. I love old motorcycles but thought my first bike should be newer for the sake of being 'trouble free. If money and time become more...

    Why are Harbor Freight ratchets so good?

    I don't know -- I have their ratchets (the swivel style with the black/red handle) and three of their breaker bars and they impress the hell out of me. I plan on going back for a set of their traditional ratchets soon too. The breaker bars are the best to me, mostly because I've had so many...

    Fs: Fl80, sf80 & thlf72

    If these are all still available in two weeks I will be interested. These are a good deal though , so I don't see them lasting through the week.

    Lets see some pegboard set up

    I'm not much for peg board but Jack's garage makes me want to change my mind. :) I need to sort out tool storage still. I like having automotive tools in a box with a small tool cart to hold the 'currently in use' tools. For electrical/telecomm stuff I have a 'doctors bag' which usually stays...

    Snap-On handle retrograde mod

    That looks fantastic! Makes me want to pickup some Snap-On ratchets to modify. I love the classic Snap On hard handle... it astonishes me that they use anything but for their tools.

    My $20 prize (mistake?)

    Yea, I'm really happy with the find. I knew it'd be rough, but finding tool storage on the cheap is always good. Part of the fun will be restoring it though. What sort of paint do you guys recommend that would be durable for a toolbox? I'll be sure to post more here as I restore it.

    Version 0.01 - I have lights!

    Here are some bits for it I picked up at the junk yard on Monday... I found some pictures of the car itself on my portable drive. It is presently stored at my mom's house, but as soon as I can arrange to have it towed over to my place, I'll start the teardown and restore process. A...

    My $20 prize (mistake?)

    I picked up this dirt box for $20. It's rough, but will be entertaining to repair and will hold me over until I find a tool box I really like. Right now my tools are packed like a Cuban raft into a little tool cart. It is a major pain when frequently having to get tools for a project...

    Version 0.01 - I have lights!

    A little while back I posted about running some basic power to my garage for the sake of functionality until we're ready to install a full service and fully revamp the garage area. Well I'm happy to report that I'm all done and have my first set of lights installed. I plan to add another row of...

    Our 1891 Linden Lane Farm

    Very cool Spyder, I was wondering if you were ever going to post up about your very unique shop/property. I always thought it had charm from the pics in your various RX threads from days gone by. Are you planning to maintain the current entryway to the property and just modify it to provide...
