    DIY/Wood Car Stands(Cribbing)...Let's see them!

    Figured better to bump this up than start a new thread. This is a follow-up to this thread: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=422049 I ended up with a pair of these, from the same guy I bought the lift from...

    Using a high position screw jack stand to lift wheels off 4-post lift

    Large 20+ gallon oil change canisters for use with a lift

    Awesome, thanks for the feedback, the HF unit it is & good advice on the ball valve on the end. I think the much more expensive unit at my friends shop came like that.

    Large 20+ gallon oil change canisters for use with a lift

    Long time lurker, might be my first thread. I searched & searched, couldn't find a thread on these products, which seems odd so I'm guessing I'm doing a bad job searching. I'm looking for input on these devices: Low end...

    Need some help picking out a workbench

    That will be the next one, the spot I posted above is going to be temporary. Using some leftover shelving parts, I found Lowes, HD, and Sams all sell individual pieces to the gorilla racks I already have. Sams and HD did not have a "ship to store" option and wanted to tack on $250 - $300...

    2 post lift in 30x40x10ft sides

    My ceiling is 10' 6" and I'm installing a two post lift by cutting two holes in the ceiling sheet-rock. The posts will go into the attic with the cross bar going over the base of the joists. The primary car I work on is a Porsche 928, if my calculations are correct I'll be able to stand under...

    Need some help picking out a workbench

    Maybe not for the bench, but I need a lot of shelving in my other garage, the search is on!! That's what I did at my last place. I have a 10' section of counter top in storage that would be really nice. For this project I'm in a huge time crunch. I just want to open the box and assemble. I...

    Need some help picking out a workbench

    Wow - that opened up a whole new world of search options. Thank you! Well, I'm an idiot, in my other garage are two of these units (I installed them): http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202251082/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053#.USE7rmdOk4k The main reason why I liked that setup is...

    Need some help picking out a workbench

    Pardon the mess, I'm in the very early stages of getting my new garage figured out. I just purchased the 6' stainless toolbox / bench from Sam's club - $399. Assembly was fun, great box for the money. Here is what I'm thinking. I want this wall to be a workbench on the left with the...
