Except my wife seems to think she needs a space in the garage for her car lol! All good tho, small sacrifice 😉

lol, just like my last shop! This was the biggest I could afford. I have a 28x36 garage too tho👍

Too much stuff! Tools, 4 cars and 4 bikes! Oh yeah, then there’s a bathroom, a bar, and a lounge area!

So after being “shopless” for 11 years, I finally pulled the trigger on a new one. 32x48x14, shell and floor just finished a couple weeks ago. Now the rest is up to me to finish interior and install doors.

I once bought a Chicom Porter Cable 5 hp 2 stage. Was about 20cfm @ 90. All was good until I needed parts. They were non existent. So I sold the Porter and bought a dead Ingersoll Rand for $150. T-30, 5 hp, 2 stage, 80 gallon. Around 17 cfm @ 175. I sold the 3 phase motor for $200, bought a...

Thanks, hand is good , have to do some flex exercise occasionally to stretch the now shorter tendon. Actually turned out better than doc expected:)

All done with new top and side boxes. Yes Snap-on hates me 😉

Bottom box is painted Kirker Viper Red urethane, the KR-290 missing the drawers is Rust-o-Leum Cherry red gloss (waiting on more paint for rest of drawers) Top is US-General red. Overall not a bad color match!

So I’ve been looking for a KR690/691 top chest for several years. Impossible to find by itself near me , the ones I found for sale all come with the bottom box. So I bit the bullet and bought a Harbor Freight 72” top and added another KR 290 to my bottom stack. Hangs off the back about an inch...

So 5 years and 2 out of state moves later, I finally am getting around to restoring and hanging the other KR-290. I gave up on finding a KR-690/691 Top box and decided to get a U.S. general 72” top box. I need the extra length of 2 KR-290’s to get me to 82” on the bottom. Unfortunately I found...

Never mind, I went in a different direction

I just bought a 72” us general top box on clearance. A few weeks back there was a 30% off ( 40% if inside track club) on clearance items plus another 10% off first HF Credit card purchase. Best part no exceptions and 6 mos interest free. Watch for these sales. Also sometimes they will send out...

So I’m finally getting around to cleaning and painting the KR-290 I had stashed to put on the end of my KR660B. During the tear-down I noticed that this one has friction slides 🤬while the KR-290 on the other end of my 660 box is full ball bearing. Is there a manufacture date to look for if you...

Looking for a KR 690/691 top chest . Must be complete and at least restorable. I live in Pacific Northwest so shipping is likely cost prohibitive unless some type of deal (like using fastenal) to offset costs can be made. No locks/no keys ok. Missing or bad slides ok.
