I'm planning on adding the Paulk Total Station to my shop!

I'll check out the Festool Owners Group forum for more information. The size of this is 3 by 6, so it is not over sized. I'm thinking it would be very useful for the miter saw and assembly table. Right now I use a mobile miter stand and fold up table. With the miter stand, you don't even...

I'm thinking about ordering the plans and building the Paulk Total Station. I think it will be good for me since I don't have a dedicated shop and I also do side jobs where this would be perfect for the site. My questions are, has anyone built one of these and how does it work for you? If you...

No. I keep the allen bolts.

Replaced the intake seals on my 96 Fatboy.

I hear you on the price of the containers. $60 to $80 for a container is way to much. I don't own anything Festool actually. I am changing the plans a little so I can use the Dewalt Tstak containers. Then for the clamps, I plan on modifying some clamps to work. The Festool clamps are around...

Purchased the plans for the MFTC Workbench and finally started to work on it. Built the top tonight. Plan on starting on the base this weekend.

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Installed new saddlebags on the Harley. (Yes I know I need to clean the garage!)

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Did all of the cutting and staining in the garage. Then installed these railings and iron balusters at someone's house.

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Upgraded the storage above my garage door. Needed more space. I have two HyLoft racks over the double door, but it is not enough. Replaced one of them with a rack that I built. Before and after pics.

I'm in a similar position where I have 6 bikes to deal with. So far I have built two double bike rack to keep them up and out of the way. They work well for me.

I don't think that's the case. He took the vises off of the bench himself. I think it's like the old cabinet makers vise where it uses the bench on the other side. Like the one in this link...

My brother picked two of these vises up years ago from a client that didn't want them anymore. He gave one of them to me today. It is cast iron with no markings on it at all. I'm thinking that they are old because the screws that were used to put the wood on the jaw were straight slots...

When I bought my new house, I purchased some Coleman Cabinets for storage in the garage. They look nice, but since I don't have a toolbox, I use the drawer bases for tool storage. They didn't hold up very well with the weight of the tools in them, plus they are too deep to keep the tools...

I bought some bins and built this cabinet to hang on the wall. The first picture is of it on the wall, the second picture is when I was building it and was trying out the shelves. (sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures!)
