Awesome she-shed... with the new trend of "minimalist" you could probably rent that place out as-is for some positive monthly cash flow. ha ha Josh B.

Here's a couple more. I found old authentic ship lanterns. They were complete with fuel containers and wicks. I converted them over to electric and added some cleats with rope to complete the look for the side lights. On the rear I made a goose-neck style lamp for about $25. On the front of the...

Well it's been over a year since I posted any updates... Once you get it complete enough to start packing it full of **** and using it the determination to make everything perfect really takes a nose dive. Anyways, I've done a good amount... but a little at a time. With my only free time on the...

I see this thread every couple months and it always ticks me off that I missed it by a few hours... now back at $184. Ughhh...

My wife hates this "deals" section... I need nothing, but i just come here and go crazy. I'm buying casters... I don't know why I need them, but I feel like I need them. ha ha Josh B.

That's an awesome piece! For me and i'm sure many others feel the same... I just love old work benches, you can only imagine how many hours of sweat, tears... and curse words were spent at that table. Enjoy it! Josh B.

I just picked up (4) solid wood doors on craigslist in the free section. They are obviously used and have hardware on them. I'll remove everything and sand them down. Nice, heavy, solid wood tops for free. You can obviously buy these slabs too, but just another idea. I got two 30" and two 36"...

This isn't mine, just found it browsing on Craigslist this morning. I would love to have this one or something like it, but I don't have $800 and it's about 2+ hours from my house. Awesome piece though, would love to have one of these in my garage with a nice butcher block top made. Anyone...

I asked the guy from the power company... "what would happen if a drunk driver accidentally took that pole out one night?"... he says, "we would come out and put it back up in the same place". Not sure if that's true or if he's just trying to persuade me not to do something stupid... but it...

I had a busy weekend... worked on the garage some & did some other house repairs. Last week I came home and our old tired A/C system in the house was not working. It's about 16 years old and the coils are just falling apart. So I spent most of the day Sunday installing a new A/C system in the...

Hey Jim, I don't have one actually... just looking through the pics on my phone, but I'll take one this weekend and post it up. We're hoping to get the paint on this weekend as the weather looks decent. (it's been raining every day in Florida for the last two weeks it seems) Josh B.

Just thought I would add some more updates to the build... I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's amazing how long it takes to get stuff done when you're only working on it one day per week. In years past i would have been out there working every day after work, late into the...

Does anyone know the paint code for these Mac boxes? I found this "touch up paint" on Mac's website, but it's $30 for one can...

I forgot to post the pictures of the tools that were in it... I also found probably another 20-30 tools that had fallen behind the drawers that were stuck in the bottom. Along with a dozen different brochures, receipts, and other paperwork from the 80's & 90's. One of them was a...

I just picked up this workbench today. I was planning to make my own, but I found this one on Craigslist and it was free! It was removed from a window/door manufacturing plant and they just wanted it gone. It's 12' long and 52" wide. I may have to modify it a little because that's a little wider...
