Detailed the bike indoors for the first time ever, Garage is a new build and just got power last week

VHT works well, the exhaust ceramic coating wore down on my bikes aftermarket pipes so i used VHT to get them nice again. Seems to need cleaning w/ steel wool and a respray every year or two.

A little off subject but i refurbished my grandfathers old kennedy machinist toolbox the best i could without a media blaster and scored a cool shoe locker i cleaned up and painted for storage.. pics below I'm about ready to tackle framing and hanging OSB for walls, not sure how i want to get...

Finished up the second bench and mounted the compound miter saw, the electrical work is now done in the building and waiting on final inspection.

I went a little nuts and built another 8' table on 4''casters. I should have made it shorter in hindsight but it rolls ok. My 12'' compound miter saw is going in the middle of this one once i pick up some more wood for the the top. I'm out of 5'' extrusion now.

All the feedback got me thinking about it and Im starting to build another 6' table on casters for my 12'' compound miter saw. I'll get my father's material inventoried and I'll list what we have in the classifieds... I'll also post some pics of the table build when its completed.

I'm located in 27804, my father has more than i have left... a crate full and he's located an hour south in 28371. If anyone's seriously interested i can get a inventory of all parts and pics. Here is the manufactures website http://octanorm.com/home2.aspx It might take awhile for my father...

Good point, i bet if i put pictures of the bench on Craigslist and the material we could get a buyer... i really hate to waste/recycle the material.

I have access to 20 or so more of 6' 5''x5'' tubing but i'm located in North Carolina. New this stuff is super $$. What me and my father can't use is going to be recycled at $1.10 a pound. If anyone is local and wants to make a trade/purchase or deal we can offload some of the material. The...

Built a 36x24 metal building a few months back while waiting on my electrician i started fabricating my workbench. I scored some octanorm aluminum tubing used for exhibit booths that lock together and used it for the frame work. I reinforced everything with L brackets, The bench top is two...

The concrete expanded because bracing wasn't sufficient. I paid $3200 for the slab, guess you get what you pay for.

The Builders showed up yesterday and worked late last night and tonight. Construction is around 80% complete. Only big issue is my concrete PAD is not square and overlaps the building base frame causing issues with paneling going past the pads extrusions on two sides which can let water...

I finally pulled the trigger and went forward with a Bennett Building 24x36x9. The footings and pad was poured last week. This is my first time building anything and i'm a 1st time home owner/ Cost wise I've got about $12k invested with Concrete, building and materials I've started hording...

The real issue here is budget, but taking all of your suggestions into consideration I think i'm seeking another quote for a new option. Now i'm thinking i should go smaller and get the following: 37' x 24 x 8' (or 9) fully insulated, Vertical roofing and 12 GA metal tubing. From what i...

Unless I wait several months my options are really limited to the two quotes. the biggest thing that bothers me about the 24x48 quote is the horizontal roof. I Mau hold off until I can finance moving to vertical roofing if I go that route.
