    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Thanks very much. I have already used it a couple times but was gentle. I have a plain jane vise for the dirty work. ;-)

    Is my Bendpak HD-9 defective? Cables sag after a few days

    I have a Bendpak and mine had a slight leak on the 90 degree fitting into the cylinder that was an easy fix. Prior to that I would get a very slight slack in my cables but nowhere near as much as yours. Give them a call and I'm sure they'll be happy to help. I've had nothing but great...

    My Safety Moment from Yesterday

    Thanks guys for the well wishes. My thought for the post wasn't for sympathy but hopefully a heads up to all of us that it doesnt take much to getcha. This was a really nice Milwaukee angle grinder but not enough to have that clutch deal I guess. Offroadrunner, that is EXACTLY like what my...

    My Safety Moment from Yesterday

    Hi guys. Just wanted to post up for everyone to be careful. I got bit yesterday and while the buzz of pain pills is pleasant, my arm wrapped up and full of stitches is not. Yesterday I was using my 4 1/2 angle grinder with a cutoff wheel to remove a welded on trailer jack. I had eye...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Hahaha. The Sanger below my coupe is my sons and a very famous boat that he's slowly restoring. ISCA champion from the 1979/1980 season. We've been able to document all of it as well as find many of the original parts and pictures... Here's some from back in the day

    Hi folks

    Hi! My pops was career Navy and when he finally retired in the early 70's they chose the Bremerton/Silverdale area. I just never moved away and chose to raise my family here. Like everyone where, I've got more projects than I have time..... :-) And unfortunately, those silly boats...

    Hi folks

    Hi Folks. While I registered a number of years ago my posts have been limited. Been working on a number of projects and have begun to work over my shop to make it better and find this site extremely valuable. John from Silverdale Washington

    Am I crazy to think a lift would fit?

    Am I crazy to think a lift would fit?

    Thanks again for all the thoughts. Actually, the garage is 30' x 50'. The open door is the one with the stall that we're talking about. Don't mind my grandkids being silly.....:D

    Am I crazy to think a lift would fit?

    Thanks again guys. My initial thought would be to set the posts so the are in the 12' section. Obviously that would mean I would have to be cautious lifing and would need to make sure that the low side of the car (hood) would be in the 8' side. Obviously I wouldnt be able to lift it all the...

    Am I crazy to think a lift would fit?

    Hi guys. I have a nice sized garage and am kicking around the idea of a lift. The stall I'm looking to put it in is a bit odd sized (actually it's very wide but has a funky ceiling. My first thought was a 4 post lift but now I'm kinda thinking a 2 post might be better. I realize that...

    can I combine to 60 gal. air compressor tanks?

    I've done exactly what you're thinking about and love it. I keep the tanks full and can walk out there and do a number of jobs without the compressor ever coming on. A side benefit is with the longer hold times I never get any water out of my remote water traps whereas before, I would see some...
