    washing shop rags

    Although I am on several different forums for different things (sport bikes, sport bikes, old trucks, etc.), I don't think that I have come this close to spitting beer out of my nose for a long time. As for the poster that washes the shop rags, then the dog bed, then the coveralls? Really? you...

    Starting Metal Working Table

    Wow, I have picked up several ideas from this thread... Receiver "hitch" with a "big *** vice" for the 4x6 workbench I have (made out of 4x4 framing with caster wheels w/locks) will allow me to get it out of the way most of the time. Also now thinking about a small welding table (2x2ish) with a...

    Hang out area

    Awesome idea. My "Entertainment" section of the shop is a computer workstation area with three chairs around it that can be moved to work on stuff, a small shelving unit with an XBox and 24 inch HD LCD...and a fridge...

    What part of Idaho are you from? My Dad and Uncle have a small collection of Jeeps.

    Another garage junkie from Idaho

    My wife thinks I am crazy, but my dream "garage" would be a huge warehouse with a good sized travel trailer or motorhome parked in it for living quarters (maybe a couple extra for guest quarters...), some astroturf for a lawn, and the rest of it for parking and various work areas. If your going...

    Another garage junkie from Idaho

    I joined up on this forum a while ago and have been lurking for a bit. The one thing that I have noticed is that about 85% of you have better shops than I do. I have been into muscle cars and motorcycles for about 35 years and love working on stuff. As my family has progressed, my shop space has...

    Damn You People of Garage Journal for Over Edumakating Me

    I would have bought one of them for cheap and used it and abused it without ever knowing that they were worth something more than a good vise at a good price...

    floor pit construction

    I built (scabbed together) a shop years ago and poured the floor with a pit in it. It was about 8 x 4 and worked great for the work that I was doing. Sandy ground in a mild climate so didn't have water problems. Only downsides were ease of access to it (short ladder), a friend that almost...

    Questions for Pegboard users

    I wish I was 1/3rd as organized as that. I knew I joined this forum for a reason other than to drool over other peoples shops. The screwdriver holder is a great idea. I am currently rethinking my tool organization and moving things from the tool box (currently jammed with stuff) to using my...
