So finished up a bunch of these cabinets and installed them today - have 2 more wood ones to assemble (and a few more to build) - and got 5 of the metal ones done and one to fix and put up then my storage has become far more neat, organized and expanded. Big plus, my welding improved at least...

More fotos. The expanded metal sheet runs about $80 a sheet and can be cut with a small jigsaw with a metal blade - altho lately I've been using the plasma cutter. The rods for the dividers are 1/2 inch pvc + 3/8 rebar. Also highly recommend Fireball tools welding squares - they make setting...

I have so much stuff, most of it small tools / parts that organization is a big issue. Tried many different solutions over the years this is the latest incarnation. I have two types now - one made of wood for small plastic shoeboxes (walmart etc has these for about a dollar each) - and latest...

For my shop I use the very quiet Hydrovane compressors because the db rating is only 70.

Surprised there is not more damage from the deer - hit one a while back and it totalled the car.

Those mini-splits look like the heating / cooling units they used in China when I was there 20 years ago.

Congrats - looks like it is coming right along.

I like the Craftsman sets - got 3 or 4 of them.

Really nice design - have to see if I can do something similar.

Building a shop / house - got one of these superduper Senco screwguns - http://www.homedepot.com/p/Senco-DuraSpin-Cordless-Auto-Feed-Screw-Driver-System-2P0001N/100615087 and got these underlayment screws for screwing my OSB to 2x6 joists -...

So I want to put a mostly flat metal roof on an open-ended shipping container shop - steel bar joists as the main support members for the roof between the containers. Metal decking of course, but that wont work in this case because I want to collect the rain off the roof (this will be in...

Which is a very good idea - I think there is probably quite a few programs that would do the trick. For me to use software for something specialized like this that someone ELSE wrote - I just couldnt bring myself to handle the shame LOL And this inventory window is actually part of a larger...

A screenshot from the computer program.

Since this place is a little over the top - how about this ... The biggest pain I have found over the years (and it does not get better as you get older) IS FINDING STUFF. I literally have thousands of different items and most are quite small. So what I ended up doing is writing a computer...
