Hi I am the proud owner of a 2002 Acura TLS, but as some of us know there is a problem with this great car; the transmission is weak. A lot of people are replacing the stock ****** with a 2007 / 8 Accord ******. It's an exact bolt on with changing a filter & the ECM (U?). Obviously I'm...

Hi I'm posting this here to see if anyone is interested in this beautiful old lathe. It is belt driven, HUGE lathe. They are just wanting $550 for it, of course you would have to arrange shipping. They do have the capability of loading it there. I would like a finders fee... a beer would...

I had a HOA once. First question I ask when looking at a new house is if there's a HOA. I will NEVER live anywhere where someone else has the power to say my grass is too long, or if I happen to have an overnight project in the garage, that I have to park my car a mile away... sorry... my...

OH MAN!!! That's friggin ingenious!!! I had never seen one like that. That WILL be going into my "most used" drawer. I have a dune buggy with a '74 VW engine and that will come in handy for doing a tune - condenser replacement. Thanks all for your speedy answers. I may have to find that...

Hi All, Normally I know my tools. I've had some very good teachers (grandfathers, dad, etc). My maternal grandfather drove semi for a number of years, then he repaired them and when he retired he worked out of his garage repairing anything with a small engine. From the state of his garage when...

Here is what I did. About a year after I finished the shed I made the gutters. The front gutter is just 8 feet long, the back one is 16 feet long. All in all I collect 75% of the water that hits the shed roof. Each barrel is 85 gallons, I think, so about 340 gallons collected. If it rains...

I know... we have the stores, but they don't carry stuff for the "real" do it yourselfer. I live in a small town called Robins, just north of Cedar Rapids, IA. I do have to get my profile updated. I have built a lot of stuff, but that's what makes the job of filling out my profile a little...

nothing good comes out of an apple...

Well I got my 44" base cabinet and the 7 drawer side cabinet. MAN I wish I had been reading Garage Journal years ago when I bought my Husky & Craftsman tool boxes. These are NICE!!! I also got them with the "General PRO" emblem on them which is a stick on without through holes like some of...

^^^ LMAO!!! I expected it, but still jumped.

"perfume on a pig" I like that!! Thanks!!

I'm thinking about getting 2 of these http://www.harborfreight.com/roller-cabinet-44-13-drawer-gloss-red-industrial-uality-68784.html and two of these http://www.harborfreight.com/7-drawer-red-end-cabinet-for-roller-tool-chest-68785.html to make a woodworking bench that could be connected long...

911mike - I've thought about OSB over 1/2 in ply, but I would hate seeing the texture of the OSB through the paint... especially using a semi -gloss or gloss. In your post you're implying that you can get the surface smooth with just the primer and paint? I have thought I could always smooth...

I was thinking about outfitting my garage with these http://www.redlinegaragegear.com/ but wondering if I could come up with something just as suitable but at a fraction of the cost.
