Re: What did you do in your garage today? Built a tire storage rack out of some 1x1 square tube, had a buddy come help me hang it up on the wall

Its just the base for the cabinet not the whole thing

I thought about having the legs fold out but I couldn't think of a good way to lock them in place. I figure the table is going to be in use more than it will be folded up so it's not a huge deal having to remove the legs. They sit nicely on top of the table when it's folded anyways. It seems...

Ya there is another piece of 1x1 tubing welded in the center to support the plywood. No, I wasn't planning on it. If I am not using them for an extended period of time I usually take the regulators off and screw the cap on.

I needed some more work space so I decided to build a fold down table attached to the wall. I have seen some examples in threads on here but I decided to use my own idea. Table is made out of 1" square tube with a 5/8" ply top. The legs fit into a small piece of 1.25" tube with a bolt to hold...

Pun intended?

Looks great! I didn't realize how many people were on here from Calgary and area!

peach snapple has been a favorite lately

this for sure. i only learned after a few drill bit sets were completely dull. cutting fluid doesn't only make drilling the actual hole easier, it is easier on the drill motors and the drill bits as well

Being that I am in Alberta as well, this is exciting to see! Can't wait to see what you do with it!

I have this problem with my family. Not so much with friends though. If friends want to work on stuff, I just tell them to come over and use the tools in my garage. That way they don't leave the building and therefore they don't get lost. As for my family, I took some of my old screwdrivers...

how does this stuff compare to the bluco fixturing tables?? looks very similar

Re: How many ratchets do you own ? i have the one that was originally posted, in 1/2, 3/8 and 1/4" as well as an old school craftsman 1/2" and a cheapy princess auto 3/8" drive and 1/4". thought that was a fair number but apparently not after looking through the collections of ratchets on here

I really like the toolbox topper! It does appear that way in the picture but my workbench area is under a loft in the garage which is built out of wood that looks similar so it all ties in
