I really like how you attached the hitch for the vice. Instead of just schloopping it on, it is countersunk. I'm building my own table right now and am definitely going to incorporate that idea. -Will I have a website: www.measuretwiceplans.com

Those are very nice little tables! -Will I have a website: www.measuretwiceplans.com

That is a legit compressor closet. And setup. I was about to do the same, but I realized the best way to eliminate sound is just to put the dang thing outside and hardpipe it through the wall. One of my friends let me borrow his Makita compressor. That thing was quieeeet. No ear pro needed...

I noticed the same thing on a recent purchase. The top ply (the nice stuff) is crazy thin compared to the others. I feel like it's got zero wiggle room to sand before you hit the next layer. Will I have a website: www.measuretwiceplans.com

Quite the opposite out here where people sometimes have to 'force' it to rust! Will I have a website: www.measuretwiceplans.com

I feel like by the time you buy an adapter, a new battery, and a charging station for a new battery, you're well above $100. On a side note, I'm kind of confused about the adapter. It looks like the adapter goes 18V to 20V, but I'm not sure if that means 18V lithium ion batteries only or if it...

Jake, you never showed me all of the build pictures! Love the one of lifting the table top. Sent from my Pixel 2 using The Garage Journal mobile app

I built the panels and set them one at a time so I didn't have to worry about being super precise. I think the u bolt template is a decent idea. I was just super paranoid of setting something in concrete then realizing later I screwed up dimensions! Sent from my Pixel 2 using The Garage...

This thread is a great read. I'm impressed with how much you're able to get such great deals on tools and fix them up enough for use. I feel like I could definitely learn from your bargain-hunting skills. Air stream is cool too :)

Rust is encouraged :) Since it's above grade, I shouldn't get any serious corrosion. Surface rust is something that I want. Worst case, I can replace a panel since they are bolted to the concrete instead of set inside of it.

Already on it!

So I recently built a steel trellis fence to bridge two sections of block wall. I'll ultimately grow some vines on it and it will serve as a way to break-up all of the concrete and block around the pool area. In retrospect, it would have been a hell of a lot easier to just pay the block guy...

Hi Everyone. Excited to be a part of the community. My buddy, TheRealJakeG told me about this site. Looking forward to sharing and learning! I'm an engineer, working on a master's in finance. I just like numbers I guess. I also love projects and am constantly working on something...
