    If you had access to a 3D printer and knowledge of CAD what would you make?

    I've had a 3D Printer for quite awhile now and have made countless parts and items. Recently I made mold for a silicone convertible top seal to fit an old 911 Porsche.

    Seeking Advice for Complete Garage Renovation

    Nice space, similar to my 3 car garage. As stated you should figure out where you want everything like electrical, water, air, lift (I recommend planning for a car lift). This along with any structural updates and damage mitigation (e.g., what appears to be moisture issues) will be what you...

    The Garage Computer

    I just stick my iPhone in a Ziploc so I can use it with greasy/dirty hands. But I am still a paper person... I like to have the appropriate manual pages printed out and nearby when needed, included being blue taped to the hood or body somewhere when working on a car.

    Welding Web Forum?

    Old thread, but their site ***** for signing up. I've tried multiple time but it keeps telling me all my answers are wrong. Either I have reverted back to a less than 3rd grade education or their site is severely broken. I've emailed them, but to no avail...
