    options needed: Outdoor storage for lawn equipment

    Hey all, I am finally getting settled in my garage to work on my Porsche 928 and Eagle Talon Race Car (550awhp)... as well as parking the wife's Acura... :argue: but my biggest problem has been the lawn equipment. I end up shuffeling it around and cant find a "home" for it. My thought was to...

    Food Prep Table

    About a year ago I painted a cabinet for the garage with rustoleum tint - able cabinet paint. I painted directly over laminate and only prepped by scuffing with a 600 sanding disc. A year later the stuff still looks new. It's scrubbable and my god is it hard... I have dropped a 5 lb hammer...

    Kids & Tools

    I'm not sure it would be worth the investment... I'm 28 and I love tools, but most guys my age have no interest in doing anything with their hands other than snap chatting. Also, I think being a "gamer" and a craftsman are very mutually exclusive.

    Welding help/advice, My first fab.

    All of your welds look too cold to me... Some look good but with a mig welder you should reduce your feed and increase power. The welds that look dirty are because of your gas feed. Either you have it set too low or you need to hold the welder closer to perpandicular. Also remember with...

    do I really need a dryer on my setup?

    1) for what you are doing a dryer is probably not nevessary, but is is a good idea. I have a 60 gallon setup and when I'm working for long periods of time with a sand blaster or air grinder you will start to get condensation in the line because of the air being cooled in the hose. You have to...
