Thanks for the thumbs up! I haven't heard from anyone yet that has offered any helpful information. I wonder if maybe I'm taking the wrong approach to request assistance? I would love to purchase a replacement base for my vise, so that I can get it attached to my bench (which I assembled over...

Good morning (on the U.S. East Coast), fellow G.J. enthusiasts! I have been a member of G.J. for several years, but have been dormant for a while. Recently I was setting up my (suburban) two car garage and somehow tipped my Wilton vise off of the bench. the base broke when it landed on the...

Hi Kay, I don't know if you're aware of them... But I recently bought a 10-pack of candelabra to standard base adapters. They don't work everywhere I have candelabra bulbs (ceiling fan lights), but I'm getting a ton more light from standard LED bulbs than the candelabras. I hope this helps...

Nothing in the garage today, but spent some time re-arranging shelving sets yesterday prior to the rain that blew through north Texas. This is my third garage since 2006, but my wife loves this house so maybe I'll be here long enough to get some of my ideas implemented. I love this thread, but...

Hi there Shopnut, I'm on page 135 right now... So my question might seem out of context. But, maybe you or one of your regular readers might be able to offer an opinion about my air compressor purchase. Right now I think I would get one from HF, is that a bad idea? I want to be able to...

Hey nkachur, I have read through your entire thread and want to add my opinion to those that have commented before me. Very impressive accomplishment on your build. I am rather stubborn myself but you may have elevated it to an art form here (no offense intended). I am really in awe of the fact...

Hello Fergus! I am following along with your really awesome project and want to add my kudos to those of others that encouraged you to repair that garage and not to tear it down, I wish I had done the same myself with a previous home that we sold three years back. I'm squarely in the repair it...

Hey there, I'm checking in to say, "Subscribed. And to say thanks for the info for my concrete floors and for detailing vehicles". I think I might be trying the coating/paint on my suburban garage floor one of these days and I'm going to delve deeper into detailing my wife's Infiniti with some...

Hey there, fellow Metroplex resident! I know where Forney is, but I don't generally drive there (cause I live in Carrollton)... Loving what you have created in your garage space! Good work, and keek it up... I have a '65 ford f100 on jack stands in a VERY preliminary garage build. Keep up the...

Hi Eric, I would also like to add my congrats to those of others here, on what you've begun and how far you've progressed in a fairly short amount of time. I am now subscribed and look forward to following your thread. good luck!

I agree on the Falstaff sign. I don't have any particular affinity to the beer, I just think the sign is Awesome!!

Hey there, fellow Garage Journalers! I also want to add my thanks to Shopnut and AussieDan for the label spreadsheet so I might clean up my fusebox at home. I also plan to use it in a rent house that we have that just came open and we are going to put up for sale. I think having it's fusebox...

So, just like many others... I have "lurked" here reading of others adventures. That being said, I now find myself wanting to announce myself to the community and 'splain my goals. Well I was born a small white man... (Just a small Steve Martin riff there. Hope you don't mind). All kidding...
