    How do I fill my shop with music?

    Not a bad attitude just an observation. The op asked for solution to a problem. I gave my opinion on how to solve that problem. Seems some people interject with why they don’t listen to music or the fact that their speaker system consists of a single speaker and that should suffice for the op...

    How do I fill my shop with music?

    Seems some people can’t read. The op asked for concert sound in his 2000sqft shop not your opinions on the fact that you don’t like to listen to music while working on projects or your 1985 radio shack special is all you really need. He stated that he already has 4 book shelf speakers that are...

    How do I fill my shop with music?

    Since you didn’t list budget and you said you want concert quality sound I am going to say a 1970’s Pioneer maybe the SX 1010, SX 1050, SX 1080 or if your really feeling froggy the Mack daddy of them all the SX 1980. Pair that with a set of Klipsch Cornwalls mounted up as high as you can get...

    Wire spool mounting ideas?

    I built this one a few years ago. If I had to change something it would be using bolts to keep the rod from sliding instead of cotter pins. Also I would have chosen a different mounting location. I haven’t had to pull to many empty rolls down or add that many but the location and the design...

    Perfect job for a 3D printer. Can the cord be unwired from what ever it is connected to? What’s the gauge of the wire?

    Has anyone mastered engine turning?

    Please do. On second thought I have a bathroom vanity that I am wanting to build this might be a cool feature to add to it.

    Has anyone mastered engine turning?

    Not that I am going to do this but curious how you accomplished it on such a large piece? By hand, mag drill? What’s your secret?

    Has anyone mastered engine turning?

    I thought about this a little as I have a speaker project coming up that I want to do some engine turning on. My idea was basically to make a board with a grid pattern of holes laid out on the dimensions I would want the pattern of the swirls to be taking into account the size of the tool that I...

    The ADD Garage.

    Worked on a project I have been putting off for a while. I wanted to build a Bluetooth speaker a while back so I started looking at designs. Found a speaker design by a guy named Paul Carmody that got really good reviews and the price was right around $100 for all the components minus the...

    The ADD Garage.

    Looks like I started construction on March 21, 2016. Luckily my father in laws friend let us borrow the telehandler for free and his helper for a few days while we got the columns and perlins set. After that we were on our own. If I would have had to rented the telehandler it might of been just...

    The ADD Garage.

    I figured it’s time to start a thread about my garage now that I have gotten to a point where I am able to work on things other than just shop related stuff. By no means am I even close to finishing it. I have come to a realization that it will never be done. Part of that is the fact that I...

    What tools do I need to build a dresser?

    This. I see used furniture all the time on Craigslist made of solid wood from the 70’s 80’s that is out of style. I have often thought of buying some of these pieces just to repurpose the lumber. I don’t know what your style is but I see MCM style furniture on Craigslist for the prices you would...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Finished a synthesizer case for a friend I literally started 6 months ago. Luckily he builds synth modules like I build cases. Nice and slow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What kind of music do you listen to in your garage?

    Pioneer SX with some Klipsch Cornwalls. Mostly listen to idm, techno stuff that nobody on here has heard of. If I want words and something a little harder it’s Tool, Type O Negative, Marilyn Manson or early Metallica.

    Craftsman style door?

    Picked up three of these doors last week for $60. Not exactly the same as yours has a top panel as well. Never seen one of those before. Still I think even one like the ones I got would fit with the theme of what you have as the doors won’t be compared side by side. Sent from my iPhone using...
