Hey Herb! I see you've been largely silent for quite a while. Wanted to check in and make sire everything is OK Sent from my LG-H830 using The Garage Journal mobile app

Man. It's been over 5 years since I updated this thread about my garage. Thought of you guys yesterday after I was using my most recent project. After many, many years of himming and hawing, after dragging my feet, I finally completed the project that brought me to this site in the first place...

Hey gang! It's been a while since I've posted anything, but I thought I'd share this idea. I built the saw horses cause every shop needs saw horses. And then I built the sheet good cutting grid to help cut down some plywood I used to repair a kitchen cabinet. But, if you just stick a sheet of...

If you're not opposed to building something here's a project I did a couple months ago. It's meant as a sheet good cutting grid, but it makes a great stowable work surface, too. The saw horses fold up, the grid comes apart, and you can put any sheet good down to use as a work surface. All made...

All good. I own a Kreg jig for pocket holes and it's awesome. Massive pole barns are awesome. Grizzly and Jet table saws are awesome. Massive pole barns and Grizzly/Jet are not where I am right now :D Hell, I don't even have space for a table saw yet, so I stick a circular saw upside down...

With your affinity for red I'm surprised to see DeWalt and not Milwaukee

Dan, I couldn't agree more. I find the same thing when I watch woodworking videos on Youtube. I love seeing guys make their own tools and use things in creative ways. As soon as I see a guy with lots of Kreg accessories or having highly specialized equipment I know that channel is not for me...

Thanks to my neighbor I have a decent rookie understanding of things AFTER the breaker box. Adding a new circuit is above my comfort level, though. One other thing to toss in the mix is voltage. (P.S. if anyone following this thread sees me say something wrong PLEASE speak up). And that may be...

Man do I feel your pain. I'm lucky to have an electrical engineer for a neighbor so he schooled me quite a bit. In your garage you have at least one circuit. Each circuit terminates in a sub panel somewhere. The circuit can handle a certain load - usually 20 amps. Each thing you plug into the...

Welcome to Garagejournal! You've got a great start to an awesome shop. I love the pallet wall and use them a lot in my shop as well. It's a great look, but just keep in mind the more of the whiteness you take away on your walls the darker the space will become and therefor need more light...

Hey Herb! Admittedly I've been on GJ a lot less lately. I've been spending most of my time trying to absorb as much as I can on the woodworking craft. Lots of reading on Lumberjocks, watching Youtube, and watching older shows like the Woodwrite's Shop, New Yankee Workshop, Woodsmith Shop, etc...

Looking good as always, Herb. A man who takes that much pride in his work space takes pride in every other aspect of his life, too. Happy New Year, sir!

Thanks for the add, Brian. Is this the place? http://www.thehiddentreasureemporium.com/ That belt sander looks great, BTW.

macgee First off, thank you so much for continuing to participate in the thread. Thanks to everyone else, too. I started the thread to be a list of Brick and Mortar stores we could go check out if we needed something. I'd like to refrain from listing the great things you find on CL because...

You're right. That is a great idea as a gift for a wedding. When I saw the idea that started this whole thread I got really excited about this kind of project because it gave me, as a woodworker, the opportunity to build something that may be considered a family heirloom (in history not in...
