    Not very big garage of Russia

    Great thread!! Just read the entire thing and found it fascinating. I have to say, living where I do in Florida, I would DIE if the temps were that cold. I just checked and it said the temp there right now is 21deg F.:shocking: It's about 72F here right now and that feels a little cool for...

    securing shop safe

    I watched them move this thing in here. Without proper equipment, which a crook isn't bringing with him, I don't care what ingenuity you have, you will never get that safe out of the house before ur discovered. The crooks will grab everything they can within reach. Stuff they can move quickly...

    securing shop safe

    OK--I've got a good size safe in my house. We travel a lot so house is empty quite a bit. Been broken into 2x and every time they tried to move the safe and break into it, both times with no luck at all. Once loaded, that thing is going to be HEAVY:shocking:. Run of the mill thieves will NEVER...

    I agree, get what U want when U build. If U DON'T chances are you never will do it! I had plenty of room on our land so I had a metal built by a company from GA. They, too, did everything from site prep and post grading, concrete, commercial doors with auto openers, lights, insulation plus built...

    Genuine Mechanix gloves or generic?

    I pick up gloves at one of the rod runs that I attend during the year. Couple of hundred vendors there that carry a variety of pretty good gloves. Most are 2 pair for $5. They last me a couple of months so not bad at all.

    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    Kevin, So sorry to hear of Brandi's struggles. When the vet told me that Hank(pictured below) had cancer and that he probably had about a month or two and suggested that I put him down, I rejected the idea without a thought. Hank lived for another year. Although he had some bad days, most of...

    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    This was my best friend for 13 years. HANK--Catahoula Leopard Hound. I've had a lot of dogs in my time but this guy was something special. Herded horses and cattle and let the grand kids ride on his back and pick at his mouth while he slept and kept the boogie man at bay. Lost him a year ago...

    Buying tools from Pawn Shops

    From 2009 to the beginning of 2012 the pawn shops in a town close to me were JUMPIN!! Just the bad economy I guess. I got some great tools at a great price. It did affect me from time to time that it seemed I was profiting from someone else's misfortune.

I sold an old Walker-Turner band saw, made in late 1940's and a Vega 170 spinning/turning lathe. The band saw needed referb...

    Finally ordered Bend Pak HD-9XW

    Happy for ya. I've had a Stinger by AXE for about 10 years. I use it A LOT and never had so much as a burp out of it. I particularly like that I'm able to move it around the shop with the casters. I've even moved it, from one side of the shop to the other, with a car on the lift, by myself!
