I’m going to attempt to stain/poly them to match the windows. Wish me luck! This grinder has dust collector ports cast in, which is one on the reasons I was looking for this particular one. In theory, I will have my shop vac mounted outside next to the compressor with a dust collector, then...

More progress: (I still need to restore the grinder, but I had to set it in place to see what it would look like.)

Once again you guys are in my brain - ordered some fluted shelf stiffeners late last week!

Nowhere near done, but conceptually I’m getting somewhere.

For the stamped shelf brackets, after I had the first measured/marked/drilled, I used it as a template by clamping the remaining brackets to the template, drilling through them by using the template as a guide. For the bases, I just cut them all the same size, marked/drilled/plug welded from...

Mid project motivation picture:

Thank you - it's like Timm says - the garage is the project being worked on right now, so I ignore everything else falling apart in my life and needing attention until the garage is done or I get too burnt out to keep working on it lol - or something falls apart bad enough I need to stop working...

I keep finding myself stuck in a loop figuring out what’s next- no matter what, I’m missing at least one critical tool station for each project. For example- shelves- ideally I’d have the welding station set up and the table saw set up. I have one of them, but not both. Same goes for workbench...

Thank you - I ended up having a torn labrum in my shoulder, but by the time I had an MRI/got it diagnosed, it was "fine", so I'm just gonna live with it. It hasn't been bothering me too much, so that's good news.

I got the table pulled apart, painted, lag bolted, and leveled. It’s STOUT. I’m happy.

You’re in my brain again

Pretty much ready to pull apart and paint this thing- I got the holes laid out and drilled tonight.

Worked on the welding table a bit today, but it was wayyyyyyyy too nice out, so I took the car over to my brother’s house, a 40 mile round trip through downtown Portland, on I5, across bridges, etc. Fantastic day.

Well the I beam part was non negotiable, so I had to save time elsewhere lol

Likely yes, exploring inexpensive options, and will know more when I can visually see how much space the peg board takes up
