    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Hey all. Long time since I have posted. I recently purchased a Wilton 3-1/2" combination vise, date code 83 on it. I plan to disassemble it soon for restoration. The vise is in great shape with the exception of the combination jaw bolts. From what I have seen they are threaded in. It appears the...

    What's on your walls? Neat storage ideas!

    Nice fishing rod collection! What type of fish do you typically hook? Lake/river/other?

    5mall5nail5's Modest 2-car Clean-up and Setup

    Looks great! Nice way to display the 'L'enses. Why wasn't the fiber located closer to the desk/PC? And what is the source of the baseboard heat cover? Thanks

    The "OMG" Tool Thread

    Mine has been my Makita 18v cordless impact driver. I rarely use my drill/driver anymore unless I'm using a drill bit. I have the 2-pc tool kit.

    School me on my vise

    That ad shows a combination vise, with pipe jaws. Mine does not have that feature. The ad I linked in post #17 appears to be what I have. One thing I really dislike about this vise is the jaws. They have little, to no, grip at all. I find myself putting things in the vise to have them shift...

    Good comment. I will eventually be buying a welder of some sort.

    Opinions on garage flooring- concrete, epoxy, racedeck

    Good response. My garage sees light use, meaning I'm not dragging stuff across the floor, or dropping stuff on it. I like the idea of epoxy but have heard horror stories from people who've used it. After some research it was likely due to a cheap product and/or improper prep. I would prefer...

    Renovating my garage

    -It's just a Trans Am, nothing fancy :sad: -I really wasn't in 'Garage Journal' mode back when we bought the house. In hindsight, I would have done all this initially, but money was tight then. -I plan to relocate the dryer vent out the back and will potentially build a soffit to hide it. The...

    Renovating my garage
