I use HF tarps to cover the front of my shelving attached with bungie cords. Simple and effective...

Good to hear I’m not the only one that leaves red grease drops all over the shop floor lol

Here is my Gracie girl, a 7 month old chocolate lab. My wife brought her home to me in November, and she has filled a void in my heart after having to put down my 15 year old hound 2.5 years ago and then my new hound pup getting hit by a car 3 months later. I was not able to bring myself to get...

Re: The Green Tools **** A couple green items from my Christmas wish list

I have 2 pairs of Walmart coveralls, a short sleeve light weight material for summer and a long sleeve heavy weight for winter. I got tired of having to change clothes before going down to the shop after work or to do a quick job, now I just put the coveralls over what I’m wearing and get to work.

I have had good luck with the 1/2 and 3/8 cobalt I got from Lowe’s. Same use as you, weekend warrior that needed a 3/8 for engine work and a 1/2 for lug nuts/suspension.

Re: The Green Tools **** My fiancé’s parents stopped by last night to drop off a backordered Christmas present that just came in! Should come in handy dealing with this:

Re: The Green Tools **** I’m getting a borla muffler welded in my truck exhaust and the snap on truck pulls up, I’m in trouble.... It’s been 10 years since I’ve been on a tool truck, it was nice talking to the owner and looking at his tools. The ratchet was something I had been planning on...

NC as well with same issue in detached shop. I bought an exhaust fan to mount in the wall and a humidity “stat” that plugs into a wall outlet (and the fan plugs into it) that turns on at a set humidity level (adjustable). Installing it unfortunately hasn’t made it to the top of my to-do list...

I use tarps to hide all the “stuff” I have accumulated over the years on pallet racks. The bottom shelf on the right rack is about 5’ off the ground to keep tall lift accessories (transmission jack, stiff arm, oil change jug) out of the way. The rack to the left of my gf’s workbench is covered...

My girlfriend has shown interest in doing some small woodworking/craft projects lately so I decided to clean up the “junk corner” of the shop and make her a work area. I didn’t want to lose storage space so I used a rack I previously had in my garage. I’m planning to “t” into the existing...

Looks great!!! I still haven't started on mine lol. My son uses the top end drawer as a TV tray and I like to pile junk on it, so I guess it's getting used at least. Here's a pic of it in action with my dad, son and nephew chilling in the shop

That's the box I have and couldn't be happier, except now I've run out of room. Seems to be a common problem around here...

Wow, just read through. Absolutely incredible !

Wow. That looks awesome! Great motivation for me, I really like the black trim!
