Sweet. I have that same desk in my basement but with a black top. Looks to be all original, in amazing shape.. and it was my favorite cost - free for hauling it out. it's just hanging out in my basement collecting spiders and supporting parts of my mustang resto at the moment.. some nice desks...

there are still some of these in neighborhoods around Western PA, I should snag pics of them because I don't see any like them in your collection. I wonder if anyone does affordable styles like this now?

very cool. i've always enjoyed adding vintage functioning tools to my collection ... now I have one of these on the list.

the horizontal bars on the uprights are usually much thinner than the upright channels - generally an angle stock or a c channel - that style of racking gets most of it's strength from being assembled. I've seen plenty take damage from forklifts etc - so to answer your question - yep - cut them...

does anyone know if there is a minimum distance from the roof edge it needs to be? I could run straight up through the existing hole and exit through the roof with proper conduit but it would be pretty close to the edge of the roof - is that legit? Is there a good way to properly mount the...

Hey folks sorry in advance for the verbiage.. I've got a detached 20x22 garage that currently has a janky overhead run. I've been reading the threads here through the search function - I know what I need to replace it with to do everything correctly as far as wire size, breakers, disconnects...

i had a ton of these at work when we closed the warehouse, my office had a really huge black one with a matching side table.. I wish I had room for one at home. I think they're killer when repainted and cleaned up.

Sweet! Great.. now I want one... I really want a high lift - long handle jack like this before I start the suspension work on my Mustang

taxes and insurance are a bit more expensive with commercial buildings - a friend and I looked into an abandoned warehouse for the same reason. Property Taxes were killer, the utilities were too.. to heat the space.. the electric.. an older service station would probably be the way to go. I'm...

I've got one in my garage. as well as a fire extinguisher. I also have wall mounted eye wash bottles. Both were salvaged from the warehouse I managed when we closed down. The First Aid kit has some pain killers, sting dressings, splinter removers, band aids, tape gauze, antibiotic ointments and...

Re: what did you do in your garage today? I stood outside, shivered.. and just stared thinkin about all the stuff I've seen on this board and what I'm going to do come warmer weather.. oh and also set traps and caught two shrews that had wandered in...

Smooth. Damn Smooth I bet that sounds pretty sweet. Wi-Fi in the garage is a tremendous step from when pops and I used to listen to a tape deck or record player. Even me and my buddies tinkering on bikes got tired of the same CD's... Now there's so much available for music you don't need any...

Nice work. get ready for some fast pinewood derby cars!

CI of 38 at age 32. I'm good for six more years..

any of the above options work - what kind of stereo/receiver do you have in the garage? what kind of connections? I do this all the time - I cleared off a spot on top of my mini fridge to put my laptop on, the wire is ziptied to my work bench, speakers on the wall, just drop the laptop, plug in...
