    Pole Building Mezzanine Supports

    You could pour a couple of concrete piers the same height that your floor will be and build off of them. Then later when you pour the floor pour right up to them.

    Alternative Tool storage

    Here is my lateral file cabnet. I like this one because the front is flush (no handles sticking out) I built a angle iron frame with casters for it to sit in. The drawers open full length, and interlock so only one can be opened at a time. I was even lucky enough to get a key to lock it. As...

    Small Zero Cost Tool Shed Build Pics.

    Here are a couple more pics. I still have to snap a line on the roof metal and cut it off, they were just some scrap pieces I had laying around. The rafters are 2x4s laid flat. They are only spanning about 20" and I was trying to get all the height I could and still stay below the concrete...

    Alternative Tool storage

    The lateral file cabnets are your cheapest bet. I took one and built a angle iron frame with casters for it to sit on, it works great. By the time you buy peg board and material, you could probably get a cheap used box.

    Shop thermometer

    I bought a outdoor one at Lowes on clearance fairly cheap. Its about 12-14 inches dia. I put it outside and when the sun hits it the needle almost pegs! If its in the shade its pretty accurate. What can you expect from a cheap piece of junk.

    Expedient paint booth ideas wanted

    Thanks. I had a chance to get one last year for free at work. It was taken out of a confrence room, and only a couple years old. The problem was it weighed about 600lbs. I think it had glass panels inside the material for sound proofing, and it was to tall. I did not see any good way to cut it...

    GARAGE TIPS and TRICKS - POST 'em!

    I did not know they made the plates either. I built one for a vise about 20 years ago, not for use on a work bench but to use on the back of my truck. I guess I should have pattened it then. :D My buddys motto is...... If something is free take it, you can always throw it away later.
