I was considering the HF one, as well as various Dewalt versions (nice but expensive). I wasn't aware of the Kobalt, but I've been eyeing the Kobalt 7.25" sliding miter saw - they'd match nicely. We'll see if the setup works out how I'm hoping; I can always change my mind. The plan as it...

I've started work on a bench similar in design to the links I posted above. More on this later, but I've hit a stopping point. The casters I want aren't in, and it's going to get difficult to get them on by myself if I keep going. The bottom is framed out for now. This is my current miter...

Finally got the closet doors back on the closets. Primed and painted, they don't look half bad. More importantly, they're out of the garage.

It probably could. It belonged to the previous owners of the house; I made them a trade for it. Seems to run and mow decently as it is, but I'll need to learn more tractor-fu to get it back into shape.

So true. In fact, there's not much in that garage which DOESN'T need some paint. I really hate painting, but eventually it must be done. In a new twist on the table saw/miter saw situation, I discovered this style of table...

Just when I start to get the garage cleaned up a bit, we did some priming yesterday. The closet doors are back with a vengeance, and this time they're primed. :shocking: Naturally, it's pouring today - meaning they can't be painted and moved elsewhere. :lol_hitti

Hung a few more of the desktops. I can fit more! The pictured HON 2-drawer file cabinets came off CL free. I may need to talk to HON about a garage sponsorship... Made some butcher block-style tops for the Craftsman bottom boxes. I still need to get creative to establish a universal...

Remember the Pile O'Paint? It was bothering me. I decided this was a job for the smaller file cabinet. Nearly all of the paint fit, and it's much easier to find everything.

So here is the cubicle desktop material. Time to hang the first shelf! I cleared off a spot on the east wall to try out the cubicle desks. Trimmed the top tabs on the brackets. Hung the supports. I started with three Tapcons per side; think I need to add a few more for rigidity. The...

No, they were a gift. A friend/former co-worker builds them as a hobby.

Also hung the ******** boards out on the patio. My first crack at a French cleat system; I'm pleased with the result.

On the topic of work space, I've been looking for counter material or worktable tops. CL just came through again, this time in the form of cubicle desktop material. I picked up quite a bit of this desk material (24', not counting the larger corner pieces) for $FREE, along with the original...

Great ideas Shorty, thanks!

There is an attic access; nothing is currently up there. You're right about the handler and WH - I'd love to have the handler back up in attic, but it was redone just before we bought the house. I won't be changing that anytime soon. The heater is near EOL, so I may move it when I replace it...

Here are some wide-ish angle shots of the whole garage. The south/back wall of the garage: The west wall: The east wall: Although I was able to get rid of the closet doors and cement board, I recently acquired seven solid core doors for free on CL. The doors currently in the house...

I'll try to take one. This past weekend was exceptionally productive - the cement board and closet doors are now gone, so I was able to (somewhat) organize the garage. Nothing like the level of detailed organization I want to see, but it's now a massive improvement over the hoarder space it...

Hung the tape cabinet as well.

Picked up a compressor ($20) at a yard sale. Haven't run it yet, but hopefully it was a good deal. I need to find the right fittings before I can check it out.

New business: I made a shelf for the 1lb+ fastener boxes which wouldn't fit in the small drawers. I wanted something versatile, so I chose some random heights. The width is determined by the wall space I had available.

Will do, and I'll keep an eye out for the next gathering. I'm honored by your visit! I know my project is quite humble, but I wanted to share from the early stages. Thanks for stopping in; I hope to visit your country one of these days. I'm generally an inshore guy (and I do love me a big...
