My detached has a second floor somewhat ... previous owner had an extension ladder stuck in here when we looked at the place. I was thinking about making something out of 2x4s that was more stable / permanent. Don't want it to protrude out too far however and eat into precious real estate...

There are several companies selling this type of heater; I'm sure there are churned out of the same factory in Zhang Zhin. Makes it kinda hard to search for real GJ'er reviews. Found one on Craigslist I can snag for 50-60. I'm in North Alabama, so it's not usually cold for long here. This...

What's your secret? I have a stationary tool box stack, and when I'm working on my vehicle, it never fails that one of the three situations below happens: 1. I choose to not wreck the garage. I crawl under the car, with a 14mm socket, and find that it's a a 15mm bolt. Back out, to the box...

get all the damn grease out of the wheel bearings on my dirtbike? Soaked them for 2 days in a pail of berryman's carb cleaner. That helped somewhat. I would like them completely clean so I can repack with waterproof marine grease. I don't know what the previous owner put in some of these...

These are 14.99 at harbor freight, and with my 20% off coupon collection, I can get them for a whopping $12. I'd like to build a decent inventory of metric fasteners (basically just varying sizes/lengths of bolts and nuts) since they always come in handy. Maybe allen/socket cap as well...

Several forums (cars, dirt bikes, etc) have a common thread- such as "what did you do to your mustang today?" where users can show everything from installing a shift knob or swapping engines, or cleaning out the ash tray. Sometimes you don't want to start a thread for some little thing, but you...

I inherited a knife from my father that's just about done all it can do, and am looking for another to replace it. It's a microtech full auto, but a very small one I carried in my front shirt pocket like a pen. Similar to this but just plain black: I like assisted open, probably half...

Seller says it is new in the box. He's at work and can't remember the model number. Thinking about picking it up to replace the destroyed 4-incher I've got now.

This needed some TLC (engine was leaking oil and the fork seals are shot) I love rebuilding these things and now I'm down to this: I'd like to sandblast the frame and coat it with truck bed liner. Will this suffice...

I'm thinking this should probably go under 'tools' but due to the time frame, I'm throwing it here in case someone needs one like I do, more likely to see it. I've installed several sets of bearings and races now "the hard way" and after realizing the value of my recently acquired air...

It's the pinion bearing race that you see when looking straight into the open pumpkin. It's gotten me down for hours! I tried freezing the race, but that hasn't worked. It's a bit cumbersome getting into the housing to try and drive it home as well. I'm going to try both freezing the race...

Why I have I been working on cars and bikes for over half my life without one? Good grief. I pulled the springs out of this today to cut a coil off and get rid of the 4x4 look and it took 2 hours. It would have been triple that without my new friend.

So the guy that did the tile in the bathroom my wife and I are renovating told me he had some cabinets for sale that were salvaged from a hospital. I get over to his shop (probably over 2000sq ft) and what do I see? He likes estate auctions and such, and has TONS of stuff (buys and sells)...
