That would be awesome. I wish someone near me had such a forge; I'd give them all my scrap and ask them to make me a machete or something. I don't think you can ever have too many edged items.

"k" means "thousand". Borrowed from the metric. $8k is 8000 dollars.

There should really be a sticky for this topic. Here are a couple of old threads that have good info: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=446 http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2998 And this one even has a well-considered layout for consideration...

I think you would be better off if you picked up some of those magazines with house plans in them, and looked for the ones that would fit your approximate square footage (looks like about 1500 sq ft?). This would help to give you an idea of space usage and functionality of layout. You could...

You could snag one of those oscillating multi-tools on sale. The ones with the multiple blades that you swap out for different uses.

I've been tasked with finding one of these as a gift from my mother to my father. She saw some on one of those HSN shows or something, and she thinks it's something he'd like, which he probably will. Does anyone have one of these, or have any recommendations? This particular type has the...

Good price on these. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000R4H75U/?tag=atomicindus08-20 This is for an 8'; if you need the double it's $20 from the same seller.

Amazon "Lightning Deal" I have two sets of these, and don't have any quibbles with them. Looks to be a very limited time left (about three hours). http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00026Z3E0/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Not a huge savings, but 5 bucks is 5 bucks.

http://www.harborfreight.com/automotive-motorcycle/lifts-stands/1250-lb-capacity-mechanical-wheel-dolly-67287.html I have four of these to move around a 1965 Mustang project with full interior and engine, on an epoxied floor. Admittedly, I don't move it often, but these work well for me.

Here are links to a couple of really old threads that might be useful: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2998 http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=446 Always thought they should have been stickied.

Yeah, I guess I wasn't very clear. I'm not talking about the machine work clamp, I'm talking about grounding the workpiece itself. "According to ANSI Z49.1, "Safety in Welding, Cutting and Allied Processes," the workpiece or the metal table that the workpiece rests upon must be grounded. We...

I did a search, but didn't turn up what I was looking for. If you aren't able to weld on a table, how do you ground the piece you're working on? My brush cutter is far too big and heavy. What methods do you use?

For electronic bits, I like these folks: http://www.mouser.com/ I was able to order minimum quantities of capacitors to fix a dead monitor. Radio Shack doesn't even carry the quality of parts I needed, plus they're way overpriced.

You could try cutting a section out of a PVC elbow. Not sure how easily you could paint it, and it probably wouldn't look much different than what is showing now. Not too sure how you'd attach it either, but maybe this will give you an idea to start with.

One (1) can of WD-40. Last week it was a pair of Klein long-nose pliers. That was much more exciting. You should have asked me then.

This is along the lines of what I'm talking about. On all these organization sites I look at, they talk about identifying and categorizing all the uses of the space, and my garage has enough that I get a bit overwhelmed. Did you use a process of some kind, like making a list and deciding what...

I'm trying to get my head around the idea of all the multiple uses my garage has, but I'm having trouble making categories. As an extension of my home, it sees use as a workspace, storage, and sometimes even parking. I'm hoping that this will help me better organize the space and make more...

A nice lady named Kristi told me mine should be here around Friday. As we like to say down South, "Yeeeehaaa!" Big thank you to Skamp!!

I'll take lot E off your hands (wrenches). PM sent.

I don't believe that is correct. The rough opening should be the same as the door size. Garage doors, unlike conventional hinged doors, are not set in a frame, but sit flush to the inside face of the opening, with stop molding along the outside perimeter of the opening. I can't imagine why...
