Thanks everyone... KMScott- Yes it has been awhile, but I am back to working on the garage again! I had a chance for a free C3 and that really got me going. Your vise looks like it's holding up pretty good. There are some really good powders out there now and I have a bunch of them along with a...

Any Pictures of Powdercoated vises out there? I searched the thread....after reading the first 83 pages! ...and wondered why I have not seen any powdercoated vises. I have been powdercoating a lot of small parts lately, but other than a trailer hitch, nothing coming close to the mass of a...

For me it's not the cost but the time and effort always having to replace bulbs. When you factor in replacement bulbs and the occasional ballast replacement, (especially for those lights that are 15-20 feet up there)...it seems that the math above might need to be adjusted?? The last time I...

FORD licensed GAZ or Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod (Russia, Nizhny Novgorod), translated as Gorky Automobile Plant (Russian: ГАЗ or Го́рьковский автомоби́льный заво́д) to build Ford's in Russia. GAZ made a bunch of Fords in Russia in the 1930's! Here is a modified Ford AA truck in Action! The...

A regular (small) flour sifter works just fine. And yes, more voltage works better for larger areas. Here are a couple of my first projects with the used Harbor Freight gun and some left over powder that was in the box o stuff I got with it. There are a ton of youtube videos on powdercoating...

I started with a used HF set-up, and old toaster oven, and have had excellent results. I was all fired up and got a bigger oven to do wheels etc. and decided to upgrade to the Eastwood dual voltage gun for wheels etc. My general observations: 1) I have noticed is the Eastwood gun seems to have...

Welcome from the Third Coast! Looking forward to more pictures!

Welcome...from another Texan!

I just happen to be drinking a Scotch at the moment, so I will toast to you and a hardy Welcome to the GJ! Not being real sure of your application, maybe a concrete sealer will work best for your location, .....which look Awesome by the way!

That is a Farriers anvil, you can tell by the extra long face. $600 seems a little steep, IMHO. Also, that doesn't look like a 200 lb Farrier to me. It might be hard to tell due to scale from the pics. Not sure if you know this of not, but this anvil is for horse shoeing. ie; The Farrier is...

Funny...that was my first thought ! Yes, Beautiful Garage !!!!!!!!

No kidding! I think about that all of the time. Wine especially. I can get a decent bottle of wine cheaper that what it would cost me just to ship the empty bottle back. Yeah, yeah, I understand economies of scale and all that. We really are living in a "Golden Age." If you have the money and a...

You Bet! ...and welcome to the GJ!

I can't recall seeing the p-51...but I am guessing you are talking about something like these...

Thanks Tony! I went to Costco to just "Look" and well.........Couldn't resist for 279.00....It should fit under my bench perfectly!

I love those Pennzoil cans!!

I would leave it just the way it is! Something to be said for original patina... It looks great!

thanks for visiting. I'm kinda near 360 & 2222. Looking out the back we can see down 360 across the river out to West lake. As for swapping , I will swap just about anything. It changes from year to year. One year was V-8 flathead stuff with a Lincoln V-12 thrown in. Lot's of red wagons last...

OK. The lights are up! I found these LED lights at Home Depot for $36.00 each. It seemed like a good deal. I bought eight 4-footers to hang and four 2-footers to mount on the walls. I ended up only using six hanging from the ceiling and am very happy with the result. I like these lights alot...

Cool Tool! Will you be rebuilding any for the public? Spent some time getting organized in the shop...until I am ready to mount my bed, it seemed a shame to waste possible workspace. A couple of 2x4's and spare piece of MDF and ****.....a Model A workbench. I used a forstner bit to clear the...
