I am working in a 320 sq. ft. two car town home garage. So... space is at a premium. I have 16 inches total above the garage door, which I need to make use of. I previously re-purposed some wire shelves that I removed from a closet. They have proved to be quite sturdy. So I decided to use...

Saw this idea in Work Bench Mag. So tried to throw one together. Still need some doors, but need to get my hands on a table saw first. Did the first two sets with a circular saw and a rip fence attachement.... did not turn out great. The design in the magazine used three pull out wire...

I've got a few of the metal shelving units from HD and wonder if anyone has a good idea on how to put these things on wheels. So far all I've come up with is these dolly bases at Global Industries, I found with a google search. Is there a cheeper / more creative alternative...

Hi, Saw a post on the Jalopy Journal's message board, the H.A.M.B., about the Garage Journal and though I'd check it out. Very cool. Been doing a lot of fixing up to my garage and have bigger plans. This place will be of great help to me.
