    Building garage cabinets

    I'm going to take a stab at attempting to build some garage cabinets. Through a discount gift card site and a Lowe's 10% off coupon, I scored a DeWalt DWE7491RS for $480 out of pocket. Going to be ordering the dado insert from Amazon today as well. What are y'all recommendations for blades...

    1996 Ford F-150 Rock Crawler Build

    Have a truck I don't drive anymore, and a whole bunch of spare parts laying around, so I decided to start throwing them together as well as a few new parts. :rocker: Quick run-down of everything so far... Started with a 1996 F-150 I purchased about 4 years ago for $1900. Was a single cab...

    Garage Wall Prep for Paint

    GIJoe's rental 2-car

    WTB/WTT Sockets

    Looking to fill in my missing sets. Would prefer to keep it in the Proto line-up of brands (Proto, Challenger, Fleet, P&C, Tru-Test, etc), but will consider anything USA made, non-Craftsman. Got quite a few things I'm missing, but I'll update it as purchases/trades are made. 1/4" drive...

    Does anyone else...

    ... buy specific sockets that you'll never use, just so your socket racks don't have empty spots? I hate opening a drawer and seeing empty pegs on my Westling Machine racks. Do I need a 6-point 3/8" drive 11/32 socket? Probably not... But that spot is empty and it drives me nuts! Evil-bay...

    Picked up a bench grinder

    Can anyone tell me anything about it? Says Chicago Power Tools. Its a hoss. I have all the guards for it in a bag, and it also came with an old Blue Point drill bit sharpener attachment. Set me back $62.

    Learning to spray auto paint

    Any tips, tricks, or youtube videos you guys can recommend? I picked up a Sata 3000B at a pawn shop yesterday for $140. Buddy of mine says I got a pretty good deal. Going to be using it to spray a 1969 F100 in the future.

    USA made pawn shop score!

    Not sure if this qualifies for the desired "you ****" that everyone seems to want, but I just picked up, IMHO, a decent pawn shop score. I'm definitely happy with it! 23pc SK wrench set. Missing the 18mm though. Rest are like new. $50 Proto 1/2" drive sockets from 3/8" to 1-3/16". Used...

    New here

    I'm new here. Don't have a garage.... yet. Am hoping to purchase my first home next summer, and a garage/shop is one of the must haves in my purchase. I've been on this site for a while, just as a serious lurker. I like checking out other people's setup. Get info on good deals for tools...
