    1940 Dodge's 20x20 Clutter Showroom

    Hey everybody here's my garage progress. It still ended up pretty cluttered, but the only solution to that is a BIGGER GARAGE! After having some awesome friends come and help out with the drywall I had this to work with. Spent a lot of time trying to figure out what color to choose. I...

    What do you use for a 'engine bay light'?

    Sandblasting? large items

    What do you all do for large items that need to be sandblasted? I have running boards and large panels on a 1940 dodge that are caked in surface/borderline damaging rust. Face masks always fog up on me and none of these parts would fit in a 32"x18" cabinet. So for large volume parts, how do...

    Sandblast gun, what do you recommend?

    So I have one of the old king Sandblasting kits and am sick and tired of using that lever styled nozzle. It wears out my hand to keep it open and the consumable tips are way to hard to find. What else is out there? Ideally I'd like a gun styled nozzle similar to a paint sprayer, but I'm...

    Installing Air Lines for Compressor

    So I have copper 3/4" piping that I want to run along the walls in my garage. Do you all solder/"sweat" the pipes after you've mounted them to the wall itself or do you do everything on the floor then mount it?

    How do you find the rules governing modifications to your garage/house?

    I'm getting ready to finally paint my garage but now I'm at the point where I'm sanding all the drywall mud to make it look good and ran into this problem: I don't know if it's because they used ****** tape, or if it's something else but you can see how it split and is now hanging down. My...

    Natural gas radiant heat question

    I have 13ft ceilings in my 21x23 garage and have an opportunity to pick up a couple Roberts Gordon 80k btu tube heaters. I live in South Dakota and I would really love to install these as soon as possible, BUT, am I going to cook myself/my equipment? I'd only be using one and selling the...
