    primer or paint (bare plywood)

    Hey all, I'm wanting to paint (black) a wall in the garage that is bare plywood. Now I know that primer is the correct way to go, but I have none and funds are seriously that low. What I do have is more than enough flat white paint from the previous owner, enough to give it 20+ coats if need...

    Why is TV better in the garage?

    Has anybody else noticed this or is it just me? I recently hooked up my old 27" tube TV in the garage and have watched Scarface, Resivior Dogs, and Sucker Punch, all seen on much better setups.......OMG, why is it so much better now? The screen ***** and the sound is adequate, but it's 50x...

    1/2" to 1/4" Router bit reducer?

    Hey all, I was looking for a 1/2" router bit set but they all seem to be about double the price of their 1/4" counterparts.

    'Hidden' gun safes?

    Finally all moved into my new house! That's the good news, the bad news is my gun safe couldn't go upstairs, and I'm tired of watching my kids climb on it so I opted to put it in the sanctuary of my garage. As you may know, garages have big doors and when open the world can see what is in your...

    Homemade bars, cantinas, drinking tables, etc?

    I'm sure this has been brought up before, but I cannot find any threads on this subject, yes I used the search function. So can someone point me to an existing thread, or just run with this one? Just trying to get ideas on making my own cheap custom one vs getting a cheap one off Craigslist...

    Loooooonnnnnng time lurker from SoCal

    Hey all, just want to say it's good to finally be posting, after 5+ years of lurking it felt weird to just watch. I found this great place through Jockey Journal, back when times were good I had a small revolving stable of bikes. Here's a couple pics of my humble garage back when the toys...
