    My fabrication shop. YEAH!

    I love the cabinets! Very cool build with lots of great looking and functional ideas.

    James66gs 2 car garage gets started

    Looks like a good idea so far. I'd definitely invest in some good overhead cabinets though, as already stated. Looks like most of your floor space is recreational, the overhead areas would be perfect for extra storage, cleaning supplies, parts, etc. I like the corrugated lower wall covering...

    My restored New England garage WITH HEAT!

    Looks great! The beadboard adds a nice finish to the interior. I find drywall is hard to accent, especially in white but that works wonderfully. I never noticed it at our hardware store, I'll have to take another look. Is it different from the more common panel board you see most of the time?

    When is big too big? (ebay)

    That is far too big for me, but I do love the way it looks! I'm like you, I'd prefer to have multiple smaller boxes, spreading my tools out to their specific areas of use as opposed to one central hub with EVERYTHING tucked away. That isn't too say I wouldn't happily accept it, fill it with...

    Weekend project: 40A service to my garage

    I really don't want to, but I don't see any other reasonable solution. :P I think I'm going to pickup some deeper outlet boxes, just to give me a bit more room for the wire nuts.

    Weekend project: 40A service to my garage

    Well I finished up the run and converted to the Romex in the pass-through from the outside wall. (I need to recharge my camera so I can take some pictures) I'm now working on the wiring inside for the wall outlets and overhead outlets for the lamps. I believe I have everything sorted, except...

    Our VW garage.

    That's a great looking Beetle mate! :bounce: That's a beautiful 911. I yearn for a 72' with a newer air-cooled 3.6L. *someday* I promised myself a rat rod first, and I owe my wife a classic Mini somewhere in there too.

    Welcome to my little garage!

    That is very cool nimrod. I have been collecting images from HAMB to inspire me when I can afford to make a historical looking, yet modern functionally garage. You have executed your garage with an air of perfection and style. I love the wood floor, in place of concrete. Does it have a concrete...

    1925 Snap On dealer tool display box

    I couldn't ever justify spending that much on such an item. It doesn't contain any of the original tools, which would be 70% of the idea to begin with and worse then that the enclosure itself is quite mangled in areas.

    Turning my 24x30 Garage into a Shop...

    Looking good so far. I'll have to look into the SIP panels as it would seem like they could insulate better than R19. I'm curious thought about the walls as it looks like you just painted the OSB. what made you decide against finishing with drywall? Edit: Just saw the post with the final OSB...

    Motorcycle tools

    The Triumph kit comes with 80% of what one would need to do most repairs. Including a large hex key for the swing arm retainer. :wtf: Factory includes: -Coil-over spanner -2 in 1 socket 'tube' -13mm flat wrench + ext. handle -3x hex keys -Channel-locks I supplemented it with: -LED...

    Started a 35x40 shop this week

    Very cool! I like the S14 too, anymore information on it? Looks like it has some drag wheels resting on the rear, so I'm betting it is a fair distance from stock. I miss mine, they are wonderful cars.

    My None Better socket set!!

    Very cool! Never seen those before but it looks like a neat set. Are you going to keep it in the original box or move them to a tool chest? I'm sort of fighting myself with that problem at the moment. I have some S-K and Indestro socket sets in their original cases, but I prefer to keep my tools...

    What cable for voice, maybe data?

    Cat-5e/Cat-6 would be perfect. I'd run redundant lines as well in case you expand or have a cable pair go bad down the road. (May have already been stated) Why not go to VoIP instead of continuing with POTS? Your voice can be sent across the data path and lots of additional versatility can be...

    Identify these tools (Old machinist stuff)

    I'm pretty good with rebuilding things and would actually prefer to find tools to restore, so the idea of them being worn or in need of repair doesn't worry me. I really only want a single standing press, the gang press just looked interesting and I wanted to know more about it. If it'd be less...

    Identify these tools (Old machinist stuff)

    Whats the intention of a gang press as opposed to just a single unit? Having multiple bits already loaded for 'assembly line' type work?

    Identify these tools (Old machinist stuff)

    Hey guys, I'm hoping you might help me find out a bit more about these tools I'm looking at purchasing. Both are vintage and are not real clear of origin as the current owner knows little about them. The first item is a multi-head drill press (gang press?). The second item is a mill...

    Ford Shop Manuals, SPX-Miller Tools

    Very good, thankfully mine was a verbal learning from another person's mistake that I just happened to be present for. :( I was hoping they were SK. Shame I missed the larger one.

    Ford Shop Manuals, SPX-Miller Tools

    Also, who is the manufacturer of the knurled handle ratchets. I'm quite interested in those as well. :)

    Ford Shop Manuals, SPX-Miller Tools

    Do you have the paper manuals for a 1990 Ford Bronco? Do you also have the associated electrical wiring manual? If so, how much...
