I am at the Restore yesterday making my weekly run, checking the bin of sockets for any new additions besides the usual imported ****. Sometimes I find a handful of snapon for 25 cents a piece but not this week. Next to me is a guy looking at the shelf full of power tools. I see him pick up a...

I was just thinking we all know even the best tools can be dangerous when wore out or used improperly. We also know that cheap tools from Harbor Freight, Princess Auto, and the like may not get the job done as efficiently or as effectively as the best tools. I was just wondering if you all...

Hey Guys, I am installing the Rapidair 3/4" maxline kit to run new airlines and drops through the shop and have been pondering one thing- I have a regulator/filter combo that in the past has worked satisfactory at best in removing moisture from the air. I am not about run iron pipe or spend...

Hello, I had a new home built last summer. The whole process from planning to moving in was very painless and I'm happy to say the builder truly delivered all that was expected. The builder offers a one year warranty on the home and I am compiling a brief list of corrections: -a handful of...

So I have been busy piecing together mostly complete sets of sockets and wrenches from my collection of random tools I have bought at yard sales over the years. I have a storage building and would like to keep a complete set of tools out there, as well as a set down in the basement, plus...

Hello, If you're a Sconnie and looking for a great deal on a like new older Craftsman block grinder with stand and light, check this listing. I'd be all over it if I did not already have a grinder.

Hello, I am installing a hose reel in my garage and looking for input on the best location. Hopefully you are able to see the attachment, I'm no computer guru. My initial thought was location "B" on the shared sidewall of the garage and house. The compressor lives in the basement so I plant...

Was at home Depot yesterday and spotted it. Thought it was a pretty good deal. Veteran's discount will get a Dewalt 20 volt drill, with 2 lithium ion batteries, case and a charger for 90 bucks. I know I spent near that just getting a pair of replacement batteries for my 18 volt dewalt a few...

Was at the dentist the other day and found myself eyeing up the light that they have mounted to the ceiling on the adjustable arm for inspecting your mouth. I got to thinking how great that might be over the workbench- can be pushed up out of the way when not used and directed on the spot...

Please tell me if this is a harebrained idea or not...White rubber roof coating on the garage walls. In a month I break ground on a new house. I requested the builder leave the garage walls bare- no sheetrock. My plan is to insulate and put up plywood. I have a couple of floor drains with a...

Hello, Does anyone have any experience with a downdraft table? If I'm working out in the garage in the summer, I really don't care if everything gets covered with dust from wood or metalworking, its easy to vacuum. Winter, my basement serves as the workshop because its heated. Dust gets over...

Hello, while not directly garage-related, I am building a house this spring that is attached to my garage, so I'm sure that I'm not too out of line posting my question here. I have a decision to make- have the plumber put in an electric water heater or spend $1029 more to have a gas (propane)...

http://teamspeed.com/forums/997-996-turbo/41978-doin-wrong-launch-control-style.html Read this story, and got to thinking what I would do if I were the dad...or the kid. Anyone do anything similar in their younger years?

Hi guys saw this on craigslist, and I WANT to need it. I don't REALLY need it though, so I am just passing it along. Any thoughts on what it was for originally? The price seems reasonable enough, probably very expensive when it was new. Maybe someone on hear might be interested, let me hear...

Hello, Just trying to figure out what to do, and thought you guys might offer some suggestions. I have (or had) a set of vintage 1950's metal kitchen cabinets with a couple layers of paint on them. I took the doors and drawers into a company that specializes in sandblasting and coating. I...

Greetings, and thanks to all who have inspired this garage aficionado! I am in the closing stages of building my workshop (several years in the making) I am proud to say that every detail from the beveled wood siding, authentic log rafters, shiplap interior walls, and tongue and groove floor...
