    Between 265 & 485 SQ/FT The 12-Gauge Garage

    Jack, is the band saw for metal or wood? And if it is metal cutting who made it, looks like a tidy setup. I was glad to see you replaced that cabinet with drawer unit, I love all my Lyons drawer units. I find them great for parts storage, when dealing with 30-40 year old cars, parts storage...

    Painting the Garage....

    Okay first off I am not a big fan of benches and I have 30 feet of them, LOL, they gather junk to easily and look like **** all the time. One thing I can say is cover the electrical box with something, right now it detracts from the overall nice picture. I actually added a bench to the top of...

    Brake light question.

    I would go with the a couple of items here. Sensor under the cap, since you did a crappy bleed gravity could have helped you out over the past month and your fluid is low.

    Power and speaker wiring on garage door..

    You using a wood or fiberglass door by chance? A plug would be my choice as no risk of a possible arc strike. And a switch to cut the circuit if your using the hot rod door buttons, they where designed for 12V low amp situations. 110V will arc across a gap, and depending on your door makeup...

    Angle iron corner joints

    I use a cheap Miter saw with a Metal cutting blade, not the abrasive blades but a toothed blade. I can make angle cuts to about a degree of accuracy. Best of all it is fast, minimal sparking, and well cleanup is a bunch of small chips. I currently have a 7" unit, as it will cut everything I...

    This will Make you feel Inferiour

    Some look fake, I know Richard's place is a real garage, unfortunately he details his garage better than I do my cars.
