I got the flux 125 for the small jobs where a portable welder is needed works great. I upgraded the ground clamp the original one is the weakest link.

I've had the Hobart 140. And currently have the 210 MVP. If you have 220v in the garage it will definitely be worth the being able to weld the thicker metal. Whatever you end up buying I recommend replacing the ground clamp. The manufacturer usually puts a lower quality ground clamp to save...

Worked on laying out benchtop tool receivers for my workbench.

I have 3 car garage 1 18' door and 1 10'. The 10 foot takes some effort to line up my old truck. The 18 foot you don't even have to think about pulling in with 1 car already parked on one side.

My whole workbench is coated in bed liner I'm very happy with it. Here's a link to my workbench build: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=408820

Sure. An extension spring on an old single slab garage door snapped when I was trying to adjust the linkage so the door would open all the way. Now I don't trust any extension or torsion springs. I now will eather encase them in something or use a cable ran through the center. Torsion springs...

I'm trying to not let this happen again.

I have 2 20# Badger abc extinguishers. On mounted to the wall in my welding and grinding area. The other one is on the workbench. Also I have a 2.5 gallon pressured water extinguisher at the door from the garage to the house. If that doesn't work I keep the insurance paid up.

Sounds like a great idea to me. Heck if you live in it for say 6-8 years you could possibly save enough to pay cash to have the house built and NO mortgage. Having no mortgage has opened up so many doors for my wife and I we plan on retiring early now.

Here you go 1955 Chevy truck

Thank you sir.

Awsome. Adding that jack is the way to go that's for sure.

I finally finished all the mods to my H.F. 20 ton press.

Hi all I just finished the overhaul of my old 20 ton. I put aluminum strips with adjustable teflon bushings, to take the slop out of the sliding section. Then I did the boat winch mod. To lift the work table. Since the bottom support s were damaged I rebuilt the whole bottom structure using the...

Repaired a picture frame for my wife. And sweated. It's 104f today.

I did some work on the Chainsaw......I hate ethanol fuel.

Welded a new lower section for my shop press.

I've had excellent luck with mine. Here's a link to my workbench build https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=408820

I love SK the Xframe wrenchs would look great in my tool box!

It sounds like we have similar tasks we use our workbenches for. I'm using some 5/8" steel plate 12' x 30" deep. As far as a tough inexpensive coating I'm using truck bed coating that I put on with a roller. So far it's held up really well. I also have some spray cans of it for touch up. I have...
