Fellas - Sold my Taiwan made drill press before I left Italy with the intent to buy another used one when we returned to the states. I've been looking off an on for a decent used one in/around San Antonio. Was a lot more difficult than I thought - lots of junk, plenty of overpriced ones, a...

Fellas - Recently picked up a '69 Bronco and figured I would start a build thread. It was an old hunting rig; had dog boxes in the back, seats on top of the boxes, has its share of dings and dents from cruising around in the woods. The good news is that it's quite solid, so hopefully I won't...

Fellas - After 20 years in the military, moving every 1-3 years, I'm finally ready to settle down in San Antonio and set up a real garage shop. More details here - https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=415913 I've got a 2 car garage, but have installed a 4 post lift in the...

Fellas - I have a Craftsman Professional top and bottom box that I've outgrown. They're 36" wide, 66.25" tall, and 21" deep. Sticker price on the bottom box is still there - $1299. I think the top box list price was $1049. Boxes have some scratches, but generally good condition. All...

Fellas - About to order some wall cabinets and I'd like some that can handle some weight, if needed. Example - these are fairly stout, but they weigh 88 lbs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J2RG7JM/?tag=atomicindus08-20 . Once filled with stuff, they will be well over 100 lbs. Anyone have any...

Fellas - I'm in need of some free standing cabinets (2' deep, 6' tall) and some wall mount cabinets (30" x 30" and 12" deep or something like that). Trying to figure out the hierarchy among brands. Is it something like this? EDIT: #4 being the highest quality. 1. Gladiator 2. Seville...

Fellas - After 20+ years in the military, moving every few years, I'm finally about to retire and I'm setting up my garage the way I want it. For the past 10 years, I've been using a 36" Craftsman Professional top (5 drawers, 12,036 cubic inches) and bottom (7 drawers, 17,153 cubic inches)...

So I'm watching an internet car show this evening (Roadkill Garage - Extra) and the hose is demonstrating a Milton hose crimper he just bought - must be this one - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000I0QC2C/?tag=atomicindus08-20. Nice piece of gear. He used it to crimp an air hose that had been jury...

Fellas - I need to put some blinds up on the two windows in the garage. They have arches at the top. Here's a lousy picture - The windows are 65" tall by 35" wide + the arch. I had planned to use inexpensive vinyl blinds, but I don't know how I should cover up the top arched portion...

Fellas - Was quite surprised to get a $4000 estimate yesterday for wiring additions and upgrades for my 21' x 23' attached garage with 11'6" ceilings. Here's the garage - nothing too fancy. Here's the sub panel in the garage. Bid included an additional panel next to this one. The bid...

Fellas - Nixed my previous plans for detached garage. Now I'll be spending my spare time in the attached garage, which is 21.5' x 23'. Here's a pic. Please excuse the mess; still have to paint the floor, get my pallet racks here and installed, add the 4 post lift, etc, etc. Here's what I...

Fellas - 400+ sq ft attached garage. 30 years old. Etched with muraitic acid a week ago. Now ready to putt down 3 coats of Hellfire but I have a lot of cotton like fibers that keep reappearing. Had a lot of fibers yesterday but swept and mopped. After mopping fibers seem to reappear...

Fellas - Need to install some anchors in my garage floor. I frequently have project cars that need to be moved in and out, and these aren't always running. It's a bit of an incline to get into the garage and there's a lip to get over, of course. Yesterday it took 4 of us to get my 68 GTO...

Fellas - We recently bought a house in San Antonio; it's undergoing some renovations and we'll move in sometime in June. I will be retiring from the military in the next few years, and this will be our "forever" house. House is stucco with concrete tile roof; here's a pic from several weeks...

Fellas - After moving all over the world for the past 20+ years with the military, wife and I finally bought a "forever" house in San Antonio. Had initially planned to build a detached garage/workshop, but now the plan is to take over the attached garage, which is about 22' x 22'. Currently...

Fellas - I have had a Milwaukee corded sawzall for about 10 years. It's always been difficult to get the sawzall to hold the blade. The blade seats all the way, but the male portion in the reciprocating head of the saw does not appear to fit into the female portion of the blade. I can...

All - Selling my Parker 600 vise. Good working condition. 8.5" jaws and weighs several hundred pounds. Late 1800's vintage, I believe. $1050. Cash or will consider vintage chainsaw trades. See pics here -...

All - I'm active duty military and have been moving every year or two since 1997. I've been using plastic garage shelves since then. They hold a reasonable amount of weight and are easy to break down and move. Now that I'm about to retire, we're buying a house (close next week) and I'm...

Fellas - In the process of buying a house and installing a 600 sq. ft. garage (22' x 27'?) adjacent to the house. The contractor was out at the house a few days ago talking electrical service. I need to tell him what I need for a sub panel. Maybe something like 100 amps with 24 possible...

All - I'm in the planning stages of building a 600 sq/ft shop. Will likely be 22' x 27' with 12' high walls for 7,128 cubic feet. It has to match my house, so the exterior will be stucco and the roof will be terra cotta tiles. Interior will be finished - sheetrock on the walls. The shop is...
