From doing a bit of research and from replies on here it seems I don't need the "king posts" as they aren't doing much if anything. I will remove those and the long piece of timber that runs perpendicular to the rafter ties. I think it and the "king posts" were just used when constructing the...

It will mainly be used for storing junk to be honest! Yep that sounds about right. I wouldn't say I would be storing anywhere near a ton of stuff up there. Probably 500 pounds of stuff at most. There's no rebar. They are done like this: Probably about 500 pounds of stuff at most. Yes...

Thanks for that. So add more rafter ties? I.e. Currently they're at every other rafter, so put one at every rafter? Found another photo:

Hello, I had my 13' x 22' garage built during the summer. I paid attention to and specced most things apart from the roof. I neglected to think about storage up there. It seems my roof is built with 4 king posts which don't seem ideal for storage. What is the best way to remove these and...

Getting there!

Yep - "20V MAX" is exactly what it states - the maximum voltage that the battery can produce. In reality they are just 18V batteries. Batteries produce a slightly higher voltage when they are fully charged. Google "maximum vs nominal voltage" for a better explanation. I got it off an eBay...

Treated myself to a DeWalt DCF899 Impact Wrench. Rated as one of the best battery impact wrenches on sale. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Slider idea is excellent and very well executed!

Would like to put myself forward with this. Record No. 22 restored: From: To this:

I've just got a good deal for a "body only" DeWalt DCF899 as I've already got batteries and a charger from other DeWalt tools. Was £107 - approx. $133. Should arrive next week! It seems to be the "big daddy" of electric impact wrenches with a huge breakaway torque. Those other ones you posted...

Hello, I recently installed a Liftmaster LM650 EVO opener on my single skin steel roller garage door. Ever since installing the opener, the door has been quite loud when opening and closing. There is a definite creaking from the springs inside the roll and also some judder from the door when...

Thanks everyone for the comments. I'm really fond of the Record brand in general. Very heavy-duty and well-made tools. Thanks. Difference is jaw, opening, and general vice size:

Thought I would just add this to my existing thread. Bought a tired Record No. 24 Stillson and restored it:

1550Ringman - It's good to see another NI native on the forum. I've just had my first garage built and a lot of the building techniques were the same as yours. I had the inside of mine rendered too and it's the best decision I made! I'm on the lookout for a second hand scissor/mid-rise lift so...

Yes it seems this is a densifier. Is there no paint out there that would adhere to this surface? Many thanks.

Hello, I have just built a garage and have let the concrete floor set for a good few months now. I bought and applied a sodium-silicate based sealer yesterday for the dusty concrete: http://www.everbuild.co.uk/403-Concrete-Hardener-Dustproofer I worked really well as a sealer but I'm now...

Thanks for the comments. Yes I'm already looking for a smaller swivel vice to add to the other end of the bench. Possibly a Record Imp or even a 74 or 75.

Thanks. The roundel blue paint used is a match for the original paint used by Record :)

This is my contribution to the thread. Just restored an old Record No. 22 Vice: Restoration thread here: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=331531
