Don you just be sure to provide very close supervision of your "helpers"... half of them (including myself) aren't up to the tasks at hand to your level of quality. Lot's of "scrub washers" and "sanders" of rusty stuff here, but probably not many actual "restorers". (not trying to put anyone...

Are the plywood edges sealed with epoxy as well? If not, shouldn't they be? It's just a curious question, not critical, as it's beautiful work and design. I just thought that boat wood work has a total encapsulation mantra for epoxy work. No? The one screw block underneath is smart thinking...

You're welcome, it seems you've cut back by at least 33%...hard for me to believe you and I have the same number of bikes* and the same manufacturer ratio numbers when my garage is not even 5% the size of yours. Of course I can barely get around in mine and you can throw parties in yours. I'll...

I do...pretty good with certain exceptions. Slightly sand or grind the flat ends of the handle hex keys to give them sharper edges that will bite into the screws....only use the ball ends for speed removal of already loosened screws. You may be tempted to use a ball end in a deep place and you...

Yeah right, just pretend to be reviewing a HF hoist when in reality you just wanted to make us all machine tool jealous. Mission accomplished! Hate beam aimed at your cactus, let us know when it dies. :moon: regards, Joe King😇

I'd check ebay to see what your competition is. I just checked and the lowest priced one with the aluminum H frame was $175. The value is always higher if the seller is patient...because usually an impatient buyer will come along....eventually.

:censored: 🤫 😇

I like this one a lot, but I didn't really understand any the others ...well maybe the motor stand from fan bases but would have been better if it had some of the motors in it...not sure why one would need a stand for motors either....anyway the file cabinet one is the only one I could probably...

There are some that would throw gasoline on a fire...I'm thinking Steve might just be one of those peeps. .....Wait was that Gregor I saw looking at broken cement mixers on Craig's List with a big mixing bowl in mind?:ROFLMAO:

I like the foam cone sanding idea for cheap and effective. Before reading that, the first thing that popped into my head was using a large (obviously larger than 1.5") step drill and just lightly touch the edge with whatever the next step over 1.5" is on the drill...probably 1.625". But yes...

Yeah probably so.....no doubt my ideas are why my garage looks that way..."bush" I mean (aka bush league). Continue on Don...those pedal planes look great up there!

Well, here I go once again sticking my nose where it doesn't belong....or rather typing when I should be out in my garage cleaning. Well both. So is there any chance that the wall can be modified with an opening and a light mounted (red dot on 2nd photo) or maybe ceiling mounted to shine...

I know I should be biting my tongue..er...rather biting my keyboard instead of typing, at least until we see the wall project complete...but it's hurting me down somewhere deep inside to see that plywood blocking the tall Texaco sign. I can't be the only one? Patience grasshopper ...Don will...

Hey let's not assume, all of my 4-6 month fantastic relationships started with singular dates. It was that one time when it wasn't even really a date (can my sister get a ride with you?) that hooked me "'til death do us part". so repeating....

My first thought was that the back side of that wall needs to have a scenic or perhaps small town landscape painted on it so the view from inside the gas station isn't of just a painted wall. Then I realized since the wall is already in place that a very large poster could be painted and slipped...

Ha! he said pi symbol....my segue.. So with all this vernier talk here, has anybody used Pi tapes to measure diameter. Pretty sure they are available in metric too but we used inches years ago when I worked at Westinghouse making gas turbines for power generation. I guess now they make them...

I hope she appreciates the way you slave away for her always putting yourself second like that.:ROFLMAO: :LOL:

I'm not sure if it will work, and I don't know what tools you'll be hanging there....but ...you might try putting the second bar at an angle to the first one...this would accommodate shorter extensions at one end and might stop tools rolling sideways across the bars (problem #2) since there...

Not meaning to step on any toes here (bad intended pun) but, you do realize that even with the blurring, Pines :evil: :drool: 😈 has already saved that second shot of your daughter into his personal Favs folder. Right?

I agree that is neat. However, the neatest thing is having a ceiling that high in the garage.....what is that about 14ft high? I'd have more cool stuff (and a lot more regular stuff) too If my garage had a 14ft ceiling instead of only 8ft. I only had heat/AC/insulation envy when I first...
