    Metric sockets

    I'm finally filling out my box so I can stop robbing from my on the go tool bag. I'm looking for a bunch of metric sockets, ideally US made (feels like an oxymoron for metric tools). I'd love to get groups instead of piecing it together 1 by 1. ¼ Shallow 4.5,14, 15 Deep 4.5, 5, 5.5, 9, 11, 12...

    mid-rise screw jacks?

    Hi all, already loving my MaxJax. I've got some projects coming up where a screw jack or potentially a mid height jack stand would make life easier. Is there a screw jack that works in the 24"-48" range?

    Where to buy my lift from SWPA

    I'm located near the PIT airport and I've got some budget for a lift this summer. I think the best options for my space 14'x24'x10' (although vaulted ceiling) and 5" thick 4000psi pad is going to be a portable 2 post. So I'm between a maxjax or a C7000, it looks like I could get the maxjax with...

    Fireball Compact Hardtail Vise

    I'm Vise shopping and the 6.5" compact hardtail from Fireball is on my radar, seems like a decent price compared to Wilton and some other new offerings. That being said I'm thinking it might just be too much vise for my workbench (8'x2' made of hemlock and pictured below). Any thoughts? Should I...

    Insulating small 14x24 shop

    Hi all I've finally got electric going in next week and a 12k btu mitsubishi mini split a couple of weeks later in my 14x24. I've let scope creep get away from me a bit, initially it was built with a ridge vent and I was going to use baffles and batts to insulate some, but with the mini split I...

    Between 265 & 485 SQ/FT My dream suburban 1-car

    To keep it short my partner and I found basically a dream home, still sort of close to town for friends and family with a backyard that is a cliff down to a small stream and a 70 mile long rail trail. The house had a modest 2 car garage 20' wide 21' deep and I wanted to build a 1 car stall to...

    Between 265 & 485 SQ/FT Anyone out there with a small 2 car garage?

    So I'm moving again and back to Pittsburgh. Since I'll be working from home I wanted to live at least sort of downtown. I'm considering putting in an offer on a townhome with a 17'4" wide 18'6" deep garage with 7'6" ceilings. At least for now I'll be parking a C7 corvette and L494 Range Rover...

    Slomaro's detached 22x34

    Hey all, I've mostly been lurking for the last year. I moved from Iowa and my small 2 car (https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=330489) to Michigan and an even smaller 17.5'x17.5' 2 car April of 2018. It ***** not having the space to tinker, so I closed on a house last month...

    Slomaro's small 2-car

    So I might as well start this, I finally bought a house (there was another thread on that) and it has a smallish 20.5x23 ft (on the inside) garage. Thought I could post some progress. I got way more suburban than I wanted to with this endeavor, but what neighborhood doesn't need a single 25...

    Storage Shed on Steel joists?

    I just put in my order for a Tuff shed and instead of the treated wood joists I let myself be upsold to their mid range sheds with galvanized steel joists. The salesman was confident that the shed will last for many decades. I'm really curious if anyone here has had good or bad luck with that...

    How big do I really need?

    Hi Everyone! Long time lurker here, never joined because I haven't had a proper garage since I left my parents house for college ~7 years ago. Moved from Pittsburgh to Cleveland to Florida's space coast to San Diego, no way I could afford a house in San Diego. But work has led me to Iowa...
