Great idea. Now where's this messy garage of which you speak?

Oops

What? Cement is the grey powder that makes the cured product hard. Concrete is cement, sand, rock and water. Are you referring to the thickness of the slab or foundation? Simpson also makes a great product. My local box store has a nice selection in stock. Great score on the steel op.

First I've seen of this thread. Nice job, and the satisfaction of doing it mostly by yourself is priceless. It took me pert near 2 years to self build 1,000 sq ft attached shop. No idea why the replies are thin, but with all the posts here they get on the 2nd and 3rd pages pretty quickly. Congrats!

Very cool design indeed! Never heard of a port cochere, but I do like it now. Good luck. Bob

A slab for...? Is it needed for code, or just over built like the was I do things? A little more info on the use of the slab and where you're located would help. If not needed to meet code, pretty much any spacing you'd like. I went with 18" with #3 bar in the slab and four #4 in the footing. Bob

Aw...poor puppy :( Nice gate! Jump into that tig, it's another level. You'll love it.

Maybe they consider it an anvil because that's what Wilton calls it. FEATURES Self-centering pipe jaws hold up to 2.5" pipe safely and securely Enclosed construction keeps lubrication in and contaminants out Locking swivel base with double lockdowns for non-slip hold in any position Alloy steel...

Re: Been missing my tig Thanks Robert. I should be taking possession of a used Miller this weekend, and start losing the shakes. Bob

Cool thread. Most folks just read the posts, and learn stuff. On the main page of topics/threads, it lists number of replies and views.

This grinder is one of my better buys. In December of 1988 I was looking thru the return and recon tools and spotted this never used grinder that had a cracked housing between the motor and wheel. They wanted $125 for it, but took my offer of $100. I believe retail back then was $199. So...

So Jack's garage is 20x22, 440 sq ft. Enough said. Build it!

Can you build two? Or three?

Been missing my tig I did some tig welding last weekend on the swing out door bars for my 69 mach one. Been years since I've used a tig, but I suppose it's like riding a bike. The tungsten was moving so much I thought I might have Parkinsons disease. Half my life ago at age 29, I could lay...

I too just found this thread. Very nice work indeed. Looks an apple and the tree thing going on! A tig at 16, nice reward! You sure sound like a good dad. Bob

If you have high frequency, why would you scratch start it, or how? Do you have rheostat (foot control)? Nice work btw! Bob

Very nice build on the table. Your high standards are obvious in the pics. I always enjoy stories where guys build their own stuff, be it tables, tools, shops or vehicles. I hope your shop stays busy Clyde. Bob

I park the daily driver in the garage. The shop is for the welder, lathe, mill and working on cars.

If I didn't have #3 rebar on 18" centers in my slab, I'd probably put one in my shop since it has an 8' ceiling.

Welcome, very cool house and property. I've got a brother who lives over in Round Rock. I just love hill country!
