    Hey guys, I don't know much about woodworking so bear with me. I have discovered the practice of repurposing. I have an almost unlimited supply of old furniture that my neighbors are regularly throwing out in the alley. Almost always, there is some kind of finish, whether it be a stain or...

    Craigslist Freebie

    I actually scored this a month or so ago, but just now am figuring out how to upload photos, so I thought I would share it here.

    Setting up a parts washer

    I recently discovered that we have a brand new Graymills 16 gallon parts washer at the hospital that no one has taken the time and effort to set up yet. I thought it would be a good thing to have up and running, so I am taking it on myself to set it up. Okay, I admit it, I have a selfish motive...

    I am trying to find ways to create more storage in our townhouse so that the garage can be used as my shop only.
