Welcome from the mountains of western NC! I’ll be watching along as well.. subscribed!

If the savings are minimal by going with the two smaller sheds, then I would prefer the one larger unit. However, with the two smaller ones you could set one up for wood working and one up for metal working....

I measured out my garage and started planning a redo of it all. Trying to use some of my existing tool benches and also incorporating some steel shelves and cabinets I just inherited... got it all measured and mapped onto some graph paper, now just gotta figure out where it all fits the best!

Also, make sure your box is rated for the cubic inches required for 3 12/2 romex’.... (20.25 cubic inches minimum). I wouldn’t recommend running exposed romex down the pole either, it’s unsafe.

My flag stays on the pole at the house and is only removed if replacing. I also have a flag from my grandfathers funeral, and the flag from my father in laws fineral, both in cases. Also have my blue line flag on my leather that I keep on the wall.

Love this thread! I’m on the hunt for metal cabinets too, I need to redo my garage.

Love the lamp!! I’m always collecting stuff to one day make a lamp with....

This is fantastic! I’ll be stealing some of your ideas for whenever I get to redo my shop!

Here’s another table saw I found in the old shop today... made ~1960’s, and I love the look of it. It stays in the family!

Well, I can’t post in classifieds due to post count...

Thanks guys! I’ll be listing the singer, the Reck Rack, and an old craftsman 3hp tablesaw for sale..

Okay, here is an oldie. I posted it a long time ago in my inherited tools thread, it’s called a “Reck Rack”. Blackhawk made it, and when I called the company about it, alls they could say was it’s old. (No s**t Sherlock) I’ll be listing it in the classifieds section, as I will have no...

I keep the Phillips version of the “whirlybird” in my toolpouch all the time. I use the cabinet tip version on trim out.... love my Klein Tools!

Just found that it’s a walking foot industrial sewing machine... value seems to be in the 5-7 hundred dollar range. Apparently it can sew leather...

So here’s the sewing machine: My FIL used to use it for vehicle upholstery... I am trying to find out what it’s worth, and maybe find it a new home....

Ok. A little update on the jack. I did the rebuild on the hydraulic unit (huge thanks to Hiball for all the info and help!): https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=371766 As for the reck rack, I am still unsure of what to do with it. It’s getting close to the time where I’ll...

Ok. So I ended up just draining it and removing it from the frame again. I opened the plug and there was a small chunk of crud blocking off the hole where the copper tube entered. There was a metal screen below it that was mostly occluded with gunk. Cleaned it all up, blew out the copper...

No I didn’t..... do I need to drain the unit again to open that up as well as remove the copper tube?

I followed the instructions that came with the kit... I opened everything that could be opened except for a small copper tube that ran between the ends. That’s probably the part you’re talking about. I never saw any magnet/filters though... I pulled the balls out with the weight...

After it sitting all weekend I’m confident that it’s good to go. The only problem I can see is pumping it up. First pump raises the saddle about an inch, if you immediately pump again it raises maybe an eighth to a quarter of an inch. But if you wait about 30 seconds between strokes it raises...
