Got my two Vidmar cabinets stacked: Next to find the right size bolts to attach them, and done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finished cleaning and repacking the bearings on the drawers of this Vidmar cabinet. Started moving my (albeit meager) tool collection in! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

More work in the big red Vidmar. Started cleaning old gunked up bearings out with kerosene and repacking them with superlube. Got one drawer done, 4 to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Removing the casters and extra support the last guy welded on... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah no idea. I suspect whiskey was involved. Thankfully it had big ol' 8" casters welded to the bottom for moving it... :eyeroll: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Spent a couple hours grinding down the welds holding these two Vidmar cabinets together (idiot), then carefully cut the deeper parts with a cutoff wheel. After some more pushing and pulling and thankfully only a small amount of damage to the body of the cabinets, got them separated. I'll...

Vidmar toolbox I found in Craigslist for $100. Someone welded a top cabinet to a bottom cabinet and then welded casters on to it, but the welds are so bad I think a bit of grinding is going to let me separate them, refurbish them, and have storage good for a decade or so. Sent from my iPhone...

What did you do "IN" your garage today? Last few days: Added a Baltic birch plywood top to a rolling craftsman workbench that used to belong to my grandfather. This bench top came from a concrete yard and was used for forming cinder blocks on. It's probably 30 layers, 1.75" thick...

What did you do "IN" your garage today? Replumbed the fittings on my compressor (CH 6.25hp/30gal) and added a ball valve so I have a pre-regulator shutoff. Going to be replacing the pressure switch, regulator and gauges soon, wouldn't mind recommendations. Sent from my iPhone...

What did you do "IN" your garage today? Cleaned and oiled an old tire iron I got from a junker a few year back. Was going to put it in a piece of art but never got around to it. Found it on a scrap shelf today and decided to wire wheel it and oil it up nice. It says "Ken-tool G-23"...

Went and picked up some scrap for cheap: 100' of 1" X 3/16" bar stock (about 65" ea), and 100' of 1/2" x 1/8" (39" ea) Got a few welding projects in mind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pulled out the plasma and cut 4 table leg plates for my welding table. 3/8" plate, 4.5 x 3.75 to bolt some recovered Vidmar casters to. Will drill them out before mounting once I have the casters in hand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: What did you do "IN" your garage today? Hi John, Yeah I think of it as the front just because it points toward the front of the garage! :silly: The saw is a cheapo craigslist Ryobi, and the stand I had was too wide at the base and hard to move. This will make it easier to move...

What did you do "IN" your garage today? Built a stand/box for my table saw, mostly so it has a slightly smaller footprint and to catch saw dust. Put a slanted price of drywall in it to direct the dust to the front, where eventually I'll out an outlet for the vacuum. Next I'll add...

Printed this out to hang above my welder. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love it - got it for a grand a couple years ago on CL and it's been great. Not a high end machine but all the power I need. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
