My twins are only 17 months old so hopefully this is a long long way off for me. Having said that, once I get a proper tool box I plan on inventorying all my tools on an Excel spreadsheet by product number with a description. Once I get that done I'll slowly add in prices. If nothing else I'm...

I'm pretty sure Red Head makes epoxy anchors. Available at Fastenal if you can't get them somewhere cheaper. Maybe try Zoro. http://www.itwredhead.com/adhesives.php

I picked up a Troy Bilt Power washer that the owner said wasn't working for $50. I cleaned the carb up, put in a new spark plug and she fires right up. Not the strongest power washer I've ever seen but hard to beat for $50.

When the office I used to work out would get ready to throw out a chair that had a good bottom seat but the arm rests or something was broken I'd take it. I just take off the top section and the arm rests. Then I've got a nice little stool I can adjust the height on and wheel around on...

One reason I keep a little .38 Special in a small drawer. While I'm in my own garage we had a guy get robbed and beaten badly while out in his garage a few miles from my house. My garage has AC so most of the time the door is closed, but you never know. Better safe than sorry.

Here is mine. It's more of a tool cart. I had a Harbor Freight 44" box but I was outgrowing it fast and with a new set of twins getting funds approved for a toolbox was hard. I was working at a company that was in the process of shutting down and we had a tons and tons of metal shelving...

I have a metric and SAE set of the Wright Tool ratcheting flare nut wrenches. They work very well and I hardly ever use my traditional style flare nut wrenches any more.

I have mostly shelving in my garage/shop. Therefore, mine are organized in blue plastic storage bins.

I got all of this from an older lady in my neighborhood that was selling off her father's old tools. He had a lot of USA Craftsman stuff but I left most of that for someone else. I got all of this for $65. The light is a great shop light and folds up so you can wheel it around in its little...

As odd as it sounds whoever built my house decided to pay to have the garage ceiling not only painted, but also textured to match the ceiling texture of the rest of the house. I had to knock a lot of holes recently for running air lines and some electrical outlets and I wound up slipping off a...

Not sure about common problems but here is the manual for the Quincy 210. I can tell you from my experience with buying an air compressor at auction, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I tore in to mine to tune it up and I should have just ran it as is...

My manual says 1/2" and I have a little over that. I spoke to a friendly compressor mechanic today and he said he thinks one of three things happened: - I might have mixed up the cups that the piston connecting rods bolt to and hold on to the crankcase with. He said they aren't...

Man I wish I could post an end result! So before I took everything apart the compressor was building up pressure easily. Now I took everything back apart (2nd time) and put it back together and the oil leaks did go away but now I it isn't building any pressure. It seems as though the...

Thanks for the input. I did some research and agree that it may not actually fill with water until I opened the outlet valve. Therefore I think I'll probably just rig something up where I can drain it from inside the garage. I'll follow up with my final solution once I figure it out for future...

I've got a large air compressor and I've got an idea for a tank drain that I wanted to post about before I started construction on it. Right now their is a normal drain on the bottom on the tank but I have the air compressor mounted in a little sound enclosure shed behind my garage and I don't...

You could always buy their set-up with the manual pump and then add an electric air pump later on if you wanted to upgrade. http://www.snaponindustrialbrands.com/Cat-20-1-390/electric-pumps-with-solenoid.htm

Here are some basic drawings of what I'd like to do. Currently my three car garage is setup like this: It has a nice sized carport in front of the garage that is under the same roof as the garage. On the side of the carport is a little breezeway that leads to a side door for our house and...

I decided that the 10' fab table was just too big for my garage so I took it out and now have plenty of room for my motorcycles and my K5 Blazer. I'm drawing up some plans right now to expand the garage and will post those in a bit. I pretty much just need to organize my shelving now.

The guy who was supposed to come get the table is delaying so I'm listing it as available again. Any way to change the title of my thread?

The table is sold pending funds so no worries.
