This would be really helpful in my garage!

As expected I got busy getting the 914 ready for the summer and a show a friend of mine puts on every year. My son and I worked non stop for almost an entire week but we got the first drive in with the car the night before the show. To be able to share that with my 13 year old son was definitely...

I spy an empty bottle of LeMans on your shelf, you'd think the guy who makes it would send you some more!! lol

Thanks, it has literally been a dream of mine to build a house out there since I was in high school and worked at the marina just down the road. Thats actually the Ryobi pressure washer. I do like it for what it is. I plan on putting Matt's custom on wall setup in my new garage though. Yes the...

What was I thinking, the 914 should have been the first picture I posted!! I'll post two, the day i rescued it from a barn where it had sat for many years and one from a couple of months ago. I will update this in a couple of weeks with a picture of how I plan to keep it for a year or two.

Well fellas, no surprise here but i have done a terrible job keeping things up to date on this thread. We haven't built yet but a lot has happened including completely different floor plan and garage layout. So here is an update from my last post until now. Well as everyone told us building a...

Glad you decided to go with the name I suggested on Instagram, it really suits it. I know these videos are a ton of work but I know to some of us they are much appreciated and very impactful. Just as an example I had no desire for a table saw in my shop until your unisaw video and guess what...

The man door does actually come from the shop, because of the layout of the house thats where it has to be. luckily though there is a drop zone and half bath just inside the door to keep the mess down (hopefully). These plans were actually from an architect and then we are tweaking them and...

The single door side would be my "shop" and would have a scissor lift in the floor and vaulted ceiling. It is slated to be 20' wide and 26' deep currently. I was thinking a slot drain down the middle of the double bay for water and plan on doing swisstrax flooring in the whole garage. Also...

Hey Gents, So as the title says this thread is all about my new garage that will also have a new home attached to it. To give a little bit (or a lot) of background my wife and I bought our current home about four years ago. It was a new build spec home in a subdivision in my hometown. I loved...

That slab may be a bit large for this method but I had great luck with a set of concrete steps that I used non-explosive demolition compound on. Here is a link to my wife and I's blog where we documented the process. https://followingourrainbows.blogspot.com/2014/08/front-porch-project-begins.html

I had thought about that when assembling everything but the way i plan on storing it along the wall between two cabinets I wouldn't be able to park it in there. If it causes any issues I will rotate it and figure out a different storage solution. Thanks for the suggestion. Thanks for the tip...

Well tonight will be another quick update. With the extreme cold temps here in the midwest all of the delivery services have been suspended so I am still waiting on some final bits to finish up the saw. I was able to spend a few hours out in the garage today but mainly cleaning and painting an...

You are a terrible influence Slupie!! lol

You may be right, I may just use it as is and enjoy it for the used tool it is. If I have trouble with the Colonite transferring I will pick up some of that Johnson wax thank you for the suggestion. Yeah I was worried how machining it would throw off the miter groves, If I still had access to...

Tonight is going to be a short post because of a very early start time at work tomorrow but I promise I made some good progress on the saw. First thing was to get the holes tapped out from the paint especially since these are fine threaded bolts. After that I got the top and wings bolted on...

I found it for $200 on ebay plus $65 shipping. It had been bench tested and guaranteed to work. Thank you for the suggestion, I know the method you are referring to pretty well. I was a machinist/millwright in a past life and would finish certain surfaces on a granite table like that. I wish I...

Thanks I am really looking forward to using this when its done. I have remodeled three houses and built lots of cabinetry with a circular saw, a router and a saw guide so it will be a real treat to have some proper tools for once. The surface rust is completely removed from the top I simply...

Thanks the base was a simple project but pretty happy with how it rolls and locks down. The top is pretty rough, I am going to attempt to sand it down and finish it with my Eastwood SCT tool then wax it. If I am not happy with the results I will start looking for another top, I have seen several...

Well I stopped by the Lumber store on my way home from work and picked up a piece of 3/4" birch plywood so I could get the mobile base put together. I am sure some of you are wondering why I went with this particular mobile base over an all steel version. The reason why is because I eventually...
