    The Hodgepodge Garage

    1/2 Cup and Rodder. Thanks for your kind words. I should point out an item of interest if you do want to steal the idea. The hole pattern of 1" wall flanges from the black iron pipe exactly matches a standard electrical box so it greatly simplifies installation.

    The Hodgepodge Garage

    I got the first 2 sconces on the wall. I already have open orders for 3 more for my house and 4 more for my mother-in-law. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. I am not at all thrilled with whoever did the wiring for the sconces I am replacing. I would have hung another one if I...

    1/2 Cup Thanks for your kind words as always. I can't keep up with your pace but I hope to get my 3 boy more involved soon and have more time in the shop as a result. Also I hope to be able to show shots of the lights mounted soon.

    Bullet: I agree with Outlaw but have to say my personal favorite is Hollands built well and super beefy. Ask they are not as common so not everyone has one like Wilton's, Parker's or Colombians. Those are all wonderful tools but I like my Hollys. This is my Hollands 15 holding the main screw...

    The Hodgepodge Garage

    Lieutenant: thanks for checking in. The bench tops seem to be a favorite of many myself included. Speaking of the benchtops, I just took a few hours today (with the gracious support of my wife) and cleaned the shop out and even had the benches cleared for about 15 minutes. I then cluttered...

    Thanks for the kind words all. 1/2 cup I could use your help this weekend. I am installing a new ceiling hung fixture in the master bed room including running the wires and mounting all the boxes. Could use your help for sure. I'll post a few pictures assuming I remember to take them. Have a...

    The Hodgepodge Garage

    I have been working hard on my usual 5 projects at once and finally feel I can give an update worth something on a few of them. My Hollands 424-1/2 is coming along nicely with an new pivot lock handle and a sub base for mounting it on a receiver hitch. Here are a few pictures of the progress...

    The Hodgepodge Garage

    OK as promised here are the pictures of the Hollands 424-1/2 I am working on right now. I got it in trade from Drivesitfar a few months ago now. It will end up on my welding bench once it is complete. It had been refinished by the PO (before Drives) but he couldn't get the swivel base off...

    The Hodgepodge Garage

    Bathroom remodel Hey all, I have been using the garage to work on for items for the 1/2 bath remodel. My wife and I both really like a found re purposed industrial art and decorating style so I thought I would try and make something out of what I could find at my local salvage store. So I took...

    Pete, to further confuse matters, I grew up in the pacific north west (Oregon) and we would agree with you what tile is. We would have called that drain pipe. And a French drain does have a pipe in it just one that is solid on the bottom and perforate on top. That is then buried in gravel. No...

    The Hodgepodge Garage

    Guys sorry for not posting this earlier. I got a chance to use the welding table a little and can report with a 1/2-5/8 full bottle the angle was no issue. My boys took a trip to the toy store with a little money they had saved up. My middle son had the least money but a good imagination. All...
