I'm giving up on trying to make a table... My permit was based on $20,000 (pulled the number out of my *** at the building department, if I hadn't gone overboard on a few things I would have been pretty close, certainly for a wild guess!) Item Cost doors $2,209 (2 entry...

Tooling up is in process! I need adult supervision on Black Friday/ Enco Sales / Zoro Sales days, or whenever GJ or Toolguyd point out a hot item :D Wiha, NWS, Witte, Gedore, Knipex.

Haha, bit of both maybe :). I'm not complaining, i have everything i need and more, luckiest ~10% in the world. For sure homes are more expensive here than in the South, also building materials, labor, gas, everything really. But mostly i'm a cheap ******* and i just got something rundown, and...

Hmm, maybe a good time to strike and tool up on some big ticket items, compressor and TIG are still open requirements. And definitely knipex plier wrenches. IR2235 perhaps, if it can be found :thumbup:

Since you didn't mention a budget.. Festool OF2200. I have butterflies in my stomach every time i use it. I can just marvel at the engineering, Festool pays attention to detail. Except for the on/off switch on their Carvex jigsaw which is quite possibly the most stupidly placed on/off switch in...

And a few more pictures of the truck as requested, she'll be the first major project in there once everything is done :) 1987 Toyota Pickup. Going strong but she's a lil' rusty. Here we are picking up my woodstove from Woodstock in Vermont last year. It was a 1 degF day, perfect day to go get a...

Little overdue, but I promised to take you through the inside next. I travel a good amount for work, so there’s not a lot of time to work on the garage in between, and when there is, no time to post about it. After the roof was done, interior finishing was next in line. Me and a friend put all...

I should report that this was resolved the same day. Fraud prevention kicked in on Chad's end, most likely as i'm traveling and placed the order from abroad.

At the very top of the page it says you get a refund when the order is placed. I had a little snag going through the ordering process and sent them an email, it got stuck after entering my payment info. My card account shows a pending transaction though. I've read less than positive reactions...

Wilton B.A.S.H Don't know if they still do it, but they offered $1000 if you were able to break it (normal use). That's pretty much a no-liability guarantee as far as i'm concerned, it really is tough.

I think you guys are definitely right about the general market shift to battery, and with that the manufacturers R&D $$. But boy is the difference huge with these impacts' performance. Anything that needs some oomph i just instinctively think of corded, my Makita battery angle grinder for...

I'm doing a bit of research on impact wrenches, corded, powered, and air. I'm looking to add an impact to my setup and would prefer electric. Air still is king of the hill when it comes to torque, but it requires a solid compressor setup to unleash that power. I was reading recently about...

Ordered and will be picking up Saturday, thanks OP. Legally, this is not considered theft, correct? It sure is damn close to it.

Like the methodical comparison. Very useful indeed, i specifically went looking for this thread since i'm the market for some ratcheting wrenches, and i remembered this had the best comparison i've seen. Bigger sample size next time :)

Thanks Scotty, should have refreshed before I replied, didn't see your response. I'm not too enthused about scraping it out at this point. Lot of work of course, but also puts the project well into the cold weather time of year. I can heat up the garage, but the slab right next to the garage...

Hmm, that is not encouraging. It still feels tacky and we are now 24+ hours in. Garage is still at 65degF. Thank you for the MSDS, I should have gone and looked for it. I followed the instructions on Legacy's blog...

Oh yes, at some point in here also installed the doors, windows, and garage door. I was told installing a garage door is difficult and should be left to professionals, so I said psssh, and did it myself. It was easy. I also installed a Liftmaster 8500, and is that thing ever awesome. If you so...

Joined the journal a while ago and long overdue to present my labor of love. I moved to the US almost 5 years ago and was mostly accustomed to brick and steel construction. Wooden buildings were something new for me, and after getting over the initial shock of the idea that my house can be eaten...
