Re: Can the 12-Gauge Garage get your vote? d'0h! I haven't been on GJ in awhile, too busy working on the toys in the garage, or getting ready to play with them. voted, and I'll try to remember daily. I just wish that they'd have more pictures of each garage. First one? anybody can take...

Sorry man, I don't know. I was going to check ths forum, but since you'd already posted the question, I'd figure I'd just post your pics in a smart-*** manner. :) --sarge

This compressor? howdy! --sarge

one for rock crawling, one for mudding, one as a support vehicle, one for hauling stuff, one for driving daily, one for it's antiqueness. And the cool thing is, if something breaks (British origins, better word is 'when' ;) )... parts are readily interchangeable. Plus one becomes very familiar...

"inappropriate" and "propriety" are very, very subjective terms. They are nothing more than opinions. Some people think it's not proper to eat your main course with the same fork that you may eat your salad with, and heaven forbid you use the same fork on your dessert as well. Some people love...

wal-mart/autozone/kmart/sears/pepBoys/Oreily's, etc. One dollar. Two, sometimes. Or even free with purchase of other things on occasion. a chuck is just a fitting on the end of your hose that fits the schraeder valves on the tires. If you want lower pressure at the chuck, turn down the...

I always wanted to get around to making one, specifically for a huge autocross timer display. Just run the output of the 7-segment LEDs to a relay for each segment, and trigger whatever lights you want from each relay.. You could use whatever bulbs fit your fancy, from 500W spotlights to...

I was keeping my buddy's tools for him when he was in the Army. He had a box of different torque sticks, and a big sheet on the inside door of a cabinet with torque specs for most cars. I tested the torque stick vs my plastic craftsman tq. wrench, and my dad's nice all-steel one. the torque...

Depends a little on the layout of your house, how you'll be going from your house to your garage, how your driveway will work, and if you prefer benches/workspace to the side or to the front. The detached garage I just bought (it came with a house, too!) is a 24x36, which will work out well I...

The hydraulic hose is rated for the pressure, but not the HEAT. The hose I was recommended to use was Thermoid Hercules 500 hose. I got 3/4"hose, it will turn right onto 1/2" black pipe fittings, and not leak. I put a hose clamp on just in case, but it works really well, and holds up to the...

I closed last Friday (april 29) on this beauty: it's not the *PERFECT* property, but it's close enough for my first house. 1600+ sq. feet inside, and the garage is 24x30, 9' ceilings, insulated, drywalled, heated, lit fairly well (only T12's, I want to change that) and has a floor drain...

Ferd F-TeenThousand. aww.. I just realized that someone else posted it previously. ah well.

Cardboard and gravel (or cement, if I can actually get a car into the garage). Usually wooden ramps (6x6 cut at an angle, or a 2x6 + 4x6) Most of the time, though, it's jack/stands, since I'm changing tires/brakes, and so holding something up by the tires is more of a PITA than it needs to be...

strain reliefs, as far as I know. ^^ that's what I'd do.

At work (newspaper), the press guys have an Aramark dispenser of some sort for the last few months. It works very nice. However, if you've got a sink available with some water, I REALLY like a box of powdered Boraxo. That stuff gets everything off. Ink, grease, oil, laser printer toner, those...

why do we drive on a a parkway, and park on a driveway?

we never hung ours on the wall, that sounds like a lot of extra work. Unless you guys have some sort of lightweight namby-pamby plastic wheelbarrows that are light? ours were heavy enough that we'd just tip'em up on the nose, and they'd lean against the wall by their own weight. We used one...

they make 10 ga. extension cords for RV stations.

55-gallon drum up in the rafters? How about an on-demand water heater, with the whole system fed by a garden hose? If insulated right, you might even be able to make something work in winter... I'm looking for something pretty soon too, I'd like to be able to wash my hands BEFORE leaving the...

I've got my own balancer, and mounting machine, because I do a lot of racing and go through a lot of tires. I keep an eye on my street tires' treadwear, and when I see the fronts starting to wear down, I rotate front-back, and keep going. since there's SOME event every weekend, it's no extra...
