This is my "four post lift". They extend to 0,5 meters. I bought two second hand ones, liked them, and ordered two new ones. The feet are changed on the newest ones, with the triangle shape. Shortly after they were discontinued, replaced by some really crappy looking ones.

This looks amazing! How did you find it, is there a website, or GJ thread, or any other context?

I bought the cheapest, saddest three-drawer box on Amazon. It will do the job. The drawer slides seems to be better than expected at this price range (47 EUR / 55 USD). First I ordered most of the missing sockets, and started bolting the socket holders inside of the top compartment. And here...

I love the way she finds scrap in the streets and builds art or functional objects from it. So inspiring!

I want to make a box or cart with basic mechanics tools, to roll out in the carport when I need to work on my car. There's a bit too much walking back and forth to haul tools, it annoyed me the last time I worked on the car. Also, who doesn't like a tool organizing project? Starting with...

Hello T-handle. I've been inspired by the photos and videos of your workshop, for many years. But then you disappeared. Good to hear you are still there! I am sorry about your illness. Having lots of ideas, but zero energy, is really hard (my wife suffers from a similar disease).

Wonderful old tools, a tiny workshop that is getting organized, lots of vintage drawers. I am watching this thread.

Hi Geoff Thanks. Never seen that series, is it any good? If they filmed it in the summer, on sunny days, then I guess it is sunny all the time :) It's mostly raining here. We usually have a tiny bit of snow in january/february. No ice. I don't even have winter tires on my car, just the...

I wanted to build a large workbench/table next. It's a couple of years ago, and all my money was going into supplies for renovating the house, at the time. So I wanted to build it from free materials. My dad had taken down some pallet racking, which had shelves made from 22mm MDF. I got a stack...

Thanks, I am very pleased with it, compressed air in the shop is such a nice thing to have.

Was out sniffing the snow with my buddy this morning. He likes the cold and the snow, I don't. It's -12 C today (10.4 F). Around the time that I was making the tool wall, I found this vintage air compressor. It is made in Denmark. The company still exists, but nowadays they just import...

I tried a couple of vices for the workbench, but didn't like any of them and sold them. Then I found this vintage one, at a bargain price. It's a Heuer Front from the german vice manufacturer Brockhaus Heuer. They still make these today, the new version of the Heuer Front look like this: On...

Thanks Larry! It's good storage for spray cans, paint and oil etc, I saw it in T-Handle's workshop

Sure, it's the eastern part of Jylland, just north of Aarhus.

Thanks. I agree, you need to be creative in small spaces to make it work. I feel most inspired when looking at the small spaces here on GJ. My biggest challenge is that I like to tinker with all sorts of things. I am not just building a woodworking shop, or a place to store our DIY tools and...

Even with a discount from my workplace, I think Würth tools are overpriced. At least here where I live, maybe it's different in other countries. They have a huge selection of tools. And they look nice. But no. The Würth Zebra screwdrivers, made by Felo, are very nice. But so are Wera and Wiha...

I removed the wall between the two rooms of the extension, and removed the carpet. Can't find the pictures of this right now. There was a nice level concrete floor underneath. Anyway, how to get on with the project? I decided to make some wall storage for tools. Had some second hand particle...

I have always wanted my own workshop. We have lived in a housing estate for a number of years, and I've been using other people's workspaces and sometimes going to my workplace in the weekends, to work on projects. 4 years ago my wife and I managed to save up enough money to buy a 125 m3 (1345...
