    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    It's good...had to move the kickstand portion to the front position and be nuanced on getting the kickstand to fit by moving up or back as needed. I saw a YT video of a guy who extended his kickstand portion of the dolly by 5 or 6" by welding metal plates onto it. His kickstand was sitting on...

    Got my CList HFreight motorcycle dolly that I got a good deal on under my bike. Now I can roll it around out of the way. Also cut off metal where fenders used to be attached to a friends used MC trailer he just bought. Used a cut off disc in a grinder, sanded and painted the spots....turned out...

    Great tool find! Swiss Boy 115 Laboratory Scissor Jack

    I went to the gun show and browsed. I have enough guns and I like looking at tools/implements that I might be able to use/repurpose for my shop use and a vendor had laboratory equipment such as beakers, microscopes etc. but what caught my eye was a small scissor jack. It looked incredibly...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Deere x300 tractor/mower began surging at idle. Cleaning plugs, replacing fuel filter, making sure air cleaner is ok didn't solve the problem. Anyone ever hear of Welch plugs? There are two on the twin Kawasaki carb on this x300. Researching this people have disassembled and cleaned or even...

    120 or 240v compressor?

    I made the mistake of having the builder put in a 220v circuit in my garage. I didn't specify the amps and found out it's only 20 Amp. When I upgraded my 20 gal noisy airless Crafstman compressor to a 30 gal Porter Cable upright oil compressor on wheels, it kept blowing the 110v breaker. Luckily...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    The Harley Ultra Classic was turning over slower than normal and as the battery was 8 years old it seemed like it was time for a new one. Buddy has a kid that works at Batteries Plus and he had recently installed a BP battery in his Harley. I was hesitant as I've always used the Harely batteries...
