Yes, I used a section of pegboard as my jig for drilling the holes for the adjustable shelves, made things real easy.

I know that the Bendpak 4 post lifts do not need to be anchored down, I'm just worried that if I don't level it out and bolt it down that it might bind up on me. Is this not going to be an issue?

Well, after 4 months of searching craigslist I found a used HD-9 Bendpak 4 post lift. Purchased it from a young guy who sadly had to close his business after only being open for one year, but got a screaming deal on it. The lift is in perfect shape other than I will need to repaint the main...

Well, I cut them in half and chop the lower legs off so it might be a bit of an allusion. Rest assured, they are the same lockers my friend.

Getting ready to install my 4 post Bendpak HD9 lift this weekend and need to wire it all up. Excellent idea and although more than likely not needed its always best to be safe than sorry. I will be taking your idea and using it on mine. Thanks for posting!!! Zane

I did something a bit different with the lockers that I had gotten for free out of a Sports Clips that was being remolded. Mine are different than yours as i was able to cut them in half and make a base for a work bench out of them. I made wooden shelving in them to store spray paint, paint...

Really comes together after cutting and hanging all of the doors. Now i need to pull them off and paint them and the cabinets will for the most part be done. Don't worry, my mower has a different home. It just happened to be in that spot to charge its battery when I took the pic.

After quite the delay in any updates due to an unexpected shoulder surgery, I have been given the all clear given by my surgeon to get back to it! I spent the last few evenings building the adjustable shelving as well as adding the facing to the front of the additional set of cabinets. Also...

I used 3/4 inch MDF for my cabinets doors with European style pocket cabinet door hinges and have had great luck with them. NOTE: I would never use MDF for the cabinet facing, but wouldn't think twice using MDF for the cabinet doors. For the facing I used a hard wood to support the weight of...

As requested here is a picture of my 2000 Toyota Landcruiser that gets all the love in my garage.

I decided to switch the cabinets around and hung my wall mounts last night. I'm very happy with the decision. As I had said earlier I ended up having to remove the thermostat controller box off the wall and pull it out of the way so a slight re wire will be needed, but not a big deal. Next up...

I could, but quality was a priority for me and it took me quite a bit of time to complete each fridge and there is not a huge market for a high priced garage fridge these days. It was a fun little business, but in the end it was a ton of work for minimal return.

Now I like that quite a bit, very cool. Might have to do something like this.

Wrapped up the framing of the individual base and wall cabinets last night. I have not anchored anything to the walls yet as I'm trying to decide if i should put the large cabinet to the far right or keep it in its current location. The door going outside is causing some heartburn for me with...

I started a very small company several years ago making garage refrigerators called Tough Stuff Appliances that I have since sold, but it might give you guys a few simple ideas to make your old fridge stand out. I would strip the fridges down, sand, tape, mask and paint them with hi quality...

Spent some time over the weekend building the rough in of a few new cabinets. The large cabinet will have two small doors on the top 2 foot and two larger doors on the lower half. I still need to add supports to this larger cabinet reducing potential warping over time and will show you how I...

cleaned out some of the clutter and reorganized the third car bay side of the garage.

Next little project I did over the weekend was to rip off the carpet that the previous owners had on the stairs going into the house. I then painted them with paint left over from my cabinets. It looked OK, then I remembered I had some extra aluminum tread plate laying around. So I cut them...

I'm normally the type of person to get rid of things without much thought to reduce clutter. In doing some of that this weekend, I was getting ready to toss out an old wooden made bolt bin that my grandfather had made many years ago. It was handed down to me when he passed away and after...
