Last week I was sweeping the lawn and caught a fence post with the tire of my sweeper. Tire came off. I was able it put it back on part way, but it doesn't seem to want to go the rest of the way. Every time I either whack it with the rubber hammer or try to manhandle it into place it pops off...

I aspire to this. Tools are all listed in an Access database, along with where I bought them and how much I paid, at least for the stuff I bought recently. Now if I could just bring that organization into the garage...

This. Works great, if a sock turns up missing it is no big loss. Just reach in the bin in back of the Yukon, grab a sock and good to go.

Picked up a Bosch right angle polisher with a brand new pad on it yesterday for $2

What kind of car? Not all caliper pistons twist to retract. Some just require a C Clamp. I know VW uses the twist piston, not sure who else does.

Just be really careful with that stuff if you ever break a tire down that has slime inside. I burned a cornea when I put new tires on a yard sale lawn tractor that had 4 tires full of it. I know, I know. safety glasses would have prevented it. Just like everyone else I usually wear safety...

Yes, that is written down out in the garage so I don't forget, thanks for the reminder though!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I may end up just using solid steel bar and tapping 1/4" pipe thread on one end. Brake tubing wouldn't take the constant vibration I don't think. thanks again

This is a better representation of what I want to build. One to fit the main motor and one to fit the auxiliary motor

Thanks! Is there a specific product from lube guard that is recommended? I looked on the web and there are multiple options

I think I saw a post on here where someone recommended a specific transmission additive as being superior to the "Motor Honey" type additives. Searched and searched but cant find it. Any help is very much appreciated Thanks Bill

Machining. I have made rough parts when there was nothing available using a bench grinder, cordless drill and vise grips but it is abundantly clear to even the casual onlooker that this is neanderthal machine work. The parts always work fine, just look like **** I also wish I was a better...

I used truss joists in my 28x28. Gave me a clear span and more than enough moxie to use the second floor for storage. I put them every 16 inches.

I picked up a real nice steel hammock frame at a yard sale for $10. We have used it for several years now. Non permanent and easy to move if so desired

From my high school auto shop teacher "The quality of your work is remembered long after the price is forgotten"

Built it myself, used rafters instead of trusses. Bought a framing nailer before beginning - big time saver!

Man, times have changed. When I was in auto shop in high school we had engine stands welded out of heavy wall pipe. You wouldn't have dented one of those with a sledge!

This!! I have always had one in the office and one in the garage
