Gauges look great! I really like the speaker pod, much better finish. I want to do some work like that in my 280z. The middle dash and console mostly. Good write up. I know what you mean about the physical stuff. Only been in 13 years and working planes isn't as bad as what you were doing, but...

I'm fully aware there are better ways of doing this, but they also cost a lot more. This was about free. For occasional moving and limited cost it works just fine, and its stable when up on the wheels. I think everyone realizes there are very nice casters and/or feet that snap down into place...

I took a little time to play with my workbench landing gear idea. I just tossed this together with some scrap wood as proof of concept really fast, so don't pay attention to the craftsman please! Basically I just added an extra support for the jack to push against. Then notched a 2x4 so it...

I have a smaller kitchen, but same circuit. I just cut one of the outlets and have it for the disposal. Didn't like the idea of something under the sink being tied to above the counter. Needed, maybe not, but it really wasn't any extra work.

Since you do this professionally I'm just curious what they did wrong? Didn't mean to come off like I was saying your's was going to do the same thing.

That looks really good...for now. We can fit 2 747's in our hanger. About 8-9 years ago the whole thing got an epoxy floor. Now all the concrete seems are cracking and it's coming off in pieces up to a couple inches. Every day we're picking up epoxy. Makes me not want to do my garage, but I'm...

I for sure wouldn't want to use it like that. Nothing likes running at a low freq, but it will damage motors for sure. Maybe not immediately, but it shortens their life. Haven't messed with many little generators like that, but looking at it like any other small engine it sounds like the carb...

Nsula country...the way you described is exactly how I did my kitchen. Everybody that knows what they're looking at said I went a bit overkill with my circuits, plus it's all 12ga, lights or outlets. I like knowing there's nothing to worry about. It's the same way I want to write my garage...

This is what we do at work. EVERYTHING is shadowed out. Takes up more space, but you can glance at a box and know for sure you have everything. Done wrong it wastes a ton of space, heck, wastes space even done right. I want to do this with mine, but I don't think I have the room!

I bought some indoor led lights from HD last year for about $16 a piece for my kitchen. They work great, dim, and install in a normal 4in cieling box. Zero clearance, they run cool. You can touch them when they've been on all day.

I took these pictures in Hanoi, Vietnam earlier this year. I went there in June for work. Notice the guy working on the ladder!

I didn't do much after work today, but I did get my "new" cabinet inside. I picked up this black 78h x 36w x 18d cabinet literally right before it went in a dumpster. The 3 drawer cabinets are some old dorm style dressers. I put some wood cleats on top of one to screw them together. That made...

Bed frames drill pretty decent with a drill press. I used some to modify a cart into my welding cart, built a wheel and tire rack too. Couple months ago I cut the sheet metal supports off the bottom of my truck bed-all rusted out. Welded new ones out of bed frames and it's stiffer than it ever...

I was just thinking about the landing gear idea when I rebuild my bench. I'm thinking of using those cheap car scissor jacks, one on each end. No hydraulic fluid, no seals to go bad, no pumping. If the legs are at least 2x4 width the jack would be contained in the legs, so no wasted space. Drill...

I've had the 4x8 folder with larger wheels for 4 or 5 years. It's held up fine, even on a 3000mi trip. I built 2x4 stake sides out of scrap laying around. Like others said, pulls better with a load. For the price I couldn't find anything on Craigslist. I'm happy.

Congratulations on the new helper! Mine love to "help" me in the garage. Great to see some more "normal" garages. I love seeing the really nice ones, but mine isn't going to get ther. Look forward to seeing what you do with the place. Nice workbench too

It is the tilting table type. I wasn't planning to use it for big stuff anyway. My 10in will work for that stuff, but I'm not big on ripping full sheets either. I figured it would come in handy for smaller projects, after making a zero clearance insert. Pictures...I know...I know...I will get...

I got this saw a few years ago for free when the lady next door was cleaning out the basement and finally got to look it over. From what I can tell it's late 1940's (48, 49?) Little bench top 7in guy. It's mounted to a homemade table that's junk. I don't have the table extensions, but looks...

Going through Air Force tech school to teach us how to work on aircraft they showed us lots of nasty pictures to scare all the 18-19 year olds into following the book. Everything from liquid oxygen burns, effects of an over serviced tire, and a finger that had a ring on it and got caught. As bad...

...and don't install the crank bolt with an impact. Use a torque wrench, steady even pressure, and the socket won't get stuck.
