I have two estimates to high lift the doors in my garage. $350 per door from both companies. That's a lot when you consider I have three doors to do. Where can I get the parts to do it myself? From what I can tell, I only need springs, drums and cables if I cut the overhead track to use for...

I wanted a bench 20 feet long and 30 inches wide. I could not have found one under the price to build one.

Of what, the workbench?

I'm planning to replace my air lines. Patience... 20 feet of rock solid work surface. The framing is 4x4 legs, 2x4 for the shelf and 2x6 for the top. The tops of the legs are morticed for the top framing to sit on. The cross pieces under the top are sitting on joist hangers. Every joint...

The way I've run my air lines is not recommended by this forum.

Workbench framed up. After clearing the wall, planning the bench, buying the materials, and building the frame, I was too tired to cut the top. Twelve hours is enough for one day. While I was in the barn hunting up some materials, I found this rascal hiding in a corner. I think I'll clean...

Plans changed. The wife stayed home from work and watched the kid, so I started the workbench. Photos tomorrow. I'll be calling around about modifying the garage doors.

So, dredging up the past now that I have some extra coin from a part time job... I'm starting on this little project on Thursday. I will be moving the Scout out of the garage to get a bay to stage out of. Step one will be to move everything off the wall with the windows. I will be cutting...

I've been working on rebuilding my wife's first car for so long that it's become furniture.

Anyone?

I have a 2.5 ton Allied jack that I have overall been happy with. It has been bleeding down, and I found the thread on adjusting the overload on it. It was about 5 turns out, but I also found a lot of oil on the release and the adjuster. I think it is time for a rebuild. It also has a broken...

All Stanley thermos bottles are supposedly built in the US. They advertise that way at least.

Since someone asked, the carport is 12 wide, and 30 deep.

Does transmission fluid count as paint?

Thanks for all the advice so far. Trust me, I am reading every post over and over to glean all I can. I have a buddy that works at a chemical plant bringing over a pallet tomorrow. I have a crazy idea to make storage boxes out of it. He has a bunch of them I can have if my plan works. I...

I will look into some sort of bins. I have some milk crates laying around, they would be a good place to start I suppose. I know one person bought some tubs from Ikea, any other good choices for something durable? The shelves between the man door and the garage door can't go double. There...

A good friend of mine gave me that flag. He was working here for a few years and is back home in Sweden.

I finished my little welding cart project. I made it from a shopping cart, some scrap metal and some leftover paint. The Scout is a 67 with the 196 engine. It is in for everything. I'm still working on the brakes and getting the motor ready to fire. If the motor runs okay, the owner...
