Badge on the side of the truck says 4x4 - looks like a 2x2 to me now... Still its in better condition than some of our taxis... they give literal meaning to "Drive it till the wheels fall off"

I must admit. I know there are a lot of really incredible woods out there. But I really do like plywood. It's great to work with doesn't need too specialised a tooling setup is 'kinder' to mistakes. Looking good. I think I need to get me a dado setup!!! Sent from my GT-I9190 using Tapatalk

Fantastic gate the design really has grace and a natural flow to it... Lots of incredible Steel craft in our richer neighbourhoods this side. Some gates I'm sure cost more than some houses! Not used to seeing it outside my country though... Its a relatively saturated trade market this side...

The Legacy Garage - Going Up Time to skin the wall... Would have preferred black screws... But again using whats on hand. Some washers to clean them up No - I did not Clock the screws!!! Shameful I know... But time is of the essence and clocked screws were not the flavour of the day...

The Legacy Garage - Going Up Continued trimming up the Cross supports for the Pegboard Stair wall on the table saw... Suddenly the piece jams... Then the kind of sound you expect from someone falling into a meat grinder... Thankfully the Anti kickback on my guard kept everything in place...

The Legacy Garage - Going Up Time for the Chisels All the Cut Lines marked out for the rebate (correct lingo here?) Didn't feel like Chiselling away at so much material... that and the wood is so old and so dry and my chisels being less than razor sharp I figured get rough with the...

The Legacy Garage - Going Up Thankfully I had a piece of Roof Beam stashed away that would be Tall enough. I trimmed up the top to allow Clearance for My I-Beam got it plummed square then marked out the measurements. I went wrong here... Half of 1220 is 610... Not 660... Yeah... Anyway...

The Legacy Garage - Going Up I then began preparing the brackets to hold the Pegboard. I needed an Offset because of the way I planned to put the whole deal together. Trimmed for the Cross member on the other side And the final Top Bracket with spacer off main Roof Beam

The Legacy Garage - Going Up I then got the bracket for the top of the stairs Sorted out. Its just a cross piece between the two beams. Bolted on one side then Using offcuts I made a bracket for the other side being unable to bolt it from the wall... The wall side is then just Screwed...

The Legacy Garage - Going Up So with it being easter weekend I managed a Few good Solid hours down in the workshop. First on friday (With kids - Didnt get too much done) then Sunday (without kids - Got Sooooo Much Done) Following up on EddyP's Pegboard over Staircase Idea I got to work. First...

I agree with 1/2 Cup... If your pops was into his workshop as much as you are then its the continuation of his hobby into your space... Sometimes our "Old Man" has some real treasure worth passing down through the generations stashed away in their old setups... I'm incredibly thankful for...

The Legacy Garage - A few small Changes My Son has joined me in the "Dark" Side of the force - He just turned 2 - he is an incredible little man... We learnt from the recent parent/teacher evening that he is well appreciated at school and is the class clown, Dads little helper, Except in...

The Legacy Garage - A few small Changes Now I have put my shop into 3D, I have drawn it out, I have spent hours contemplating the layout. I have thought of Trick systems to get the stairs out the way open up some space again (they take out quite an awkward chunk of floor and wall space). How to...

Thomas, Its become clear... I know whats going on now... Something I don't think anyone else has picked up on... The Grading... the Driveway... The Whole build in fact... Its just been an excuse for you to get to drive some heavy machinery hasn't it?

Even if its not your cup of tea... you have to appreciate the craftsmanship... The subtle hints of gun theme really make it

I'm glad you said that Brent. Something that might not necessarily be entirely useful or necessary can always be used by someone that doesn't have it at all. To date I've Given away a lot of Duplicates and Other odds and ends to people I know can have a use for it far more than me just storing...

Ryan - I'm glad you and your shop are safe... Just out of interest sake, Is there perhaps not a sticky "Safety" thread anywhere... I think that video could help educate a lot of people. Its always one thing to tell a person. But to show them can be far more impact-full... perhaps we can all add...

Alex, Incredible work bud, The world could use a few more Youngsters (not that I'm much older) like yourself. I hate how useless some generations are these days. My father was 54 when I was born so I was raised with much older values and a different outlook on life. Nothing aggravates me more...

The scratch on the floor from the dry wall screw unfortunately is just the Garage Gods taking their first Offering. Unless I missed it what are your plans for the upstairs? Great Build. Awesome space... Yours is the type of Workshop that most of us can dream about having one day...
