    SnapOn - What is all the fuzz about?

    In deed it does. And it also looks more of a toy with the pocket clip than a serious tool, but anyway it was my first encounter with SnapOn and I probably expected the screws will tighten/untighten themselves when I show them the magic of SnapOn :lol:

    SnapOn - What is all the fuzz about?

    I've always liked a good quality tool of any kind. When I came here on the board I heard SnapOn this, SnapOn that... then one day I got curious and went on their website curious and interested in some toolboxes. I was like this when I saw the prices -> :scared: Ok I thought, it must be some...

    Thanks. I'm glad you like it. The drawers are all 16 gauge sheet metal. All the sides are first bent 90 degrees from bottom and then 180 degrees down to make a thicker edge on the top so nobody gets accidentally cut on the top edge.

    Thanks. The drawers were actually my first try to do something with sheet metal and also my first try with the mig welder and they came out pretty well. Matt

    A small update this weekend On the first sight it doesn't look any different than before, apart from the cleaned up mess under the workbench. But a closer look reveals a tool drawer 36"x24"x3" under the first bench. Between the benches there was 3 inches of unused space. Nothing special...

    Thanks and more pics are coming as soon as I get something new done. I really can't wait to start using them on the Camaro. Like the feel of rachets and bits... but I'm already infected with GJ virus... need more tools.:lol_hitti Thanks. Feel free to borrow any design. I don't even consider...

    The project for this week was a welding cart. Since I already got a stick welder from before and recently got the PowerMig, I wanted something for both welders and a gas tank. Something like some kind "welding corner" all in one cart. 1"x1" 12 gauge steel cut to length Basic structure welded...

    Thanks. I'm not a pro welder by any mean and I'm still learning as I go along. My first welding experience goes something like 20 years back. My dad has always had a stick welder in his garage. He wasn't an excellent welder, but he was ok for around the house stuff. And when I was about 10...

    Thanks. I was thinking to build smaller case, but now I'm glad I didn't. An I'm pretty sure this one will also soon get too small. Thanks. Size it is what it is... I'm just trying to do best with what I have. But one day I'll have 50x100 shop/garage with everything I dream about. :fingersx...

    Some minor update what I did this weekend. The wall above the benches was looking kind of empty... sooo... I wanted something to hold the cases with mini drawers and some of my tools and could be closed in seconds in case I get a visit from somebody that I don't want to show all my stuff to...

    I'm glad you like it. Shower wise... there's a pressure washer in one corner if that counts for a shower :bounce: Originally I wanted something that can be cleaned easily. So when I need to clean it thoroughly I just get the pressure washer and wash the floor and portions of the walls. The...

    Thanks guys for all the positive feedback. The bench really is a total overkill, but I stick to the saying - if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing. And still the benches are far from being finished. This is the latest addition in the garage A rim rack, that can hold 2 spares for my daily...

    I really wanted a sturdy, heavy and strong workbench, so I decided to make it from steel. Made the design, bought some steel and here it is… 2x2, 3/16 wall (You’ve probably guessed by now that I really like 2x2 with 3/16 wall) The shape laid down and welded with my little Lincoln stick...

    A hole made on the entrance side, where the exhaust fan will go. The window, entrance door and garage door installed. Both doors were designed by me. They are made from 6x2 rectangular steel tube and 2 layers of sheet metal. All the empty space of the door is filled with glass wool to...

In contrast of other garages and shops, mine is only 20x20ft attached garage and I’m almost a little ashamed to show it, so please be kind and give me your feedback what do you think. This is...
