Looks like you've got some nice bits and pieces stored in there. I try to get myself in the mindset of 'is the space more useful than the item' which helps me to get rid of some things. I usually toss out cardboard boxes as a first easy step as they are readily available. A bit of organisation...

Well spotted, typo on my part, my main compressor is 3HP 14cfm, not 2HP.

Thank you all for the help!

Thank you. Am I understanding it correctly that if I connect up both compressors, and my tool requires 10cfm, i could run both at 5cfm (or any other combination adding up to 10)?

My main compressor is a 50litre 2hp 14cfm unit. It's been great but the tank is too small so it ends up running continuously when sand blasting in particular. The manufacturers do the same compressor in a 100ltr version, but I couldnt stretch to the extra money at the time I bought it. I just...

Hi there, I've got myself an air powered finger sander for smoothing out welds in hard to reach areas, but it's destroying belts in a minute or two. Whats happening is the abrasive seems to be coming off the belt leaving the backing. Can anyone suggest a decent manufacturer of belts...

Wow, that looks fantastic. Are you using it for business purposes or purely your own vehicles?

I really enjoy treading your updates Vladimir. Repurposing and repairing better fits my mindset and budget than some of the other threads, although they are inspirational too in a different way.

I'll be watching this one with interest, always nice to see a build from the UK. It must have been gutting to lose all your stuff.

Im hoping to add a more significant weight, perhaps with guide wheels to help take the load. I know people have hidden doors which are functional bookcases so im optimistic that its possible. I just haven't seen any examples of it.

Apologies, i should ahve been clearer, these are traditional outward opening doors, side hung on the left and right. Here's some example doors of the net showing the hinge type.

Has anyone seen garage doors with storage built into the reverse side? I am looking to replace a pair of traditional single garage doors with some self built, steel framed equivalents, hopefully with some storage bins on the inside and looking for inspiration. Thanks

Awesome garage and cars in it! Nice to see another member from the UK as well.

You've got some great signage, particularly like the AA and RAC ones.

Thanks Advan, I'll give that a try as well.

I think i'll have to strip it down and have a look, thanks for responding rlitman. I didnt realise new grease might take some breaking in. :)

anyone?

Hi all, I have a Makita SDS drill and lately the hammer function has stopped working when the drill is cold, after a couple of minutes it seems to 'warm up' and operates as normal. The drill has a grease port on the top which feeds the slide mechanism? Would you agree with me that potentially...

Nice to see a fellow brit, and you have a Series 1, very nice! I'll be watching the build with interest, looks like a decent plan.

Thank you! The house is progressing thanks, we tried to keep it to one room at a time but with a full rewire and substantial plumbing changes, the whole place ended up in quite a mess. A new baby in the mix hasnt helped with the schedule but we're getting there.
