G'Day from Burpengary, beware, you'll lose hours are here just reading everyone's ideas!

Search for "Fine Line Tape" this will give you a narrow sharp line, and then you can back this up with conventional masking tape.

Good to see another Brisbanite! The welding table came up really well, where did you source the clamps from? I'm only new to machining and am learning something new every time I go in the shed, I came across this little revelation on one of the machining forums a little while ago, you still...

Put a piece of thin heat shrink over the end of your probe and shrink it away from the tip, this should give you enough wiggle room to slide it onto the pin you want to test. I t might take a couple of goes to get the size you're looking for.

I have 2 of these and 1 top box. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MAXIM-42-Tool-Cabinet-11-Drawer-Toolbox-Chest-Trolley-Box-Roller-Garage-Auto-/330733802222?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item4d014552ee Holds tools, opens and closes and rolls with ease, not sure why people are infatuated with spending...

Australia was metricated in the 60's and yet we still have a lot of builders hardware in imperial, and cars manufactured as lat as the early 90's had a mix of metric and imperial, So I can't see imperial fasteners disappearing for another 100 or so years. Besides we are all doomed until we stop...

Yes, spray a very light mist on manifold surfaces, hose joints etc, the engine will "pick up". Sure there is probably a chance, I can't say I've heard of anyone having a fire from it. You could probably use diesel/kerosene based degrease if you were that concerned.

I read the first few pages of this thread and thought this was a piss take. Then I realized it is a serious thread. FYI Small self contained vac leak detector, works on carb or efi cars, no need to disconnect anything, nor block anything

Anyone heard of a file?

I seriously don't seen how anyone who uses grinders and cutoff wheels for auto body restoration could leave a guard on. I always use 1mm disks on a 5 1/2" grinder and modified a cheap 3" cuttoff witha mandrel to take my worn down disks. I have had probably 3 disks let go this year, and probably...

As far as workshop improvements go, I'm doing them bit by bit as time allows and when something has got under my skin enough that I just have to fix/do it or I will go postal such as the fold away wall I did recently. Tooling for projects gets done on a needs basis, and I don't consider it as...

+1 I restore cars for a living and having been bitten with soda blasting I refuse to touch a car that has been soda blasted. Soda leaves a film that is near impossible to remove, I have tried water, vinegar, acids and nothing will completely remove it reliably. It also doesn't key the surface...

Sure, This is the channel http://www.01peer.com/index.php?pg=prod&sub=prodsws Wall sheets are waterproofed 3mm MDF Screwed off with 7g countersunk self tapping screws Static air at the moment, But I use a fresh air hood, Stage 2 will be air flow filtration/control. The fluros will have 4mm...

Lol! So here's the link on what I'm currently working on Saving Some Garage Space! There's also a link in that thread to where my inspiration came from.

Thanks Guys! I can't take credit for the idea, I just changed it to suit my needs. So, in Australia, we call the vertical members in a wall studs, and the horizontal ones noggins, more correctly noggings Yes it is my spray room, hopefully things will be easier being a lot cleaner and brighter...

Sorry I didn't put the link in, now fixed. The wall will roll against the end of the shed, so when not in use the shed is full size.

So a while ago I posted this http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47692 I figured it was about time I put this Idea into action. Temporary "wall" that has now been there for nearly 3 years :( Wow I forgot how big my shed is New frame going in, I'm using steel studs and...

I don't understand the question? When my wife wants to see me she comes down to my Workshop/Shed/Garage.

That's exactly what I was thinking. And when you are done you will have a great rack for storing metal etc on.
