Here is another picture. Sorry about the first image. I guess I forgot the upload procedure.

http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii551/coolreed/IMG_0353_zps7561b687.jpg This is my new favorite vise at the 'Lazy J'. Very unusual unit. The static jaw rotates upon release to conform to different shaped objects. Also, it has a quick release trigger as well as a brass flip out protective...

I grind off the old paint and rust with abrasive pads and wire wheel brushes using my offset grinder taking the parts down to bare metal. The laminated sanding wheels work very well. The wire wheels work better around lettering. I file the machined areas to refine those areas. After that I clean...

Many times in my garage I am grinding on something or painting something like restoring a vise or engine. The problem is that I get grit or paint all over the place and it usually takes me all day to get my garage clean again. I do not have space for a dedicated booth. Once I got some fine...

I put a Mitsubishi Mini Spilt Heat Pump in my garage a few weeks ago. I posted it on the garage journal. It is not very difficult to install. You need to understand basic home wiring and follow manufacturers instructions. However, in order to have a warranty you must have a licensed HVAC pull...

I ran into the same thing years ago. Soaked it for a few days and cleaned it. But Mag Lites are obsolete now. Toss it and go get a good LED Flashlight.

Dishwashers can do an excellent job of cleaning parts. However, I would not use the dishwasher I use to clean my eating utensils. That being said,...maybe I need a dishwasher in the garage to clean parts? Excellent!

This is an unusual vise I found. Very high quality for a small vise and unusual pivot.

That is just incredible to have over 500 pages of Vises. I think I own about 39 Vises now and it all started after I discovered the Garage Journal. Many of my friends give me a lot of grief about my Vise collection and have suggested I join Vises Anonymus. :beer:

I am not a fan of hard hammering on anything. If you are, you are probably not thinking the problem through very well and need to step back and re think. I agree with an earlier comment that Vise Anvils are intended for light duty use and if you need to hammer intensely on something you need the...

The line set runs through a 3" hole in the garage wall about 8" to the right of my indoor unit and comes out right at the top of my soffit. I used speedi channel to route the line set and condensation line. This was about the only way I could do it the way my garage was made. I will post some...

The HVAC people came out Monday and cut the Line Set to length, pressure tested the connections, pulled a vacuum on the line set and opened up the valves. I turned on the power and Viola!!! I have heat and air at the Lazy J. You cannot even hear the unit run unless you turn it on high and then...

If your blade is sharp you are either not mowing often enough or you are mowing when there is a lot of moisture in the grass,...or both.

This is the outdoor unit. I chose to use Vinyl Boards to mount to my brick and then mount the different conduits to the Vinyl boards. Using speedi channel for the condensation line and Line Set. The Gray box is the required disconnect for the 220 VAC input. The small white box is the control...

Sorry, I have had some family issues regarding Mom. She fell and broke her plelvis and is now in a rehab center. Been a little hectic on this end. The Mitsubsihi Heat Pump is almost finished. The indoor unit is mounted and wired as is the outdoor unit. The only thing left to do is cut the line...

In installed a new patio a few years ago and utilized stamped concrete. Mine was colored chocolate brown with a natural concrete curbing. I was very pleased with it. The concrete was colored before they poured it. It faded just a little over time but looked great. Sorry, but I do not have a...

Looks like you are building a very nice router table. I really like the top. I think I would install a few gussetts in the corners to reinforce the basic playwood box. Best of Luck and Happy Woodworking :3gears:

The Mr. Slim Unit is 18,000 BTU Air Conditioner and about a 22,000 BTU Hyper Heating Unit. As I may have stated earlier my garage is 900 sq. ft. and according to my HVAC buds this should work fine. I am waiting on my Condenser Mounting Brackets, which is on backorder. Hopefully this will be in...

Here is the Mr. Slim Package This is the Air Handler unpacked. This is the Mr. Slim Condensor. Not shown is the Line Set and Mounting Bracket for the Condenser. Will start the installation in a few days.

I am putting in a Mitsubishi Mr. Slim Heat Pump in my 900 Ft^2 garage.
