    Blackboard or Whiteboard for shop use

    I like the idea of the chalkboard for the old school cool factor. But I'd probably go with a white board. Glass white boards are great, easy to clean and never have those ugly stains. I will probably get a piece of glass and paint the back side white if it works out cheaper than buying a...

    Steel Building manufacturers - any experiences?

    No experience with any of the companies are listed. I am in the process of building a Mueller building and overall I'm very satisfied with it. I would recommend going with who ever you think is going to give you the best service, who's easier to get of hold of, who answers the phone or calls...

    Garage Door Suppliers?

    I looked at other metal building suppliers and roll ups is all they have. There's a Home Depot in town, I looked before on the website and all I found was standard residential sizes. I just dug a little deeper and found where I can custom order whatever size door I want. I'll have to write...

    Garage Door Suppliers?

    I should have said I'm looking for sectional doors, I don't like roll up doors I bought my building from Mueller and they only have roll up doors, but that is a great idea I'll check some of the other metal building suppliers.

    Garage Door Suppliers?

    I'm looking for suppliers to buy sectional garage doors from. Google isn't very helpful I get the manufactures of the doors but they don't sell them or I get local companies who make their money installing the doors. I want to just buy the doors and install myself. I want matching doors...

    Bags for organization

    Uline also has a large selection of various bag sizes and thicknesses, I haven't checked prices but probably cheaper then McMaster.

    Shed, build vs buy

    Only you can answer this question: do you want to work on the shed or in the shed? Personally I would build it myself, more fun that way

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I too have been working on a '66 Charger, my dad's. We put a 6pack on the 383 a while back and has run very rich. So I wired up some wide band O2 sensors and have started tuning it. I think I've got the idle just about dialed in, just waiting for some jets now.

    Tools for Manufacturing Technicians

    We have been in the process of doing this were I work. We used French cleats to hang the tools, this makes it easy to move or reconfigure as needed. Also having everything out in the open makes it easy to see if anything is missing. Each station has its own board with everything the operator...
