    A Shop With Dedicated Rooms/Areas for Different Types of Work?

    Yeah, definitely money and space. I don't expect to get it all done right away but maybe start planning on maybe hook up wiring and ductwork to those areas to tie into later. Thank you for your condolences. I miss him greatly.

    A Shop With Dedicated Rooms/Areas for Different Types of Work?

    My wife and I had been throwing around the idea of selling our mini farm and moving south and may still be working towards that path, but an opportunity came up that may be too good to pass up. My grandfather passed away last month, and now his farm is going up for sale. If we buy the place...

    2022 Garage Sale Thread

    My dad and I went out today for a few hours. It was a very slow day for the first couple of hours so I got on Marketplace to see if any interesting sales popped up. Found a tool sale about 15 minutes from us, and when we got near, we noticed there were no Yard Sale signs, none all the way to...

    2022 Garage Sale Thread

    I have had better luck at yard sales in rural areas than I ever have in the cities or sub-divisions. You may have to drive further, but it seems that people in the country sell the stuff I like (tools, guns, etc.) whereas the people in the metropolitan areas sell collectibles, furniture, baby...

    Thanks Grandpa.....What are the chances?

    They were within about 10 miles of each other. My grandpa was the world's biggest garage sailor, saler? So it's possible he bought it at the guys yard sale years ago. Anything is possible.

    Thanks Grandpa.....What are the chances?

    A few weeks back at a yardsale I picked up a nearly complete set of MAC wrenches. I paid $5 for the set, so even though it was missing one wrench, it was worth the prices and then some. The fact that the 7/8" wrench was missing was annoying, but what was even more annoying is that all the ones...

    Show your new tool arrivals

    To be honest, I've only used it once and it worked well for my needs. It isn't the most powerful, but it works good for cars. The one thing I didn't realize about it until I went to get one, was that it uses proprietary hose and accessories, so you can't use just any hose, tips, snow cannons, or...

    2022 Garage Sale Thread

    I will have to check the Garage Sale bylaws, but I am pretty sure posting in this thread is applicable to any deals you get on second hand items, so I am going to post these latest pickups. The company I work for is expanding, and with that, we have moved from a small building into a much...

    Orange peel spray paint

    This is a timely thread. I just got done primarily, and wet sanding my Blackhawk torpedo toolbox, and when I thought I had prepped it perfectly, I added the red paint. Almost instantly an orange peel covered everywhere I applied paint. So after letting it sit for a few days, I'm going to attempt...

    My dad just gave me one of these exact pliers today. He bought 3 for $3 at a yardsale and didn't need all of them.

    Your opinion on Titan hand tools?

    The only experience I have of Titan tools are the small 1/4" drive ratchets, and I love mine.

    What tools did you get for Father's day?

    While it hasn't arrived yet. My wife got me a 30L ultrasonic cleaner. It should make small engine carb cleaning a breeze. Can't wait for it to get here.

    Who is the OEM?

    To be honest, I didn't check that.

    Who is the OEM?

    My wife just picked up her Bronco hardtop and it came with a toolkit for removing the shell. Of course I had to take a picture to show them off. They appear to be pretty high quality. So anybody have any idea who the OEM is?

    Amazon is going to make major push into the tool business?

    Seems a bit strange that both links have the same reviews.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    It's funny when you get a new piece of equipment of large storage cabinet, it requires a complete change to the entire layout of the garage. I posted about a large 11 drawer Stor Loc cabinet I got from work on a different thread. Well trying to fit it in my already maxed out garage required...

    How about a classic Porter-Cable thread?

    I'm not disagreeing that the tiger saw is a formidable saw that could still hold its own. I just meant the switch to battery powered kind of put a damper on plug in reciprocating saws and Tiger Saws never made the switch as far as I know. By the way, one other BIG advantage the Tiger saw had...

    How about a classic Porter-Cable thread?

    I don't own any vintage Porter Cable, but I remember as a boy, my dad who owns a construction company, took me to our local lumber yard, and he was looking to get a new reciprocating saw. He was always a Milwaukee Sawz-all guy, but I tried with all my hearts content to get him to buy a Tiger...

    2022 Garage Sale Thread

    The worst part is, I was told that before we moved into our current building, they scrapped several of these cabinets. I would've had a garage full if I had known, but I was in a different department at the time.
