One of the things I want to make use of is attic storage. Unfortunately, the truss design leaves a lot to be desired, so I came up with what I think will improve the situation up there. It will be a bit before I can tackle this, but we're starting to get to current work status, so it makes...

The garage luckily already had a sub panel installed when I moved in. It took me awhile to figure out they didn’t bother to ground the sub panel to the main panel, so I had the joy of running that through an already crowded conduit under the house and out the back, as well as pounding in a...

There’s a 32 roadster and a T bucket in there. In the CAD snip above, larger rectangle sideways at the rear of the garage is the 32 and the smaller rectangle at the front is the T. I have a build thread on the H.A.M.B. for the T. The 32 kinda sorta fell together with cast-offs from the T, so I...

Re-roof project. For some reason it’s not loading all the pictures, so you only get to see the completed roof, not the FOUR LAYER tear-off or the lower roof deck rot replacement. We covered the entire deck with ice and water shield, so hopefully it doesn’t leak again anytime soon.

A couple pictures of what it started out as: There was a partition wall that was constructed front to rear about 1/3 of the width of the garage for a “laundry room”. This was one of the most ghetto things I’d ever seen so it was immediately removed.

Here’s some context for where I’m going with it. The garage is 18’x20’, and I’m going to try to maximize every cubic inch of that place. I want to say this image came from Popular Mechanics, but I’m not sure. I just love the simplicity and functionality. I drew this up in CAD - there’s a...

Hello, Long time occasional lurker on here. I'm a hot rodder living in the PNW, living in Vancouver, WA to be more specific. In 2017 I purchased my first home, a small 2br/1ba built in 1942 by the city of Vancouver for incoming shipyard workers during WW2 and auctioned off after the war...

Thanks! It's been a steep learning curve :)

I believe you could network with a machinist/friend/someone who knows what to look for when you look at a used lathe. Basically as long as the jaws aren't all chewed up, the headstock and tailstock line up, and the bed ways aren't all out of whack or have free play, you'll be in good shape...

I have very little "professional" experience here, but I'll make a suggestion or two. If you can find one in good shape used WITH tooling, you'll be miles ahead of buying everything new and piece by piece. I got a killer deal on an old custom built lathe that's getting pretty tired, but I love...

Hello, I just joined this forum today, and I found this thread. I'll share what I've done with a 10'x20' garage in the back of an apartment complex. It's not my ideal situation, but it works for now. I moved in about 3.5 years ago and have made MANY revisions along the way! I've accomplished...

Hello, I'm a newbie from Portland, OR. I joined this after finding links on the HAMB. Hope to learn lots of cool stuff as I gather ideas for my future garage!
