    Ill call it practice. My 1 car garage.

    Nice looking start you got there! My space is limited so I opted for a motorcycle Jack rather than a lift. Mostly because I can store it under my work bench when a bike is not on it. I am upgrading my compressor in the very near future, I am thinking about going up with it, build a shelf for...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Took the back tire off my Gold Wing. That turned out to be a job! Now go to replace the tire and get it back together later this week. Kind of glad it snowed today, feel better that at least I didn't loose any good riding time...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Yesterday I pulled my jon boat out I had been decking, and put my truck in. First time my truck has spent the night in the garage, but this morning it was 3 deg F with 20 mph wind. Suppose to be -3 by noon today! Truck started right up, and no scrapping. Sure was a welcome change, expected...

    Why do so many seem to hate pegboard?

    I like pegboard and I use it. I also have tools boxes and shelves. Those that think it robs space must know something I don't.

    Kobalt vs. Craftsman

    I am the kind of guy that would rather work with my own tools than barrow off someone else. You can go a long way with any of those tool sets. Later they can become your home set while you fill your work box with the high end stuff. Your not talking about breaking the bank here either...

    Husky tool box @ HD

    I gave the drawers a shot of lube to start with, they seem really good. I am very happy with the box, this one will stay on my work bench. But I am considering another to replace my "tool bag" as my grab and go. I do a lot of "family service calls" throughout the year...

    Tool investment

    I would greatly consider where you are going to keep your tools. Do you have a garage of your own? I have sent a mint on tools over the years, I have worked in industrial maintenance and engineering for 30 years and a DIY'er even longer. I have "lost" far and away more tools than I have ever...

    Husky tool box @ HD

    I know this is pretty small for some of you guys, but it replaces my old two drawer on my tool bench. Ball bearing slides, I like it for $29. Boy that old craftsman wrench could use a cleaning!

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Re: What did you do in your garage today? Added a new shop light to the garage. Worked on my Goldwing, think the problem was with the kill switch, cleaned it up a bit. Starting every time at present.

    Umm... New USA-Made Crescent Wrenches at HD?

    I order this 4" Crescent from McMaster-Carr a couple months ago, it is made in the USA. I carry it in my pocket and use it just about everyday at work, next to my Leatherman its the most used tool I own. It might look like a toy, but it has proved its worth many times over for me.

    I have a couple of favorite screwdrivers, but it seems like its the tip that makes it right for me. I don't know that I pay the grip much mind.

    Another angle on wood heat in shop?

    A guy I work with does this, he said it works great for him and it freed up floor space in his shop.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Re: What did you do in your garage today? Last night I "fixed" my MIL's back window that would not stay up. Tonight I need to change her oil. Its a pretty cool day here in Indiana, gonna test out the shop heater tonight! Its a Ford Focus, might be a real good excuse to buy the floor jack and...

    Craftsman screwdrivers

    I opened them and put them in my box, they look just like the ones I carried in my tool belt in the 80's. I am pretty sure I will be happy with them. Got a couple of projects this weekend, maybe I can put them to use.
