    Building shop cabinets

    My floor slopes about 4" over 17 feet so I had a similar issue. After weighing options I opted to go with adjustable feet for a few reasons. One its way easier to build square cabinets than it is to try and incorporate variables for floor slope into a cabinet. Two its also easier to adjust...

    Carpentry puzzle

    This is exactly what I was going to recommend. No math involved it tells you the angle to set your saw at and it's pretty much idiot proof as far as I'm concerned.

    WunTon's 17x20 all purpose garage

    I managed to find a little time in the last few evenings and yesterday to get my drawers finished up and got 8 of the 12 installed last night but then I ran out of screws because apparently simple math eludes me when figuring out needed supplies! And then on Saturday I made an addition to...

    Beads in your tire

    I run air soft bbs in my off-road truck with 40s and bead locks and they worked great. I was too cheap to buy the real thing for something that seldom sees road use but for the handful of times I have driven it on the road they balance out very well for big heavy biased ply tires on often hard...

    Router Bit Starter Set

    I have always just bought single bits needed for specific projects and most all were Freud but this past weekend I bought the 3 piece Whiteside undersized plywood bit set for a cabinet project I am working on after seeing them recommended on GJ and many other sites and I don't think I'll ever...

    Between 265 & 485 SQ/FT Nick's Two-Car Detached Vdub Garage

    I picked up a barely used Porter Cable 557 biscuit joiner a couple months ago with a few thousand biscuits of various sizes from an old man on CL for $100 and I have been using it recently for my miter station cabinet build and it has made installing face frames almost to easy to get perfect...

    WunTon's 17x20 all purpose garage

    Thanks! I decided to make my own table for the exact reason you didn't want one, official size is to damn big. Mine folds in half and can store the paddles and balls in the middle when stored away. I didn't mention it but you are exactly right our entry way at the stairs was always really cold...

    WunTon's 17x20 all purpose garage

    Then it was time to do something to add more functional storage instead of all the dead space under my workbench so I cut the previous bench in half to keep half and give the other half to the next door neighbor and started building a new miter saw station with built in storage and thats where I...

    WunTon's 17x20 all purpose garage

    At some point in June my wife decided she wanted a ping pong/beer pong table for a 4th of July party we were having so I opted to make one myself. I still need to build a base and don't mind all the **** in the background we were setting up for the party. I then realized things were getting...

    WunTon's 17x20 all purpose garage

    Not really garage related but we then built a deck. As always the pup isn't far away! My favorite part of the house and the reason I settled for a townhouse for our first house, the view from the kitchen window Then my dad and I built a fence around the back yard with two eight foot gates...

    WunTon's 17x20 all purpose garage

    After that it was getting cold out and I didn't want to freeze all winter long so I picked up a little heater from the HD clearance section for $40 tossed an oven plug on it and plugged it into the 240v outlet I had added in the garage for my welder. I gotta say all winter long I could go from...

    WunTon's 17x20 all purpose garage

    Well I have been here a while now and figure it is time to share my ever changing space. We closed on our house on Sept 27 (which also happens to be my bday) last year and I finally had my own space to do whatever I wanted to with after not having a garage since I left home 18 years ago and...

    Drilling with impacts

    ^ also good points! I should have clarified that I only use mine when drilling quick holes in soft wood and not in steel or anything else hard.

    X-WorkHorse Foldable workbench. Common uses? Why is the top filled with holes?

    No idea if this particular model is any good but the holes work well for clamping if you have the proper style clamp. Check out the Paulk workbench (if you aren't familiar) for a good example of how the holes can be utilized.

    Drilling with impacts

    For non precise holes they can work just fine but I find that you can get a lot of run out in the bit depending on brand and fitment into the drill. I have a set of Milwaukee hex drill bits that I do use in my m12 impact driver occasionally but I generally tend to grab the m12 drill and save the...

    U.S. General sale

    I've seen several of their coupons priced this way. The easy way to confirm they work is to just type in the coupon code number online and see if their website takes it. So far I have not had a problem with this.

    They have a $279 coupon on the 26 if you you're close enough to the store that saving another $20 is worth the trip. https://www.hfqpdb.com/coupons/2750_ITEM_26__X_22__SINGLE_BANK_EXTRA_DEEP_CABINETS_1557867205.9031.png
