great restoration. ready for another generations use.

really like how this has taken shape - well done sir.

I'm loving this thread - a lot of great info. Thanks for the details.

Yes. 73 forecast for today and 83 tomorrow Feb.11 - got to love TX winters'. But in all fairness to my northeastern neighbors who have blizzard conditions today - in the summer months the only garage times are 6am-11am after that the neighbors complain I am taking off too many clothes...:bounce:

welcome. You got a great garage start. Hope you are able to get the flooring questions answered. I wish I had done mine when we moved in 20 years ago.

Thanks! I collect old cola bottles - not buy them - even my 1923 Christmas Coke bottle was my grandfathers'.

Nice to have that additional shed - great to store non workshop essentials. I have a small 8x10 shed on the side of the house to put lawn equip etc.

really like the lights in the tool cabinet. And I dream of dovetail joints like you have on that workbench - I am such a newby to woodworking.

Thanks guys' I appreciate it. I mostly wrench - I've done a Jeep CJ7 restoration - but I'm new to woodwork and loving it - but spending money on new tools is always fun. I may have to sell a few guns to get a better quality table saw and band saw.

great job! I like the stone work.

Thanks! I have since picked up a few more tips when adding the minwax poly. such as having a higher quality brush and laying it on a little thinner than I did.

great points Marc, Yeah - not making any money here. I'm retired. I wish I had a sandblasting unit. I'm at $84 for wood, 16 for the bolts and 1 threaded rod, I had the stain and the minwax poly already on the shelf. If I could sell it for $100 I would call it good - I'm going to ask $150. If...

Sorry _ i don't know why the pics are rotated. Then added 3 coats of Helmsman Spar Urethane Gloss sanding between each coat. Added 24 stainless bolts and other support hardware. Project Done - and will be selling it on Craigslist soon!

I got the park or patio bench out of the subdivision community dumpster 2 years ago and was just needing time to restoring it. Then need to remove the rust - lots of time spent with the hand held drill with brass wire wheel brush for about 4 hours over 2 days. Then primed the steel with self...

I'm willing to sell a few of my guns to get a table saw like the ones I see here.

Great idea. Love it. subscribed!

wow - great place. love the stone work.

I don't know what's in me to be so suspicious - I really wish I wasn't that way. But it looks like those tools in his cabinet have never seen any heavy use at all. The guy and the story is amazing and I agree - it was VERY impressive wall toolbox - nicest I have ever seen. The equipment he has...
