    tools only YOU have

    Pnematic hog ring gun. Someone who does upholstery might have one. I use it on driving range netting. I've got two. It beats the hell outta a hand squeeze one when you have to put up 20,000 hog rings on a job. It was pretty nice when I recovered some seats for a friend a year ago too.

    Step Bits (Uni Bits), Do You Use Them? If so, please advise.

    I don't use them super often, but I do have a nice set of Irwin ones and always use cutting oil with them. They are handy when you need one.

    Best temporary heat for small un-insulated workshop

    One thing I did in a garage once to help insulate it, is I took 6 mil plastic rolls(found near the paitning supplies like in home depot) and staple it half assedly to the joists. It acts like a drop ceiling and makes the space you are trying to heat smaller, and helps keep the heat in too...

    Best temporary heat for small un-insulated workshop

    x2 on this! I have one for my shop to take the chill out of the air. Easy to go to pretty much any where for a tank exchange. I keep two tanks on hand, use one, and get the other filled soon after it runs out so I am not without when it does run out. I used a torpedo last year, and while it...

    Pickup truck crane / hoists

    That picture was taken BEFORE I made the brace, so after noting the significant (as in afraid to lift any higher) bend/flex in the bed, I decided to build a brace. I added a picture of the brace to my original post. It did work ok, but I wouldn't do it again, even with the brace I built...

    What do I use to drive these TINY Torx bits?

    I use a screw driver that accepts those (with a magnet to hold it in) and I also have a small ratchet that accepts them (I think it came with a kit of some kind) which I use rarely, but it is handy when I do need it.

    The fruits of my labor

    Looks like a nice place. Hope the clearance on the front of the lift to the loft isn't a problem in the future!

    Installing shelves in garage. Wire vs Wood?

    Use Hilti Togglers First site that came up from google. Come in all different sizes. I use them exclusively if it has any sort of weight to it. Second only to hitting a stud. They are also great for cinder block walls. Much easier to use than your traditional buttler fly toggle bolt...

    shark tank

    I added some character to my recently acquired compressor. It looked out of place being nice new paint so I sanded it and splashed some thinner on it to better match the compressor.

    My harborfrieght crane mishap

    why not just put a trailer tongue jack under on the crane. Swivel it down to use, up when not. It will transfer the weight down instead of levering on the chassis.
