    The Shoestring Garage - my 20'x20' detached

    Put some of my free lumber to use this morning. Scrapped together a workbench to house my Gladiator Gear boxes and give me a little more workspace on top as well as raise it up to a more practical working height. Gotta figure out what to do with the old Gladiator top I took off now.

    I like it. Nice to have the covered carport to park under and the garage to stick projects in. What are the dimension of the garage part?

    The Shoestring Garage - my 20'x20' detached

    Hit up an estate sale this morning. Didnt expect quite so many people there, but most of them were more interested in furniture and kitchen stuff so I managed to snag an older craftsman bench grinder. Nothing special, but I 've been looking for a good one and price was pretty fair. Looks like...

    Workshop 88

    Cool little garage. Nice use of the spacing in between the studs. I like the "use what you've got" mentality.

    The Shoestring Garage - my 20'x20' detached

    My wife got me some metal shelves for our anniversary the other day so I went about putting them together. The box had two different configurations, one being two separate shelf units instead of the stacked way. I liked the idea of turning them into another workbench so I kept them separate...

    Average Joe's Garage

    My neighbors just got approval to remove what I think was a gum tree from their back yard. We're on John's Island.... not sure if you're in Charleston, Dorchester or Berkley or even if that makes a difference, but it might be off the protected list now? Good thing they cut it too....it was...

    J.H. Williams chisels any good?

    Cool...that was easy! Thanks. Looks like I got the post snap on ones. They are stamped USA. One has never been hit and has a brand new edge. Two could use a little sharpening but are still in great shape. Also got a Proto 15 5/8 aligning punch marked Los Angeles in the mix.

    J.H. Williams chisels any good?

    Went to an estate sale today and ended up with a few Williams chisels. Never heard of them but they said made in the USA so I figured for a buck apiece I couldn't go wrong. Looks like they are made by Snapon so that's got to be a a decent sign?

    Screen Door for your Garage

    I examined a patent for one of these. I think it was Lifestyle Screens out of GA or Florida. Not sure how much $$ they run though. Tons of different variations of garage door screens out there.

    The Shoestring Garage - my 20'x20' detached

    One of my older neighbors and her husband are getting a new 8'x8' shed built in a few weeks. She said I could have her old 4'x8' shed if I wanted, so I helped her clean it out the other day, and took advantage of President's Day off today to move it over to my house. It was in pretty rough...
