    What kind of setup do you have to handle plywood sheets?

I've seen some paver setups that look great, and with the way concrete prices are...

    Tools for posing

    i gotta say, i saw these at Home Depot and said, whoa... :bowdown: The black was so shiny, so high-tech, so tactical... Okay, so you can't be shiny and tactical. i don't care. Heck, the sets are even legitimate 90 pieces, not a handful of double open-end wrenches and 85 screwdriver bits...

    The goal: rattlecan small objects (intake manifold and smaller) in a VERY crowded 2-car garage without getting overspray on white car, motorcycles, tools, stray cats, etc., without spending an hour moving everything out into the driveway beforehand. Must be compact, and not require frequent...
