    Adding doors to shelving units

    Has anyone made cabinet doors for shelving units like this? I am considering doing this by basically just fastening some 1x faceboards around the edges and then hinge a piece of ply on the edges with some trim to dress it up a bit? I am just sick of looking at my open shelves with auto...

    The sears by me just put a handful of their 4 drawer bottom chests with wheels on clearance because they are discontinued. Normally $200 - now $79.99. Not the greatest in the world, but Great if you need a little more storage...

    Fixing an Estwing Hammer?

    Hey guys. I have had this old hammer from back when I was doing general contracting work back in college. I never knew what kind it was until recently. I always assumed it was a junker since some of the rings that are stacked on top of each other were missing. But now I know it's an Estwing...

    Exposed conduit on garage walls?

    I was going to post this in the electrical forum, but it's not an electrical question so much as an aesthetics question, so here it goes. The original builders decided that two electrical outlets would be sufficient for a garage (one on the wall by the door to the house and the other on the...

I am trying my hardest to get everything off the floor and away from the sides of the cars so that all doors can be functional. I am playing with many different layouts, but i keep having a...

    Epoxy on spalled concrete?

    Hey everyone. I have been speaking with my father regarding the 35+ year old concrete in his garage. It had a rough life with multiple project cars, and lots of regular maintenance on every other car that our family of 6 has owned over the years. The floor is in pretty poor condition over a...
