    18" tall wall cabinet suggestions?

    I am trying to fill a space above my work bench but only have about 20" to use vertically. I see a 30" wide x 18" tall cabinet on home depot's website but I am not sure how durable it is. The constructions says plywood with hardwood face frame and doors. It will not be used to store anything...

    Table saw storage or hidden ideas?

    I have had one of these awful Craftsman saws for over 10 years now and it takes up a lot of space in my small garage. I rarely use it due to clamp on guides for a circ saw but am on the fence about selling it. I currently have the plan to make an area in a shelving unit I'm building for it but...

    Affordable material to place below ceiling joist insulation?

    I am planning on decking the attic area of my detached garage for storage with OSB. I would like to add faced R-19 insulation below that in the joist cavities but know the paper can degrade over time and may allow for insulation to fall down. I like using the joist for storage such as for bikes...

    Tips on adding window to unfinished wall?

    My garage has horizontal Hardie siding and I am going to be adding a 36x48 window to allow for more airflow and for adding a window unit. I plan to insulate this "winter". On the house windows it appears the window trim (1x4 wood) is simply placed on top of the Hardie siding, not cut back to...

    Ceiling joists pivot down storage worth it or a waste of time?

    I have an unfinished garage with lots of overhead space wasted. I have a few spots where I have hooks or wire baskets but need a ladder to get to most of the items stored there. I have always wanted to make some storage boxes that pivot down for access but tuck near flush when raised up and...

    Makita Battery Holder Options?

    Does anyone make a decent battery holder for mounting on the wall? I want to de-clutter my cordless tool area but don't trust the 3D printed offerings. Would not be happy if they cracked in my sweat shop and dropped a $75 battery on the slab. Want to mount them to the side of this rack. It's way...

    Snap On Ratchet Strap failure

    I was in a bind and used these 1.5" ratchet straps to pull a 800lb item on casters up a trailer ramp. Heard a clang and something flew over my head. Pulling against it in tension with a 1 ton chain hoist. I believe they are rated at 3000 lbs breaking strength. Luckily nothing hit me or my truck.

    Paper Towel Recycling

    Call me nuts. At work after I dry my hands in the bathroom or break room I save all of the paper towels for use in the garage. These are just wet, not soiled etc. Smart or weird? They are not as nice as the blue roll of shop paper towels but the price is right!

    An Attempt to Organize: Shelving Unit Construction

    I had enough of the clutter down the middle and left of my garage, this weekend I built a 3 shelf setup out of 2x4's and 5/8" ply. It's not as stable laterally as I would have liked but for weight handling in compression it seems pretty stout. The shelf frames have 5 cross members including the...

    Tool Recommendations: Tap Set and Right Angle Drill Adapter

    My existing Imperial/Metric tap and die set is a real POS and I would like some input on an somewhat affordable replacement set, ~$100 or so. I'd like a combo set as they typically come with a holder compatible with all and cheaper than buying separate unless I am mistaken. Also I have seen...

    I searched for as much info as possible but still have questions on adding ventilation to my detached 2 car. This garage does not have any gables on the sides. It's basically a pyramid shaped roof as pictured below, not mine but similar. Can ridge vents be added to the sloping ridges or will...
