Hi all, I have some minor welding needing doing on my project car and am getting into minibike projects. I'm getting fed up with relying on friends to do some welding for reasons of logistics, but also the fact they don;t always do things the way I'd like. With that in mind, I've decided to...

The 4 vaporproof LED strip lights in my garage were replaced FOC by the retailer when one started blinking and they decided to replace all 4 now, rather than wait for the others to go. The LED strip itself is fine, so I took them out of each light before throwing the rest away as they could be...

Hi All, I did a search and didn't find any similar threads so here goes. I would like a tap and die set that has a small range of both metric and SAE. I needed to recut some rusty bolt threads yesterday and a friend loaned me an old but nice 40 peice set that had both sizes in it and it seemed...

Hi All, I need help. I installed 4 LED garage lights in my garage in early 2019. They are in series, and power comes from the original single light fixture that was in the garage. One light (the 2nd in series) failed recently in the form of continuous flashing, so the manufacturer has sent me a...

Just for my own sanity I want some assurance my thinking is right regarding a shop light issue I have. I bought 4 LED strip lights for my shop. I have some electrical experience but got an experienced friend to help me connect them up to the circuit. I wired the 4 lights in parallel and then he...

I'm looking at getting the following lighting bars for my 20x20 garage: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074CY2HHC/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I will need extended cords for them with the layout I'm having, and the power will come from the current light which I will remove and use an adapter: This will...

Can anyone recommend any decent but good value stud finder? This is just for personal, and not professional use so I don't want to spend a huge amount of money. It seems that most are magnetic such as this...

Hi All, I'm very angry with myself. I was trying to drill a hole in a steel plate last night and because I don't have a vice as yet (just moved in to my first house with garage) I had it set on a block of wood and held with pliers. Of course as the drill bit it spun the plate around a sliced...

My father in law has made a few wooden cabinets that hold cordless drills for myself and other family members and have a top shelf to be used as a charging station for batteries along with drawers. Anyway they are made to a high standard and he probably outs 15 hours into each one using high...

My father in law has hinted he's love a bench grinder for his birthday. I want to get him a good quality one but not pay through the nose either. It will be used occasionally at a hobby level, not a full on industrial used daily example. This Sears Craftsman one has good reviews...

I have a basic 'suitcase style' Halfords tool set that is very good, but I've been thinking about getting a proper tool chest for where I work on my classic car and go kart, plus if I get a garage later this year i'll need my own tools. I was talking to dad about his and that I was considering...

I'll start with saying I am very grateful to be blessed with parents that have anough land and facilities to partake in my hobby, especially as I do not have those facilities yet. But before my rant I will add a big: AAAAAAAARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :tantrum2: Those...

It isn't mine, but I spend a lot of time in it (sort of)!. New here and loving some of the garages and ideas on here, when I get my own place I'll definitely be pinching some of them, but for now here's the garage I share with my dad and brother, it was built in the late 90's but only got a...

Hi All, I found this place after looking up the 12 gauge garage and have spent the last two days browsing in awe! I'm a petrolhead, mainly into classic cars and am currently restoring an MGB GT V8. I'm using my parents garage facilities at the moment but look forward to having my own garage one...
