Stopped by HF today for some cheapo black zip ties - hadn’t realized I was all out. Saw these tool boxes in red, blue and black and they’re only $18.99 so I picked one. I’m thinking on my work bench for mini screwdrivers & Allen wrenches in one drawer. Maybe my smallest sized wrenches in the...

My Pasadena garage & shop were never anything to write home about but my son-in-law knew I was always working on them. Since we moved to Glendora 2+ years ago, I decided to make my garage a little more well finished. I put in a Racedeck-type floor, paint matched the cheapo particle board...

Do you guys change your lawn mower oil each year? Yeah, I'm guessing a few will say they've never changed the oil in their mower! I have a homeowner grade Honda mower that's maybe 7-8 years old (guessing). I change the oil each year before start of summer. I admit I never check the level but...

I know ZERO about electrical. The switch has started intermittent acting up. Works fine - shuts off after a few minutes as it's always done. This bathroom was primarily used by small children of prior owner so I understand why they used one of these. Now it works regularly, then sometimes...

Non-Commercial, Most of 1 Kind of Tool & How They're Stored/Displayed Photo Thread Ok, FreudianFloyd has EIGHTEEN chain saws displayed in his shop shown in the What's On Your Walls thread. Freudian's chainsaw photo and a follow up comment made by FartyMarty about a member with 30 ball peen...

Yes, I did a search and found ONE thread about this name tool: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=431009 I was given this bench grinder by an employee years ago: He'd acquired it when a relative passed and is NOT a tool guy/DIY'er at all. It has sat unused for years. He...

Don't remember if I found this pic here, on Pinterest or elsewhere. Hoping someone knows whose this is. I REALLY like it and possibly looking to duplicate it. I have one HF wide box already. Wondering if the tool boxes are still on their casters since they don't appear to sitting on the face...

Wondering if there's some particular kind that's useful for various kinds of chores? My dad used rebar tie wire for cut branch bundles. But I want string for that occasionally and for other stuff. Probably not ordinary twine either, doesn't seem strong. Recommendations? Pictures? PS: I...

I'm here regularly but don't check EVERY thread, there are just too many. Consequently I'm sure I've missed some good pictures and/or ideas I might enjoy or even adapt. I don't have the space or means for the stuff in some of the bigger ones like Don's, OR I don't have a dirt floor or the funky...

I’d like to ask some questions about his bench. If it still looks like this? Has it worked out or what changes would he make if doing it over now? What/where did he find the metal edging - it used to be commonly available but I can’t seem to find it.

I've been around here a long time and I'm noticing a lot more super big "garages" being built or shown off. Personally, I feel like guys that have the space and the means to buy or build a huge garage need their own sub forum. Why? These garages have so little in common with us ordinary...

A long time and respected GJ'er recommended this hose reel rather than spend $400 for an Eley. He will likely chime in but I won't out him unless he wants to contribute. This one cost $80 delivered and looks good - the powder coat finish is nice. No, I didn't truly expect an $80 tool to be...

I was going to wait until it was "done" (as if they ever are!) or at least until I get the floor tiles installed, but what the hell. "The Plan" I've always wanted to have a great looking garage. At 65 this is going to have to be it cause I'm never getting another one! My new garage in...

As the title asks, does anyone have experience? I've got three large new melamine cabinets in my new-to-me garage and I have two more I'm moving in from my old garage. I read online that melamine IS paintable if I sand and use a high bond primer($$$$), allow that to cure thoroughly and then...

My True Lock HD tiles are coming soon so I'm in process on a re-paint, stem wall repair & paint, etc. As I'm working I'm thinking about the upcoming installation. I've done tile countertops before but not sure the same thought process does/should apply? Garage is 21x21 with a 2ft plus x 8 ft...

Surprised we didn't have this thread already. Please post 1 or 2 pictures only. List product used, size of garage/shop, how long you've had it, and if you've been pleased with it for your purpose. Thanks!

Feel free to tell me if this is TOTALLY lame (or just partly lame like even I think!) Made a "quick":wtf: swing through Home Depot today after waiting f o r e v e r in line to get in the store. As an afterthought I figured I'd pick up stuff to make small patches in my 4-6" stem wall then...

Just searching around online and found this product on HD's website. Claims it's 100% solids and the kit comes with product, hardener, stirring paddle, the whole deal. Anyone used this and if so, how were the results? Good, bad, awful? I did a search and didn't find either word in the title of...

Ok, ok, so I KNOW some will post a project that took two days.:bounce: I needed to replace a stepl ladder I carried in my truck (I backed over it:mad:). My 90+ very sweet neighbor stood this out with her trash. Her husband died about 5 yrs ago and I can see this is likely at least 50 yrs old...

I just bought the M18 160mph, 100CFM blower yesterday and I'm torn whether I will keep it or not. I'm wondering how it compares to their larger but slower 120mph blower which moves a lot more air? 100cfm vs. a claimed 450cfm (seems really high). I have a small suburban lot and have been using...
