    Eastwood clamps as low as $2.99

    LED screw in bulbs

    Somehow I didn't see any threads that cover these, although certainly one must exist. I have some Barinas, thanks to GJ guidance. I do have three light fixtures, and would like to maximize them. They are in close proximity to my workbench and toolbox. With Prime Day, I figured I'd pick some...

    Mower won’t start hot

    My 5ish year old Troy Bilt push mower won’t start hot. Runs fine, but if I have to add fuel or open the gate it won’t restart. Google says to replace the coil and carb. What says the all knowing GJ?

    Touching up Rustoleom Professional

    I put down Rustoleum solvent based about five years ago, and have a few small chips. Pretty small, smaller than a dime and mainly around some small cracks. The house was brand new, however concrete cracks easily in Oklahoma. It was cracked upon purchase, sealed, but I think the inconsistent...

    Any feedback on the Ridgid 4514 table saw? BOGO at Home Depot today

    As I get into this hobby, I assume I'll eventually need a table saw. As every tool has to rest in a cubby, I've been looking at entry level 10 inch models, preferable with an extendable fence and a compact folding stand. I came across this deal last night. Don't know if it is worthy of the...

    Micro shed/shelf for the patio plans and suggestions

    Hi! Me again, asking for some guidance. Does this count as a garage? My wife finally got her oasis last summer, a retired buddy helped me build the pergola of her dreams after the patio was extended. We need a place to store the cushions, and space is a premium. Rather than the traditional...

    $100ish five inch orbital sander recommendation - preferably low dust

    My almost 20 year old Ryobi has sat most of its life, but @loganb was unkind enough to create a new hobby for me. It Isn't getting a ton of use, but leads me to believe it has a short. Cuts in and out on occasion in different positions. I'll wait for a sale, so hit me if you see something...

    Looking to make a shelf from scrap plywood and 2X4s

    I have an 8' X 19" piece of scrap plywood that I I'd like to use to make a shelf in my cramped garage. It will mount to the wall about 18 inches below the ceiling. My wife parks her SUV in the open spot, and will walk right under it every day. Basically, the stroller on the ground will be...

    "Cheap" wood safe stain from HD

    Probably the wrong place to ask, but I made a candy dispenser for my kids out of scrap wood. Just realized I can't use regular stain on it as it isn't certified food safe. Internet says it probably is, but either way it must say "food safe" to get approval. Googled it, got a headache, and...

    Look for a "first" miter saw recommendation

    Been tinkering with wood in the garage lately, making small stuff at night. Haven't woodworked in 30 + years, but after building a pergola I decided that racing bicycles, two young kids, fishing, and a makeshift foundation weren't taking up enough time. @loganb sent me a couple of Asa...

    Folding work bench recommendation

    Man you can go down a rabbit hole on these! I've decided to dabble in woodworking after a 30 year hiatus, very minor small stuff here and there when time allows. I currently have a hand built workbench that folds out of the wall, which is really just used to place tools while working on my...

    Wiring Barrina Lights

    Based on reviews here, I bought a six pack of Barrina lights. Looks like the cables are really short. Safe to assume I can just buy any T8 extension that catches my eye? Crappy picture, but you can see the two that are installed, possibly the chalk marks where the two that go on the garage...

    Help me design my garage cubby!

    So my builder made good use of some space in my garage, he built a little cubby that goes under the stairs on the other side of the wall. I put up some cheap HyLoft shelves when I moved in five years ago, and put rare use items in there since I have to back my truck out to access it. I'm going...

    Propane fire pit, propane heater, or maybe both?

    My wife has always wanted a pergola, so this summer we extended the patio and I built her one with a friend. She has expressed interest in a propane fireplace. It would replace the current coffee table. She did say if she ever got one, it would be a fire pit/coffee table combo. I found one at...

    Looking for a leaf blower bracket

    I'd like to hang this Ryobi leaf blower in the space between my tool box and cabinet as illustrated with me hanging it up for fit. I'm having trouble finding a bracket or finding inspiration to build one. I though that one similar to my weed eater would work, but can't seem to find one wide...

    How should I mount my pressure washer?

    Looking for inspiration beyond the Google images that I've found. Purchased this, and would love to have it off the ground. https://www.ryobitools.com/products/details/46396033383 A quick connect from the hose to the pressure washer was a game changer, although I do think it slows the flow a...
