I do mostly metal work, but lately I've been doing a few more interior projects and I think I'm at the point where I need to expand my woodworking tools. I've been getting by with a circular saw, compound miter, and a handheld router. Basically, all portable tools, working off saw horses or...

I'm looking for some opinions on my proposed garage build. Background: I own two adjoining half acres lots. One is empty, and the other has my home on it. My home is very close to the property line - with the current attached garage roughly 10' from the line. I would like to build a new...

First of all, I would like to say thank you to everyone on this forum. I've taken a lot of ideas and incorporated them in my 24x24' attached garage, but I have definitely outgrown this space. (Plus, my wife would like to park her car in the garage someday.) I have been planning a 40x60...

My 24x24 garage in Upstate NY doesn't have a floor drain (one of the many things I hope to eventually correct) so when I park my tractor after snow-blowing, the snow melt pools all over the garage. This wasn't an issue last year, as the old wooden door didn't seal properly and the water just...

I've been lurking on this site and contributing on some other threads, but I figured it's time I start my own garage gallery thread. My wife and I purchased a new home in July of 2009. Our previous house did not have a garage, so I was working on my bikes in a basement workshop. The new house...

I'm 28 years old, and from upstate NY. I've been checking out the Garage Journal for a while, but just recently moved into a new house with a garage. Prior to that, I was building bikes in my basement. Anyways, the garage is 24x24' with 13.5' ceilings. I just completed a lighting project...
