I'm in the planning stages of a ~20' x 30' garage with a second floor suite, basically a carriage house. I do wood work and metal work. Looking for advice on how to best isolate the garage sound from the up stairs living areas. Already planning to put the air compressor outside in an add-on...

I have a Primeweld TIG and Millermatic 140 MIG. When I bought the Primeweld I knew I had to do something different because my existing cart was too small for both. I bought a used warehouse cart for $50 and proceeded to turn it into a cart that would fit both machines and two 110 cu ft tanks...

I have a spool of Lincoln .035 wire. Problem is most of the label is gone and I can't remember if it's flux core or solid. Is there a way to tell if it's flux or solid or should I just mount it up and see what happens?

I’m running the GJ app on an iPhone 7 with the latest iOS. All notification settings are set to “On” but I never get any notifications. Is this a bug? Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Ran across this while searching for riving knife equivalents for my Unisaw. Great design. Too bad the fellow went dark. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Hey folks, hoping I can lean on your collective expertise. I have a 23'x18' garage, flat roof with two overhead doors. I do a mix of woodwork and motorcycle restoration/maintenance. The design challenge is that there's a 6"x6" wooden pillar smack dab in the middle to support the 2x10's that...

I’ve been looking for a saw to replace my vintage Beaver 2200 8” saw. I’ve done work to adapt a Delta T-square fence to it and it’s a great little saw but ultimately it’s too small. Been looking around at other older saws, all contractor style generally under $200. I don’t mind putting some...
