Small LATHE Owners - Want a cover? For those of you you have a smaller lathe (mine is an Atlas 12x36) and want to cover it up when not using it, this may be of interest to you. I thought this grill cover was such an exceptional deal at $4.35 delivered, that I decided to buy a second one for...

My wife decided to join the forum and we were just wondering if there is some sort of approval process these days. I joined over 10 years ago, so I have no idea how long it currently takes. After registering, she said it told her she would receive an email with further instructions. But so...

After some technical difficulties, the Index is back up and ready to accept new entries. Thanks goes out to luvit for rolling out his toolbox and fixing it! You can get to the entry form anytime by clicking on the Garage Gallery Index thread pinned at the top of the Gallery listing and...

The two large 10x12' rollup doors on my building both have the chain hoist located on the left side of the drum. For the left door, I want to move the hoist to the right side of the drum so that both chains are hanging in the middle between the doors. The manufacturer offers hoist brackets to...

I’m sure there are many here that enjoy seeing the great transformations that take place whether it was barren land that now has a new building constructed on it or an old broken down building that has new life pumped into it. Or maybe you spruced up some corner or your entire existing place...

Here's the link: Garage Gallery INDEX It's basically a sortable database of build threads in the Gallery, including some charts, and even an interactive map. Go check it out if you have a moment! It's starting to grow as members submit their builds. For those members who have posted build...

We are ready to kick off the Index! We are starting an index of the many threads in the GJ Gallery and you are invited to submit your build thread for all to see. You will be able to enter attributes about your place (such as the size and type of construction) that others can sort/filter on...

(EDIT: Jump down to Reply #22 for the latest question - direction has changed a bit) I'm doing some work to the front of my pole barn and I have an opportunity to easily create a little awning for a bit more protection from the elements. It could extend out about 12" and be about the same...

Preliminary discussion on a GALLERY INDEX - Need your input! A thread over in the General forum prompted me to kick this off so here it goes. (Link to Thread) I’ve been thinking about starting an index for a number of years now and I would be willing to put it together and maintain the...

Test for videos in the ASYLUM thread: Video - New ASYLUM Shop TV System (wait about 10 seconds) And a new version with sound added: Video - New ASYLUM Shop TV System (BTW, the project is a work in progress, but the powered system so far is working great!)

PREFACE To those not familiar with the ongoing Asylum story, I started my main build thread The ASYLUM – Happy 40th Birthday to Me! after the main structure was already up, so now I’m going back to give you some history on the events leading up to it all and details of the construction process...

I live in a humid climate and bare metal tends to rust very quickly. I thought some of you may have figured out a good way to coat the chain of manual hoist to prevent rust. I just received my second manual hoist and I don’t want it to end up like my first one - all rusty. It came with oil...

I would like to do a few small milling jobs and those anticipated are mostly aluminum motorcycle parts and an occasional small steel part. I have this cross-slide table with rotary motion that seems like it would be large enough for my parts. I doubt I will be using it to create complete...

I’M SHARING MINE WITH THE FINE FOLKS ON GJ… I created these labels after getting frustrated using the difficult-to-read schedule listed on the backside of my main panel door. I found it handy to have the label right next to the breaker so you don’t have to look at the door label and then...

Preserving VINYL BANNERS - Any suggestions? I have a number vinyl banners that I would like to preserve for years to come. Some are hanging up providing temporary decoration as shown below while others are rolled up in storage. After several years, the cheap ones just totally disintegrate...

On one side of my shop, there’s a 3’ drop that I need to keep from washing out. Rain water off the roof beats it hard, but gutters are really not preferred since they would fill up quickly with leaves and Spanish moss. I plan to build a wood deck along this wall someday, but until then, I...

I'm looking for a small parting/grooving/cutoff tool bit for my 12x36" old Atlas with a QCTP. It will accept up to a 1/2" tall tool. I'm looking to spend under $20/bit. I found plenty of ceramic insert type for $80+, but I don't think I need anything that fancy. HSS or carbide tip would be...

IT DOESN’T GET SAID OFTEN ENOUGH I’m coming up on my 5 year anniversary of using (and abusing?) this website, and I can’t remember ever personally thanking Ryan and the rest of the folks involved with keeping it running. I, like most of us, just take websites for granted. I have no idea what...

WE ALL HAVE INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES... My parents were certainly the biggest in mine. The older I get, the more I am amazed how my parents managed to raise 5 kids, take a broken down old turn-of-the-century farm house and turn it into a “parade-of-homes” house by remodeling every...
