Hey guys, I'm trying to put together and simple on-the-road tool kit that will be for emergency use only. These are the wrenches I am looking at: http://www.sears.com/craftsman-2-pack-ratcheting-clench-wrench/p-00930879000P Do this (or similar) work? Is the concept sound? If the concept...

Dear friends and fellow Garage Journal members, As some of you may have known, we have had wildfires sweeping through Colorado nearly the entire month of June. We (our local tool/garage group w/ several GJ'ers) recently were informed that on June 11 a friend and fellow GJ'er had to evacuate...

Hey guys, I am finally going to be laying down my Epoxy-Coat floor. I thought it would probably be wise to check in with more experienced sources to just double check on some main points just to make sure I'm not missing out on anything. Okay here we go! Concrete floor diamond ground...

I was thinking of this topic the other day - if someone was to completely remodel their garage, going from a barebones setup (no insulation, sheetrock, electrical, etc) to a fully remodeled garage (nice floor, paint, lights, electrical, etc), how it might possibly affect either resale value...

Hello my fellow GJ'ers! In anticipation of doing my Epoxy-Coat floor this summer (thanks Epoxy-Coat and Ruger Lady!) I need to clear some space, which means getting rid of some tools on the cheap! Here is what I have. If you are interested, please PM me and we'll work something out. Priority...

Hey guys! So I have this old stenciling tool. It is made by Ideal Industries looks like has a military tag on it. It is really cool and makes you feel like you are welding your name into metal:) I don't really have a use for it. I hear that these can be somewhat sought after. May or may...

Merry Christmas Garage Journal! In the spirit of Christmas, the 1950's Craftsman Garage is giving away a table saw/jointer combo unit! I picked this little guy up because I just couldn't resist, but many of you have seen my garage. Way too many tools!!!!! (well, almost:D). Anyway, I know...

Hey guys, Just picked this up: The paint is in fantastic condition and I would like to try and preserve it as best as possible. However, it does have a lot of stains and extra stuff that got on it. Most of the marks you see from the picture are not rust, but foreign matter that got on it...

Hey guys! My knowledge is pretty limited to older tools, so I think I need some guidance on the newer stuff. I'm going to be looking for a miter saw at some point soon. Do you guys happen to know of any compound miter saws made in USA? (used is fine). Also, I put an axe on my wish list...is...

Hey all, I've been trying to do some research on some different flooring options for my garage (1950s Craftsman Garage - http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=103099) but every time I learn something about flooring, I get more confused on the price and want to start all over. Here's...

Hey guys, So I'm a ways off from finishing the floor of my garage, but I wanted to get some thoughts from everyone on here. You guys know a lot more about this stuff than I do. Anyway, here is what I'm working with: By daveamy at 2011-06-13 Its your standard 2-car garage floor, separated...

Hi, and welcome to the May, 2026 Update: I'm reclaiming the garage! It's been 15 years since I started this project, and just when I was nearing the finality of the vision, life happened and I disappeared for several years. In that time, the garage has seen countless house, car...

Hey guys, Yep, I'm a total newb. The wife and I moved into our first home last Sept, which has been awesome and a real blessing. It came with the standard 2 car garage. Somehow, in the time span of 18 years, everybody who used to own this place has somehow managed to do absolutely nothing...
