    WTB: Older Craftsman 52 inch stainless top box.

    My landlord of 8 years couldn't raise my rent to "market value", so he simply refused to renew our lease. In the scramble to relocate some of my business operations, and being totally stressed out, I forgot the top box isn't screwed together front and back, so I lost in a turn. I was...

    Thoughts on vinyl paint booth solutions?

    I've got a 3200 sqft space and would like to be able to do some light spraying indoors. (Spot and panel clear, not a whole car or anything...) I've been seeing vinyl paint booths and I'm curious as to whether any of you have any experience with them. For the money, they seem pretty decent...

    Moisture Control Adhesive?

    Hey everyone, I realize this isn't for my garage, but I can use a little help. I'm trying to work out the final details of a 4 3/4" X 3/4" Birch floor installation inside my family room, kitchen and a hallway. (roughly 1000 sqft) I don't have the under counter space to elevate my floor...

    So I built my first table today...

    Well, I'm not sure "built" is the right word, so much as "assembled." :D I picked up some corner brackets, a few 2X4s, and a 4X8 piece of 1/2" plywood and set to work with my friend/business partner, John. I realize we need to frame out the bottoms of the legs, but a Giants vs. Patriots...

    Hey there, I'm looking for a non-oiled vacuum pump for some carbon fiber work I'm doing. I need a minimum of 3 psi, but more is better. An oiled pump can cause issues, so let me know what's available. Thanks, Alan

    Does anyone here make vice inserts?

    I picked up an older Craftsman and need inserts. I seem to recall someone mentioning a member here makes jaws, so a referral to such a person would be eternally appreciated. :)

    Storage Recommendations?

    Hey folks, I finally have my tool box and work bench in place and it's awesome. I can't tell you how much I hated working off the floor or a chair. *ugh* Anyway, I'm looking for a storage solution to fill a 5' wide by 35" deep space. I'm the worst Craig's List searcher ever, so all that's...

    Is this tool box deal of the week?

    For the last two years I've been telling myself I should break down and buy a toolbox, but haven't really felt like it was a big deal. I have a small 6 drawer Craftsman basic box and sure, it's pretty stuffed full of stuff, but for the last 5 or 6 years it's served me well. Over the last few...

    Finally started getting organized today. *wipes forehead*

    Well, my garage cleanup/re-org has finally begun. In preparation for the 8' Craftsman bench and 52" box I ordered, I landed a decent score on CL in the 5 drawer rolling carts you see below. (3 carts plus the one rolling tool cart) It started with these, which got a nice helping of degreaser...

    Help me clear some of this Snap On stuff out of my box.

    I'm so out of room in my tool box it isn't even funny, so I'm moving out some of the stuff I'm not going to use. Feel free to make offers on multiple pieces, but please don't get crazy. :) All prices are plus actual shipping. (People who mark up shipping should be killed by paper cut.) Up for...

    Can anyone identify this mystery box in my garage?

    This is stuck into what looks like an outlet but I couldn't pull it. It's about 3x3 and a little better than an inch thick, mounted almost top dead center near the ceiling of the back wall. Thanks, Alan

    While I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to set up my work station, I've been looking for miscellaneous this-and-that items around the interweb. I found a Craftsman 5169 Bench Vice on Craigslist this morning for $40. It doesn't have jaw inserts, but it seems pretty straightforward in...

    Work bench?

    After a weekend of picking things up off the floor, I've come to the realization that I have to get some sort of bench in my garage. While it's a good problem to have, I'm finding myself being overrun by tools and underwhelmed by the amount of storage I've got in the garage. I've been looking...

    It's dark and Florida is hot.

    Hey folks, Long time lurker, new poster. I'm in South Florida and I'm a car-guy, so my garage space is pretty important. I've got an average 2 car setup that's in serious need of some updating. I've outgrown my small tool box and shelving, so I'm here looking for ideas. :-) My short term...
