rigged the passenger window in my navigator after the cable broke. Gotta love it!

Awesome! Thank you!

Any chance you can share the specific ubiquity equipment you're working with? I took a brief look at their site and their long-range setup seemed short (600'). I'll be looking at a 1/4 mile bridge, so maybe 2 will get me close, but that seems like I'll be cutting it close. I've got some foliage...

Changed the front tire on my bike and did some reorganization.

You guys are amazing. I knew this was the right place to ask. Thanks again! I'll be posting up pics when the project gets started. I'm sure it'll be slow going, well, because I'm slow. It's all good, and it'll be well worth it.

Thank you all for the feedback. I'll be checking the local bookstore for cabinet building books, and I'm sure that it, with this information, will get me all the information I need. I think I've settled on a frameless cabinet design, mostly because I prefer the look. I'll be traveling for...

This is extremely helpful. Thanks again! If I'm understanding this correctly, the bottom mounts between the sides, and I assume the top does, too. Is this correct? I'll be putting casters on the garage cabinets, so I'll probably go 3/4" for the back. In the house, I'll be mounting to the...

Thanks for this. I believe I'll steer clear of MDF in my adventure. Sounds like 3/4 ply is the way to go. Not a big deal, and I want it to last! I'd greatly appreciate some additional pictures if you have some time. If you don't mind getting some of the way the backs, sides, bottom and top...

Thanks for the insight. You're not the first one to tell me it's no small task. I do understand that, but I definitely like the opportunity to learn new skills, especially ones that I'll be able to use now and in the future. It's an adventure, right? :thumbup: I actually have most of the...

Hey guys, I'm in need of some help. If this is in the wrong place, feel free to move it. Also, before I start let me apologize for the length of the post and the amount of questions I'm putting out there. I did a bunch of searching and am having difficulty finding the information put forth in a...

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Made some simple sawhorses for some upcoming projects. I had a set, but they were cheaply made. These were, too, since I had scrap laying around, but at least they are sturdy and should last me for a good long while. Ignore the mess, we've been working...

I got my home compressor about 4 years ago. I remember my wife and I frequently saying, "this would be easier if we had a compressor" for years. Mine doesn't get much of a workout from tools (impacts, ratchets, etc.). It's mostly used for blowing out the garage, airing tires for the cars...

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Made a huge mess moving my benches and shelves around. Quit putting stuff away to replace the switch on the drill press and adjust the quill spring. Called it a day. I've got a ton more cleaning to do, but it'll wait until tomorrow.

In it to win it!

On the raising the hood option, I had heard this before and tried it, and my mice must be stubborn. They made a nest inside the raised hood, behind the supports. They also ate into the air cleaner ducting and made a home there as well. This was pre-mothballs. As far as smell, I can't say. I...

That's awesome news. I love vintage stuff, so this will be the crown jewel of what I have so far!

So, this weekend I scored a Walker Turner drill press for what I believe was a steal. It runs, but needs some work. The quill spring needs replaced, and it needs a new switch. The chuck is in good shape, and like I said it runs. Sure, it needs some cleaning up, but that's nothing more than a...

I'm, at this point, leaning toward working on the base, then going back and pouring. I'll do it pickup load by pickup load. It's all work, but I can handle it. Again, thanks for all of the input. I think it's set this old dog straight.

Let me just say, I am hugely envious of your space. Well done!

I use mothballs in my rarely driven truck, and rat poison in my never driven jeep. Seems to keep them from eating the wiring, and making a real home in there.
