    How do you guys stores wheels?

    I made an overhead rack out of a 2x6. Don't know how well I can describe it but here goes. I used two joist hangers mounted to the wall about 3' apart and 7' off the floor to allow for head room. Two pieces of 2x6 approx 10" long attached to each joist hanger. Then a 3' length of 2x6 mounted...

    Mig Welders

    One thing you should keep in mind is how much will you actually be using it. I also have a Century Mig welder and I am quite pleased with it. I am a welder by trade and use this little machine quite a bit at home. I am looking to upgrade though. It's a little more difficult to get parts for an...

    Garage Art

    The murals are pretty neat but, I don't have a spot on my walls that is empty. I've either got shelves, cabinets or tools hanging.

    Need more room help (o new be here)

    Are you talking about rafters or trusses? If you have trusses, you should not do any cutting on those. Every piece of a truss relies on every other piece for strength. A pic of what kind of system you have would be helpful. Rafters and trusses aren't something to mess with if you are not...

    What Kind Grinding Wheels are these?

    Flapper disks work extremely well. You can get them in different grits. The biggest advantage I find is that you simply want to remove paint you just apply light pressure. If you want to remove material you give it more pressure. All of this done with one disk and it won't leave those heavy...

    Craftsman wrenches...

    I guess I'm sort of out of touch but, I've never had a Craftsman wrench fail. I've been using them for 30 years. I even have some Sears wrenches(supposedly) lower quality than the Craftsman name that have been in my box 30 years. I was an auto mechanic for a while and now have a mix of snap-on...

    Paint Booth

    First I would check your local ordinances. Laws around this kind of stuff have gotten a lot tighter in the past 10 years. The main problem with painting in your garage is not only getting the fumes out but keeping the dust, dirt and insects out of your paint job. The poly if not sealed on all...

    Some Garage Heating Ideas

    I bought a used horizontal oil burner from a heating contractor for $50. I also found a used oil tank for free. I hung the heater from the rafters and added some duct work, a thermostat and two fuel filters. Probably the most work involved the chimney(which is made of flue pipe. My total expense...

    Plumbing Air Lines (Q's)

    Personally I would use either some type of steel (ie black iron, galvanized) or copper. Using hose to run the air around to the drop downs won't give you much in the way of volume. I would run ¾" or 1" to the drop downs. Also make sure in your drop downs to put a drain pet**** at the lowest...
