    Hoologan's Long Term Motorcycle Garage Renovation

    Thanks. I just scuffed them up with some 200 grit and sprayed them with Rustoleum. I purchased the cheapest painted cabinet doors that Ikea offers, so it was real easy. The gear storage cabinet works great. I just installed a closet hanger rod in there, and it's perfect with enough shelf...

    Hoologan's Long Term Motorcycle Garage Renovation

    Just to be clear, I won't be going without a motorcycle, lol. ;) We just sold hers so it doesn't sit there while she's pregnant. Besides, I needed the money for the shop project that I've been putting off for way too long. :evil: I will be, however, consolidating my Vstrom and XR650R into...

    Hoologan's Long Term Motorcycle Garage Renovation

    I painted everything on the west side of the shop last Saturday. Here's where the workbench will go. Wall storage and sink on this wall. On Sunday morning I found myself in Ikea buying cabinets and the place was an absolute ZOO. I despise that place, but they have good prices on cabinets...

    Garage Overhaul Using Rust Bullet for the Floor

    EMC2, I stumbled across this thread while researching Rust Bullet. First let me say your garage is beautiful. Very well done. I am in a similar situation as you were. My garage floor was painted by some previous owner who knows how many years ago. It's gray and shows several spots where it...

    Painting your tool box?

    I rattle canned my vintage Craftsman Box about 12 years ago and it still looks fantastic. Even where I clip my tape measures to the top edge barely shows any indication of wear. I use quality Rustoleum paint.

    Sorry to disappoint, but we recently sold my wife's SV because we're expecting in April. She's a very sad panda. ....about selling the SV, that is. ;) She'll get another bike when she's ready. Riding is in her blood and it's how we met.

    Hoologan's Long Term Motorcycle Garage Renovation

    It's been a long time, but I'm finally making some progress. I had to work in Canada for six months in 2014, then I decided to ride my motorcycle to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska last year, so that cut into my budget quite a bit (but totally worth it), then the HVAC unit in the house crapped out, etc...

    gun safe questions

    I just picked up one of these for under $2k and I think I got an excellent safe for the money. OP, I went into this purchase with a budget of $1k as well, but quickly learned that I was out of my mind with my expectations for that budget. Summit Cascade Series Mine is still on order because I...

    Hoologan's Long Term Motorcycle Garage Renovation

    Hi All, My wife and I picked up a bank owned house in the summer of 2012 and now that I've finished all (scratch that) MOST :eyecrazy: of the must-do projects inside the home and around the yard, it's time to focus my attention on the garage. FINALLY!! :willy_nil This will be a long term...

    Rolling Welding Table

    Thank you! No doubt. If you want a good 6-8" overhang for clamping with such a small table, I figure the tapered legs are the only way to get that and not have the thing fall over with all of that weight up top. :thumbup:

    Rolling Welding Table

    That's crazy. I designed and built one identical to that about two years ago. I even did the tapered legs for more stability with the 24" x 48" design, the rails along the side to store clamps and grinders and painted it the same color too! Great minds think alike, I guess. I still need to...

    Anyone use Ikea cabinets for the shop?

    I just finished my home office using IKEA kitchen cabinets (AKURUM) and I have to admit, they are NICE. My grandfather was a cabinet builder his whole life, so I know what quality cabinetry looks like. These are not those, but they are nice, nevertheless. :) After doing my office, I thought...
