I’ve ordered everything from outdoor seating to prep tables from webstaurant store and they’ve been really good to me. Mediocre manufacturer packaging can be an issue, but they’ve always made me square on anything that arrived damaged. One prep table looked like it fell off the truck when it...

My answer to so many questions is ”what can I order from a restaurant supply store?”.

Ten years in, and I’m still moving things around to optimize how I want the space to function. Everything is “easy” to reposition as needed except for a sink, thus I would put it in a corner as shown. Having some area on one or more sides is indispensable, but I would put one in that has...

A friend recently picked up an EcoFlow power station at Costco to manage storage and expenditure in a 12x18 shed. He’s utilizing used solar panels on the roof that he scavenges on Marketplace and Craigslist. It’s pretty impressive, and able to power lighting, a couple sewing machines, and a...

Hands down my favorite lever. Stays In the shop though. And for those times when only brute force will work to get a bead over the rim. They are a bit crappy, and only last about 10 installs, but they are a life saver as a last ditch effort:

I use my little ryobi cordless for enough things now that the big boy gets stuffed in the shed and only comes out once or twice a year when needed.

If the Tekton boxes were available when I bought mine, I would have gone that direction. I’m a big fan of the industrial dividers.

Bayer Suspend Polyzone A.K.A Murderjuice I spray the house interior and garage interior/exterior twice a year, and the bottle of concentrate lasts about 5 years. I use a common garden sprayer.

When I cut my whips down to the lengths I needed, I used the Flexzilla Pro reusable fittings to terminate them. They’re cheapish, easy and work well.

I listened to the praises here for the American Standard Champion, and have been very happy. In case nobody mentioned: what you get from Furgeson etc. is way different than what you get from the big box stores. It costs more, but is higher quality for the same insert pun here.

2x4 frame below. Got lucky that the garage is relatively level. Took up the slack with MDF and thin Masonite between the boxes and top. I needed a specific height for tuning skis, and the casters made everything too tall. The aluminum angle at the back is bolted both to the underside of the top...

Spent a week cutting, finishing and fitting butcher block, then went and bought a rubber mat to cover all 12 feet of it because it was too pretty to mess up. Still spilled some isopropyl on a corner and mucked up the finish. If I ever do it again, I’ll probably go epoxy resin laboratory top or...

Have had both old and new Simplisafe systems since 2014. Loved them both but hated the “motion” detectors (they are actually infrared detectors). They were always the source of false alarms, regardless of the sensitivity settings on them. Dead simple to set up, and pretty flawless once I...

Only most my sockets match, because I replaced the old ones all at once. Everything else is all over the place. Metric and imperial wrenches are from two different companies, and anything bigger than standard is usually bought based on who has what I need, when I need it. There’s a lot of plus...

Another 20v DCBL722 owner here. It‘s been great for me with a 5AH battery. I looked at others, but wanted something in the same battery ecosystem. Used mainly for blowing out the shop and drying bikes/motos after washing. If I need to blow wet leaves or something (very rare), I’ll pull out the...

Definitely need to clean out and organize the bike tools. It’s the biggest mess of a drawer in my box. For stands I rock the Feedback Sport Mechanic stand. I wish I would have sprung for the pro model, but it’s all I could afford at the time. Its good enough to not justify replacing it, and...

I’d be most concerned about the water that put the fire out, mixed with soot or whatever else burned, and then sat for a few days on/in everything. That stuff can get real caustic. I helped to scrap half a Vespa shop years ago because of that, and the fire was predominantly next door. The only...

The big ones are definitely a pain unless you have a lot of space. The smaller ones for 24x36 drawings are easier to manage, and are awesome for small parts storage. I don’t have an open drawer photo on this device, but I have all the drawers filled with Schaller bins for hardware and such. I...

Considering the same thing, as part of a larger renovation. Zoning in my area is pretty liberal in terms of height/size, but a bigger garage that could support an ADU above would involve removing the current slab to put in a foundation and moving the whole thing a few feet to meet setbacks and...

The only people more happy than me with my Milwaukee hammer drill, were the two I gave them to when I inherited another one from my father and another one from my grand father-in-law.
