    The Pliersrack II

    Nice way to waste money and further complicate things! Put a metal piece looking like this: I______I and screw it to the wall. All your pliers of various shape and size will fit. And it's practically free. Just saying.

    Putting together my "Ultimate" air system...

    Nice score. Good air systems should have the compressor stored outside the shop. At least if you work on cars for a living. You wouldn't want to hear that thing roar all day when charging.

    Congrats man:-) Men need a place to go and be alone, and do stuff. Or dont. Im glad you got your own place:) If i were to give you advice on how to use it, then it would be to place the compressor outside if you buy one. Build a wooden sound insulated box to store it in. It will help...

    Tell your girlfriend the garage is yours and she can park outside. Make an agreement the house is hers and the garage is yours. The house will be hers whether you make this agreement or not.

    Building my first garage, need ideas!

    Cabinets stain super easy. And what's up with the TV? TV's are for living rooms. Not for work places in my opinion. There must be better options out there?

    Ever seen a Crypton charger?

    I stay as far away from HF as i can. Im aware some of their products are good(enough).. But i hate china whole heartedly. As a dog lover i cant stand their barbaric ways of killing dog during the Yulin dog festival. Also the outsourcing has gone too far. Too much focus on quantity instead of...
