the heat wave mark around the weld looks likes the temp is set too high? On TIG is should be small to almost null..

Sears carries the US made Wiltons via catalog and some bigger stores carry them in stock.

used, great condition tubing benders available all the time with dies at http://www.race-dezert.com/cgi-bin/trader/atl.cgi

how many folks on this site actually wrench 8 hrs +a day though..?? for 99.9% Craftsman work fine. Ive had them since I can remember, and have broken only what I can count on one hand.. YES, granted the stuff is thinner and lighter these days but.. 2-3x price doesnt make(SnapOn , Mac, etc...

my shelving is similar to that last pic except i used the 14" W melamie white shelving pieces at HD. They worked fine for over 5 years. My father was a sheetmetal worker so he broke up some brackets for my shelves and used lag bolts to attach the brackets to the walls and the put screws thru...

Looks like you have a TON of rafter space. Plywood the cr** out and use that as well. That garge is big enough to park 2 cars in no problem. When you need to work on one just move the other one into the driveway. All cars should have a garage to live in when at home. I'd put your workbench up...

The stubby ones are even more life savers- ever had to change a motor mount on a newer VW (Passat)?? *&^%$#

Id like to get a full set of stubby flexhead ratchets- hopefully cheaper then $80 for the full set.

I love my Milwaukee SawzAll me too works great for just about anything I just cut up a garage door opener track so it would fit in the trash.. like buttah..

jeeez awesome garage- might I ask what you do for a living to be able to afford ALL the toys!!?? if I had half that stuff :( ( do you find you use the TIG moreso then a MIG(do you do alot of aluminum work?)

just make sure your compressor can keep up- die grinders use ALOT of air. for cut-off /die grinder wheels, check out local welding supplies, they usually have a better size/grit selection

add some magnets so stuff doesnt get knocked off and your set..

I recently had to repalce a 10 year old 1/2 drive ratchet that failed- The one it was replaced with is CONSIDERABLY lighter weight then the old one. I liked the heft of the old one and wondered if they are making them cheaper now or if its a comfort thing(lighter = less weight to hold when...

Hey all, my requirements are as follows- the compresser needs to run a die grinder, impact wrench, ratchets, and thats it. Pretty easy requiremnts but the fab tool of choice(die grinder) gets used alot. I'll probably need a 7-10cfm range @ 90psi. I could get a 110v anywhere BUT they run...

thanks for that - that was what I was looking for. are you doing anything with that Type181(VW Thing) I see?

I have an OLD Sears 220v compresser thats 15 gallons and pretty weak now. I no longer see any 220v compreesers in their catalog that are "laydown" models? Ive looked at HD and Lowes as well and nobody carries them? All the weaker ones are 110v and oiless (which are REAL loud). Who makes a...

Oh no this is fine- I just wanted to see what others have done with a similar setup. Theres no way to fit a lift in this garge the heighth isnt there.:( This garage is attached to my house, its not huge and seperate like the others have on this forum. I also lack rafters anymore so storage...

Anyone on here have a standard 2+1 garage? I dont have the room for a xtra building but wondered what folks have done with what they already have.? ie: cabinets, lighting, wiring, air lines, etc. post up what ya got. thanks, Doug
