Those standard toolbox cabinet locks are about the easiest to pick designs there are. I went with a Medeco cylinder off ebay. Abloy is another nice one. I don't suggest losing the key though.

I've got a bunch around the stump of a large tree I cut down last year. It was all over the tree and I've just been mowing around it to keep it down. I'm Trying not to use strong chemicals but it would be nice to get rid of it. Digging it up would probably mean getting rid of the stump. I...

Re: looking for obd2 scanner for labtop? ebay is your friend. lots of options there.

Re: Beggining to hate Craigslist!!arrggghhhh! CL is fantastic, surely you guys tried to sell stuff before it was around? Huge huge waste of time and expense. About 70% of the times that I put an ad in the newspaper the person on the phone got the ad wrong then you have to call em back after...

I just helped a friend with an estate sale for his late grandmothers belongings. It just killed me to see a lifetime of beautiful, quality, carefully selected items liquidated for a pittance. Her house must have looked like an antique shop. In terms of my own things I'm not as worried about...

Beautiful work! There's something about turning mundane things into functional art works that I just love. Good work with the photography too.

Better off buying a letter stamp set and hammering it in, though that's permanent if you have vintage tools or plan to pass them on at some point.

I like it! Small and clean. The only thing I would do in addition is some flexible grey wire loom for super stealth and maybe mount it to the back of the monitor..

No, its based on research and experience. Which clearly you haven't done?

This thing works like a charm. I like the Pureones because they're available everywhere but I also like the meyle and mann filters. I would like to look at the WIX ones too..

I like the idea of a tablet but its going to get covered in coolant/oil/brake fluid etc etc. I think, as mentioned by earlier posters, either an expendable keyboard along with a tablet or a cheap CL laptop are the way to go. Maybe with an old pc as a media server/router. Not hard to put...

Thanks for the info, I'll give that a shot and post the after photos!

Well, the carbon graphite seems to last longer as a sacrificial anode and makes less of a mess apparently. I haven't tried it yet though. I think you are right though ZRX61, it's not necessary on this vise. I guess I was thinking more for the cleaning/ paint removal aspect. I do have some...

Greetings, I don't have a garage yet but it is in the works. In the meantime I've caught the vintage vise vice. I have an automotive project that requires a vise and refused to buy foreign made model. I picked up this Morgan Chicago #40. It seems to be in pretty nice shape. I have a few...

Love the Jake and Elwood. Best car film of all time. Garage looks great, clean and dynamic.

I find small college towns to be a nice mixture of metropolitan / country. Especially about 5-10 min drive out of town. You can have cheap acreage and then head into town for interesting independent restaurants/shop etc. Usually they're fairly recession proof as well in terms of...

I am also guilty of this. Bolts, screws, brackets, tube or hose of any kind, small bags for parts, wood scraps, strange and interesting containers. old weird but probably useless tools. Cords and wire. Old clothes / sheets for rags. At some point I've used all of it on one project or another.

McMaster is just ridiculous. I think I could finish an entire garage interior with their catalog.

I got a quote from those guys. They wanted seven, count em, seven thousand dollars for one 16x7" door.

If you spray that garage door a lighter color or put some insulation on it that would also brighten the room up a bit. The photo makes that look a little dark. Great little shop though. It has a lot more character than the standard attached garages you get these days. Good luck hunting down...
