Gotta say...every time I see your shop I just drool! I hope to eventually have everything built in like you have it! Great job!!

My hat in the shop is a bandana. Otherwise it's a baseball cap to keep the sun from beating on my eyes.

Just finished insulating and paneling my shop with 7/16" OSB. I used one coat of Zinsser primer and one coat of flat ceiling white(because I had a surplus of it to use up) and it came out great. I...

I fight a stand of Tree of Heaven in my backyard all the time. It's extremely invasive and can grow 6 ft in just a couple of months. It's also known as "Chinese Sumac", although it's not poisonous...

1) PB Blaster 2-3 x a day for 2 or more days...then grab the appropriate wrench, slide a pipe over end of it for leverage and it should break free nicely.

2) Die grinder or hacksaw to cut straight...

I had torn my rotator cuff and went to my chiropractor first, mostly because I thought it was just out of place or something. He did a new type of laser treatment on it twice a week for about 2...

+1 for coffee grinds, eggshells, kitchen scraps, shredded junk mail, etc! I got seriously into composting for awhile. I was turning the compost bins every week, making sure they stayed moist, etc....

I'm currently in the process of adding insulation and walling my shop for some relief from the insanely hot summers. Winters don't bother me much. I'm using Prodex radiant barrier insulation in the...

+1 on composting. I've got two 6'x6' cinder block compost bins, where I dump sawdust, lawn clippings, leaves, etc and just let them sit. I turn the bins once a year and it makes really good stuff,...

I voted 2 or more...mostly because it always seems like it takes more time to count to two, than it does just to grab "a couple" of whatever and end up with a bonus depending on how many you can grab...

you might also consider the classified section of garage journal forums.(not posting link..cause I'm not sure it's allowed..just google it). There are many members there who collect classic American...

I used to be plagued by spiders, lizards and mice in the shop, despite having the shop sprayed professionally inside and out twice a year. I finally got one of the plug in pest control boxes, which...

I have the same problems with power trips and resets when I have my laptop plugged in. It seems the DHCP decides that the printer and laptop is more important than the wife's desktop and kicks her...

Excellent job!! The mesquite gives it incredible texture and depth!! The joints are very nice too!!

My unattached 20x26ft garage/shop built in 2005 was $10k, which included vinyl siding to match the house, cement floor, 1 3ft door, 1 3x3 window and one 9ft garage door. There has been no insulation...

Lifelong chilihead here too! Born and raised in Texas! I love any type of hot! I usually pickle most of my peppers, but do use them raw occasionally to grill in with fajitas and such. One thing I've...

Just out of curiosity...what router bit would you use to accomplish this with the sled planing rig??

One more vote for the Bunn!! I run at least 2-3 pots a day, everyday, all day. On average I get about 5 yrs of use per unit. NO WAY any other coffee maker can stand up to that kind of abuse!

I live in a small rural community and get only religious programs, a small bit of country and the pork belly/Ag reports. I just this last week broke down and took my useless windows mobile phone that...

I have one 4ft. wall section of shop wall for plywood, siding, etc. Another 6ft. section has stick lumber, trim and pipe. Two barrels house the stick scraps that are between 2-4ft long. I have two...
