I prefer shelves and shelf brackets. I usually make the top shelf the deepest, 16" or so, in order to store larger items, I also leave enough height for a 5 gallon bucket of paint. I have found that...

I filled out my registration back in 2006, when I purchased a 24V kit; Drill, Saw-z-all, and flashlight.
I collected new battery's and charger last year.
No questions asked.
The 24V kit has been...
I can't stress Facebook Marketplace enough. Yes.....I know, it's Facebook..........
You will have to make a Facebook account, then after that you will have to request joining the Marketplace group...
SSShhhheeeessshhhhhh that is one heck of a nice looking pile of scraps!!!!!!
I have been working on a chamfering hand plane. My iron is a $13 Stanley chisel. Been having some issues with the handle attachment, but I think I have that solved.
One of my friends removed a granite countertop from his mothers kitchen remodel, 2' x 4' long. He made an inquiry to me as if I might want it or be interested in it. Then I suggested how good it...
Always good to see people who recognize who the "real winner" is!!!!!
Saturday I managed to rebuild the flower bed edging on the front of our house. I scored some fire-place rock off of Craigslist for free!
Sunday I continued to work on my family heirloom which is an...
If room was not or is not an issue then an out-feed table at the same height with "T" slots would be the way I'd go. Unfortunately space is often an issue with me. So normally when long stock is...
I understand exactly what you are saying about used prices some times. To me if something is of the used category then it should be close to 50% less of new. Now there can be some very lightly used...
Welcome to the madness. Be prepared for your wallet to be sucked dry of any green stuff. There are a lot of good machines out there. What you really want to be aware of is #2MT and other standard...
I have a fairly decent compressor, a Quincy. It came from the factory with a bleeder valve on one of the bottom feet, so it is easily accessed for water drainage. I built a small manifold out of 1/2"...
If it is an AIRBNB I'd go with the other suggestions of solid surfacing. You can often find reminiscent solid surface tops or "oopsy" ones at a very discounted price.
No way I'd leave options to...
I am not anti-hand tool, I kind of figure that all tools serve their purpose in time. I do know that the most common power tool in my shop that I reach for the most has got to be my 1/4" cordless...
I rebuilt an old Walker-Turner drill press a few years back, during the process I discovered that the return spring was broke as well. I did have the fortune to find an excellent website that...
I see a lot of old Rockwell, Delta, Craftsman table saws on Craigslist for cheap(I think they were all actually made by Delta?). Have also read that a lot of these machines are really good. I think...
Recently renovated my garage, 3 car garage. The garage is my workshop but it also needs to store momma's car and 1 motorcycle, so I have to maximize the potential for what I am working with. My...
I had this same issue just a couple months ago. Mine may have been a little bit more obvious. Now my saw had been making a funny noise since I packed the cabinet full of saw dust, I did this milling...
Depending on how extensive and involved you want to get then there will be a variety of answers. Are you talking about storage for the common items like push sticks, squares, wrenches.......
I have...
I use to work in a manufacturing plant. I spent well over 10 years on a production floor. When I first started there we were primarily using corded drill and pneumatic impacts. It was also observed...
If it is "free" then why not? From what you have described I seriously doubt that you will invest a large sum of money into this project. Would be a great addition to a shop to utilize for glue ups...
If I were doing new construction or doing a major renovation to a shop/garage then I would not use any sheet-rock on the walls and would opt for 7/16" OSB. You can trim it out in 1x2 and 1x4 and just...
I assume that you mean dust collecting on the shelving? It all depends, my table saw is on the opposite side of the garage, but I have also had that bay emptied out, vacant of a car, in order to do...
I use automotive grade wax. Was ripping some wood the other night and the drops just slide back towards me effortlessly.
I think last time I did it I also used the steel wool trick as well, as in...
Additional outlets and a panel-board that will handle additional breakers is a huge plus!
An out-feed table would be nice, but my garage serves a garage first and my shop second. So I have to...
