Garage Shop: Tools

yep! so y'all load up any of your garage/workshop layouts/benches/etc since I now have the freedom to make the space what I want! I need ideas!

 

yeah I think I'm definitely going to put my spare 32" tv out there so I can be productive and watch football at the same time.

It's going to be more my man cave than ever before lol.

 

I will still be getting rid of the old decrepit shed in the corner of my yard, may put a small lawn stuff only shed back in its place one day, or just complete the fence idk. All I know is the next house will have a large focus on garage, and hopefully detached shop space.

 

yeah that's my thought, just to satisfy a temporary need.

 

Went this morning when they opened. Got some batterys and zip ties. Drooled over the white toolbox and left before I convinced myself I needed it

 

I do love the white! I think I'd have to go for the green one though, I don't see many folks with green and green is my favorite color.

 

I don’t care what color it is. I would take a pink one but can’t justify spending the money right now

 

haha same! I'm taking my GF with me to HF, her first trip, and she's already found several things she wants to get. She's actually the one that decided we should get the miter saw. So.....I may be able to convince her I need a little more toolbox space too....

she's going to make me go broke though, she's been sending me links all day "oh we need this, and this, and this" she's worse than me...

 

Lucky. I can’t get even mine to turn in the parking lot if I need something. Hahah she doesn’t understand

Gotta go back anyways. Dropped my grinder on the cord and cut it in half. Time to upgrade

 

yeah I need a new angle grinder...wondering if the 11$ is worth grabbing...

 

That’s what I had. Use it few times a month since I’m always messing with something. Had it for two years. Never skipped a beat. Gets hot from time to time though

It’s on sale right now to

 

that's about as much as I'd use it. might be worth it for me then.

 

Show her "Evan and Kaitlyn" and "April Wilkerson" on youtube and she'll be begging to buy all the cool miter saws and stuff. Actually pretty entertaining no matter who you are.

 

I'll have to look into them.

 

E&K are more the "super adorable millenial couple that made DIY cool" types, but are still worth a watch.

April is more the "tomboy girl makes cool shit" channel like building and entire mini house from scratch or making a sturdy firewood storage thing.

 

gotcha, ok. thanks for the heads up!

 

My local garage sale was pretty disappointing. Most stuff that was there was more than the new stuff with a 20% coupon. Maybe ill go back tomorrow and see whats left. Was looking for a 44 or 52 in box but didn't have a single used one. Did have a portable band saw that looked brand new for 100 so maybe it'll be less tomorrow

 

About as effective you can get in a 10x20 space. You can get smaller but you sacrifice having to wheel stuff in and out.

 

Wow you have a ton of stuff!

 

Thanks. Been building it up for awhile. Started with the contractor saw about 12(ish?) years ago. Personally I think a miter or table saw are the best to start with.

Also still need to build the drill press cabinet and get a band saw.
