Garage Shop: Tools

https://youtu.be/pY7nx5Z6Kzo

 

Use like a spud wrench to align parts like flanges. Okay for small stuff. But if I ever caught one of my guys using channel locks instead of proper wrenches on flange nuts & studs they were educated right quick. Only reason to use them is being too lazy to go and get the right tools.
Those things mess up nut flats so the guy that follows has nothing but trouble fixing your dumb ass mistake.

 

We’ve got a two and a half car garage, but no basement. So I’ve been trying to figure out how to maximize space. Wife said what do you want for Xmas? I thought about it and said order the shit I have in the Amazon shopping cart. I wanted a shelf that hung from the joists and new lights. Boom! Early Xmas.

Plus this way I don’t get some jacket or something I dislike and return anyways.

The garage isn’t done but it’s getting better.

 

This made me laugh harder than it should have.

 

This seems a "Bit" excessive

 

Way to organized!!!I like the bench

 

I don't see excessive. I say "double down" LOL. Nice drawer. And that's the nicest work bench I've seen in a while.

FB marketplace find x2
$80 each I need the storage BAD ! this is only the beginning of organization

 

I could use half a dozen of those.
If you have room for it, check into the gorilla racks. They hold 1300 lbs per shelf. Sam's, Lowes, HD, & Costco all carry them. I bought 2 of them for around $160 each. Definitely worth the money.

 

Im broke (ish) and cheap, this is going in a 16x16shed not going to spend big money until I can have concrete floors and actual roll up doors.
Surplus and FB is just fine.
we bought his place 20 years ago knowing we had the room to build a nice garage, we still have that room, medical crap and other (not)niceties keep getting in the way.
My lucky number might come up one day, until then just keep plugging along

 

Been looking for cabinets just like that for months. Nice find.

 

I wish I could find lockers like you scored. The ones I have seen, that are similar, were $400. That's too much for me. I like the $80 each you spent a lot better.

 

The guy had a bunch, gets them regularly, sells them quickly

watch FB marketplace

funny part here was I had contacted another guy about same cabinets but they were 45miles away and he only had one left, was on the way to get that when this guy responded, he was 6 miles away....guess where I went ?
Turns out they know each other and they bought them same time same place.
I don’t watch often only when I have the extra to spend.

 

I don't do FB. I've been told you can get some good deals if you watch it closely. I might have to get my wife to start looking for me. By the time I would buy plywood, hardware, hinges, and locks, it would cost me more than the $80 you got them for.

 

and the store bought cabinets are 5x the price and 1/3 the quality

 

I found my retro cabinet for $35 at a thrift shop. The deals are out there.

Thanks. I made it a few years ago. Weighs a damn ton, but it’s sturdy af.

 

I would love to find an old storage cabinet like that. Along with an old refrigerator to match.
