That is Awesome!!!!!!

 

Upgraded my welding helmet after I bought a new welder and plasma cutter. Absolute game changer for me from the cheap helmet I used to have.

The Lincoln viking 3350. The clarity is awesome, and having true colours is great. My old hood made everything green with a tiny view screen and awful clarity, I was mostly just guessing when I was welding. Now I can actually see!

 

That cabinet is awesome!

 

Just remember, you can buy/build/find more storage space or you can reduce the amount of stuff that you think you need to store.

I did a big purge about 5 years ago and I think I'm ready for another.

 

In the process of doing both
I have enough crap in a 16x16 to stock a 24x24, and that’s the problem, nowhere to move, and benches and carts are piled with crap.
That I haven’t done much of anything out there in a few years hasn’t helped matters. So it became a catch all with stuff piled on stuff.
The purge is coming

 

Hung a spare 55" tv i had in the garage. Now I can have the TV on while I do work in the garage. I still need to hide those wires and figure out where the fridge goes but came out pretty nice.

 

I feel inferior. My garage TV in only a 46".

haha its all good my friend.

 

New box and new emblem (brother bought the black and we swapped)



Got the tray and upgraded to 4 caster wheels; the 5" with blue wheels at the store are the correct ones and the black wheels that come with the carts swap out directly.

 

nice set up, mines arrange just like that! You could use those cable organizers that Lowe’s and depot sell, I’m sure Amazon has them too

 

i was thinking about something like this but most likely will put the wires in the wall but thanks for the tip!
Contractor is supposed to come by to put up trim and paint (under warranty) but need that done before i really set up that corner. so im going to move my fridge elsewhere.

 

I used this guy for running my TV wires in-wall in an up-to-code way. Has back boxes for the receptacles and romex to go in between them. HDMI or whatever low voltage cables just run in free air. Took maybe half an hour to cut the two holes and wire it up.

Yea saw something like this also. Pretty clean looking. I really may just add a box uptop and relocate the cat6 box behind the tv. id have to patch the wall but that shouldbt be an issue

 

even better. That’s a great way to hide is through the walls. Maybe use a brush plate or like was posted above to route

 

So question. Why would you clutter up your garage with an idiot box? I go to my garage to do fun stuff. Like fix things.

 

Wifi-ing bike and car maintenace tutorials on youtube, etc from a 5 inch phone to a 50 inch TV is pretty nice.

Working on MTBs and having some bike edit going for background, etc

 

That’s what greasy shop manuals are for.

 

We just re-watched 50 First Dates last night. Good movie.
Nice garage tv.

 

Mostly wood working and mechanics hand tools.
