Garage Shop: Tools

Added that angle grinder holder to my table, and a shelf.

Now just wondering if I should leave it as is and finish the miniature table or not...

 

sort of a big deal for me this time around. after changing jobs 7 months ago, and 'losing' my garage tools to the new job, i finally got a new tool box into the garage so i can actually do stuff out there. just in time for the snow!

it's been a weird 7 months not having tools in the garage to be able to do anything.

 

Congrats on having a tool box back in your garage.

 

I have the slightly stepped down version of that one. Gotta say for a budget machine it does really well!

 

Great deal at northern tool if you need one.

 

Finally got my electrician to install the 220. What cart did you get? Looking at HF and Amazon, there’s a bunch. Hopefully BFriday will make my decision soon.

 

I'd just make one.

 

It's just a Harbor Freight special. It works for now till I get bored and make an actual nice one.

 

Someday

 

Nice thing is, just some square tube and small sheets of steel.

Made mine all in for under $25.

 

Saw this on the Snap On truck today. That's an expensive X-mas tree.

 

This vv

My neighbors were throwing out a security screen door and asked if I wanted it. Yes please. I cut it up and made my welder cart out of it. Building a cart out of scrap/crap pieces is like a rite of passage.

 

I’ve had 40+ years of sheet metal right of passage lol. Been looking for angle and tube stock scrap locally, but I’m relegated to Home Depot and hardware stores. Maybe rework something off of FB or just get HF.

 

Would be much easier ya then!

I see a press brake back there for making your shelf on your new cart

 

Yeah, retired 3 states and 1400 miles away.

 

my friend his cart was about 90% made out of a free metal bed frame. and a set of lawn mower wheels.

 

Cheers to retired life!

Just means you can get projects done quicker

 

You sound like my wife!

 

Lol just speaking from experience; I've been able to finish several small projects...but I tend to put priority to those that pay me

 

lol, same my wife, she got mad at me one day for not getting her projects done and spending all day in the shop with my "stupid friend and his girlfriend" until I handed her $500 and said still want to complain about my shop time. that was 4hrs of work and I made $500 which was half cost a shop told him.
