Re: Finally...a new shop at the house

Finally got the 2nd half of my Red Baron toolcart. I won the top at SEMA a few years ago and forgot about it until a few weeks ago. So I finally bought the roll around cart... pretty cool.

But, FYI .... the base is quite bottom heavy and seems mighty sturdy. I rolled around on it and didn’t flip over...& I’m fluffy

Re: Finally...a new shop at the house

That cart would be handy, and way more organized than my tool drawers, as Greg can attest to from our Wire and Fire.

Thanks moose! I dig it too

I added a new (to me anyway) tool to the shop tonight. It works as it should, but I’ll need to service it and clean it up, so it’ll be PuRtY.

Re: Finally...a new shop at the house

I’ve been cleaning up the ‘new to me’ A/C machine. I rebuilt the vacuum pump and put new oil in it and checked all the lines (which checked out to be good). Now I just have to learn how to work it

Re: Finally...a new shop at the house

I got some really nice LED droplight reels from my wife for my birthday last week. So, I spent a couple of hours this morning mounting them next to my extension cord reels that she got me last year.. yeah, my WIFE!
She’s the BeSt

I still have a cordless LED droplight, but I won’t lose these, nor will the battery go dead midway through a project.

Re: Finally...a new shop at the house

I’ve still been tinkering in the shop. Just a little proof. Servicing my Polaris Ranger on the lift...

I may have missed it. What's the height are the walls?

It looks great!

Wall height is 14’. But if I had it to do over, I would have gone 16’.

Re: Finally...a new shop at the house

I didn't do $hit to Walter this weekend, but I did some cleaning and organizing in the shop. i.e...new bolt & crap bin.

Also a new Beer Drinkin’ sign and a shot of the shop dogs

Re: Finally...a new shop at the house

Good to get the shop organized. I need to do the same in mine.

Mind if I ask where you got your bolt bins? I've been looking for some and most of what I find have cheap frames and plastic bins. Been there, done that and the bins get brittle and crack.

I bought them from Zoro.com. If you do some searching, you can find 25% off coupons, so they are very reasonable. They are made by Durham and seem to be plenty beefy. I’m actually going to get 3 more, I like them so much.

Re: Finally...a new shop at the house

Thanks! Looks like Durham has a good selection. Now to decide how many, where to put them, open-bin style versus removable bins... so many decisions

Re: Finally...a new shop at the house

I have a question for you Cater. Will that tempered glass start to cloud up after you start blasting in your cabinet?

It probably will eventually, but it’s been well over a year and it’s still clear as, well, a window. And at $8, it’ll be easy to replace.

Re: Finally...a new shop at the house

Scored a used (but looks new) Liftmaster Jackshaft garage door opener over the weekend. Had to get a chain master-link and a 3-button controller, but otherwise it’s installed & wired. Once I get it finalized, I’ll throw the cover on and then PoWaH.

Re: Finally...a new shop at the house

I got the opener finalized & like it, but it turns out that I can add sensors to prevent hitting anything when closing. With those, I can change the programming and use an opener to open/close it!?!? Winner!

FWIW, my youngest daughter made me the sign

Re: Finally...a new shop at the house

I also bought 3 more bins from Durham so that I can organize stuff at my work bench. I’m planning to get then hung this weekend.

Re: Finally...a new shop at the house

I finally got a chance to hang the new storage bins and I built a 10’x32” workbench too. I’m going to pull some power to the bench so I can get some light and a collection of plugs for powah and a charging bank.

Absolutely!!! I have a 2-post 9k lift and a 14k 4-post lift with jacks. I really want a 2nd 2-post lift. One for longer term stuff and one for super short term service type work.
