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.

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. Last edited by nlped; 07-10-2019 at 09:09 PM. |

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
After educating myself (YouTube) on the way to use the new a/c machine, my ‘87 R10 has cold a/c!!!

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...

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

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

Re: Finally...a new shop at the house
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 ![]() Last edited by nlped; 05-13-2020 at 10:21 PM. |

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.

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