Very nice set up.

I'd like to pose a question here...except for filling up tires and plowing off dust, I prefer electrical tools over air. How about y'all?

kinda, i guess it depends..... an electric drill is awesome, because i cant supply enough air with my compressor to run an air drill, but an air impact will run circles over my electrical impact

Air ratchet, air hammer are nice. I like air impact cause they are way smaller than electric to get into tight spaces.

I guess I forgot about impact guns.

Nice space dude! congrats on the house! the only thing i could suggest is doing the same thing you did with your air to some 110 in front and rear of garage. that way if you need a drop light or extension cord its there, and all you do is let it wind back up for easy storage.

Totally! A electrical reel will be key. I have way too much power going to the work bench, two 20 amp circuits. So I think I am going to extend one up to the ceiling for a reel and the other under the bench for permanently plugged in items, like the small drill press, phone, battery chargers, and bench grinder. I hate loose plugs always on the bench

Well I've been goofing around the garage so I built a clamp rack thingy and a holster for my mig gun. It seems every time I set it down I loose 5 feet of wire. Also got a new hood, my buddies HF kept flashing me and my eyes are screwed up enough. So here you go and a pict from before I started.

Well I figured out a few more things I need today, obviously a floor jack, taller jack stands, and a bottle opener on the work bench. I had today off and the girl was at work so I finally had time to work on the rig.

During the roundup I stripped my rear drain plug out and had to cross-thread a new one back in(thanks Rocky). So today I decided to pull the axle and shave it. Things went really quick finally having a garage, but still had to use a bottle jack and lumber under my jack stands to get them to frame height. So here are the pictures.

Nice garage! I cant wait until I get one.... Axle is lookin good too! $Beer Chug\'n$

brockbuilt85 · « **Reply #46 on:** Nov 20, 2010, 11:09:53 AM »

ive always wondered, when people shave their axle, how do they drain it? lift up one end and take out the axle?

I have a spare rear housing, I am gonna do the same thing, good info and pics. I might rotate mine a little bit towards the Tcase, so I can keep my calipers in the same position + Armor.

Garage is looking good.

Thanks, while I have it out and empty I'll probably put on some good protection.

Ok, I just found some old guy on craigslist who lives 2 blocks from me and is selling all his crap. So I got a Milwaukee chop saw, an oxy acetylene torch with full tanks, and a harbor freight bender (I know they suck) with all the dies for 200 bucks.

ninja turtle · « **Reply #53 on:** Nov 22, 2010, 10:09:20 AM »

good deal. i need to get new tanks, the lease is up on mine.. ten years went by way to fast

Slolyfe · « **Reply #54 on:** Nov 23, 2010, 07:10:08 PM »

Well another busy day. Bought a few things, torch with owner bottles, tube bender($20), 3 ton floor jack, and a 12 ton press. Also finished the axle and about to put it in.

Hooked up today with the old guy who I got most my stuff from, Hung out and listened to stories of his racing days. He is cleaning out his shop and has a ton of tools. Got this off him for 25 bucks. Also getting another air compressor for free. Its a Craftsman 33 gallon 6 hp. Here's the press...

I just ended up running a soft hose up to my hose reel. It's been working good for now.

Built a cart for my torch and a flower vase for the lady. She saw one like this in a store for 200 bucks. It was good to play with sheet metal a little. Gonna let it rust up.
