the garage
doers get more done - share projects you're working on - woodworking, fabrication, automotive, electrical, smithing, general garage tinkering etc.
rough or refined, wip or final - anything goes. talk shop, give/get advice, cold beers in the fridge

Moved my pen plotter to the garage where I have the space to double the width. This is one key part of an ongoing garage reorg with many such side quests. Excited to making bigger full-scale mechanical drawings! Now to wire it back up…

I’m working on cleaning out the garage which is a complete mess after Christmas with the piled recycling and other stashed miscellany. Random shit everywhere.
Starting today with the important stuff, like tuning bikes and refinishing the fixture table 😂
Any advice for an efficient workshop space?

New year, new (to me) lock actuator. The old keyless solenoid stopped working, mostly in cold weather, curiously. Found a cheap replacement locally via eBay. Works better now.

posting this here to remind everyone who has a girlfriend that in a couple months when we're REALLY broke to do something nice for your girl for valentine's day that doesn't cost a thing but is really sweet all the same.

Air compressor has been my standard procedure for cleaning the shop vac air filter.
Until I used the leaf blower.
