Doesn't look like much, but that took hours to do so far. It looks like a train wreck at the moment though! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I see what you mean. My table saw can't really go anywhere else though. Yes I am going to add shelves from the ceiling in the back. Once I can get to it... Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Also I replaced the roof on the garage last fall and there were a few leak areas I avoided for a couple months prior to fixing it. As you can see the drywall missing in the pics. Now that I can leave the cars out for a week or 2 I want to pull everything away from the back wall, fix the ceiling and paint it. That is why I am trying to decide what I want to do this time since it will be a fresh start. I am still leaning towards shelves in the back. There is a 3.5"h x 36"d lip in the back of the garage so I can't keep things on casters back there. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Yes I have way too much junk in there! The bare space to the left of that shelf is where I park my car. I have a single and a double door. I park on the single side and the wife parks on the double side. That shelf in the pic splits the bays. I am 6'4" and I don't have much head room at the back of the garage so I have always been against hanging stuff from the ceiling. All of those boards are 1x12 pine I bought at an auction, there are more behind the folding tables too. I plan to make more shelves in my shed, basement and in the garage to store this junk. I started cleaning last night after the pics and I am starting to make headway around my work bench area. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I had the same, it really sucks when you plow snow too. I usually get a decent amount of OT plowing, but this year I only got 4 hours. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I would also like to point out that the Milwaukee 18v charger also charges their 12v pack so just because you start out with an 18v don't mean you can't get 12v too. Depending on the tools may dictate the voltage. This is my setup with a mix of both. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

It has been over 10 years since I have used a Dremel and I don't think they had those then? I remember the reinforced wheels were a little better, but I never had a need for it. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Also check out the special tools offered before you buy a conventional combo set. I love the size and feel of the Milwaukee Hackzall compared to a conventional sawzall and for the light duty jobs I use it for its perfect. I use it to cut conduit, pvc, steel pipe, and I have cut a few pieces of wood too. Bosch has a very similar saw and they also make great tools. It still comes back to your budget and what tools you mainly want. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I just had this discussion on here the other day about 12v vs 18v and I ended up getting the Milwaukee M12 Fuel hammer drill and impact with a free right angle drill from Home Depot. I currently have the Milwaukee 18v too so this is not my only tool line. Describe what you consider intermittent heavy use. Also what tools would you want, as in circular saw, sawzall, drill, etc. Also a budget you want to stay around. You can get a decent diy Ryobi multi tool combo kit for the price of a drill/impact kit of Milwaukee or Dewalt. I am a diy guy who uses my tools weekly and I upgraded to Milwaukee last fall from Black and Decker 18v and my new 12v Fuel (brushless) are way stronger than my bd 18v tools, my M18 tools destroy them. That being said, Dewalt, Rigid, and Makita all make a great product. Ryobi, Kobalt, Porter Cable and Craftsman make decent products for the homeowner. I have corded tools for each of my cordless because I was used to the black and decker. After using Milwaukee and a friend's Dewalt tools I know I could throw the corded ones away for the most part. If I am going to use a saw for extended periods I would still grab a corded. I hope that helps... Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

It was nice this week here in NE Ohio and it looks like next week will be decent too. Minus the rain for a week straight.

I have owned a few rotary tools over the years, but I never used them for much. I always broke the cut off wheels in seconds and gave up. Great videos guys.

That is a great impact, I just got mine last week. Your piece of drywall reminds me of the cubes for kids to learn shapes!

I have a small section of peg board on the first shelf/bench I made 10 years ago and I works ok. I do like it in my gun room, I have most of my collection on pegs. I really liked Boondock Saints and Tremors... As for using it for tools I always had just as much luck with a nail or screw as i did a peg.

I bought it at an auction. I was going to use it for scrap wood or firewood but it's too big Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

That is my reply too! She thinks I am crazy, but I make a point to show her when I reuse something Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I inherited the craftsman table saw, band saw, drill press, jointer and 2 old junk compressors that are beside the bandsaw behind the folding tables and that is when things went down hill for me. It's great having these tools and I can't get rid of them, but they take up way too much room. I use the craftsman table saw weekly and I added wheels to it, but the rest are too buried to use. That shop bin and a few other items are going to an auction soon so that should clear out some floor space for me. I am a bit of a hoarder when it comes to misc hardware, scrap wood and tools. I always think I will need them for something down the road... Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

It is so much worse than the pictures show. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Wow Kato's shop looks like a photo from a magazine! My garage has a low drywalled ceiling so I am limited there. I will add pics in a little bit. It looks like a tornado went through it though. I buy and sell things at auctions on the side so there is way more stuff in there right now than needs to be Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

We call a candy and chips machine a "vending machine" or a group of misc machines would be "vending machines" Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Mind over matter man. I never win anything!

I am just curious, here in Ohio we call them Pop machines...

These will go great with that Ryobi set I am going to win... Thanks

Hahaha well said Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
