What's in your garage?

You can see the right mirror of my bike...
The "Brady Hardware" sign was being thrown out from a local business. I rescued it. I'm told the lights don't work, but I haven't really investigated.
The traffic light is plugged in to the garage door opener, so when the garage door opener light turns on, the traffic light turns on.
My grandfather's hand drill is on top of the "d" in "hardware" and my father's medical bag from his residency is on the "ar".

I really like my Motion Pro carb adjustment tool: https://www.amazon.com/Motion-Pro-Ca.../dp/B001DDH2ZY On my GS, you do need to remove part of the choke to use it. I like a nice set of t handle allen wrenches, and also 3/8" drive allen wrenches. A multi meter in necessary, and a trouble light is nice. I don't have room for a bike stand. I find that I use the heck out of a low rolling stool. I use the heck out of this one: https://www.harborfreight.com/mechan...eat-61653.html I've been using a step ladder instead of the IV stand. I use the heck out of quarter inch drive ratchets, but I've got up to 1/2" drive. A soldering iron and shrink tube is useful, as is a decent crimper and decent connectors to crimp. For me, PB Blaster is crap. I like liquid wrench much more. I like Kroil the best, for a penetrating oil. http://www.kanolabs.com/google/?gcli...0aAlkkEALw_wcB Drive bits for your screw driver are great. I also like a low power electric screw driver. My hands hurt pretty quickly from repetitive motion of a screw driver. My drill has a lot of power that I usually don't need. A vice on the work bench is useful.

We had quite a mess in our garage. After getting rid of a parts bike we had a yard sale, then hauled a load of junk away. Now we can fit both bikes and a car in here. I plan on keeping it clean this time.

Yeah right! LOL

I guess, in regards to the original post, must haves in here for me are a radio, good lighting, ventilation, bench vice, air compressor, welder (both stashed under the shelf) rolling multi drawer tool chest, and hopefully the tire changer will prove to be a valued addition to this collection of stuff.

Before spring cleaning it looked like this.


Now I could almost make a u turn in there.

Roger, now you have plenty of room to embed your new tire changer into the garage floor.

The paint over sprays on the floor have a vague resemblance to body chalk-lines. haha.
Got some dead household projects?

That's funny.

Here's what those lines are from. We used to build the backdrops for VBS at our church. That year the skit needed a castle so I framed 4X8 sections of wall with steel studs, and covered them with Masonite. We were able to reuse those wall sections every year, sometimes taking them apart and building doors or whatever, then repainting them for the new theme.



Yeah, about the tire changer. I'm not sure where it will live yet. Maybe bolted to some boards for stability but movable. we'll see.
