Garage Journal: Floor Jack Time
Floor Jack Time   I’ve been using the same floor jack for over 15 years. I think I bought it at a garage sale in Norman, OK… It has served me well through the years, but I’m finally ready to step up [...]
Garage Journal: Garage Door Security
Garage Door Security   I’ve always just tied my garage doors into my home security system using senors similar to those posted above. It works, but it’s admittedly clumsy. The wireless outfits are scary simply [...]
Garage Journal: Swedish Military Boxes
Swedish Military Boxes   Looking for some handy bench top organizers for your work bench? The Swedes solved this problem with some bitchin’ and reportedly indestructible “organization” boxes. I was first [...]
Garage Journal: Walk Thru Garage Doors
Walk Thru Garage Doors   I stumbled on these garage doors and thought they were interesting. Essentially, they implement a man-door in a working/traditional garage door. At first thought, this might seem like a double up of [...]
Garage Journal: Inspiration
Inspiration   Let me guess… You are half way through your garage remodel and have lost steam. You are beginning to wonder why in the hell you started to begin with. Too much work, too much sweat, too much [...]
Garage Journal: The Vices of The Garage Journal
The Vices of The Garage Journal   This thread actually started in November of 2009. It has quickly become one of my favorite threads on the site… If you are into vices (and who isn’t?), you need to do yourself a favor and [...]
Garage Journal: DOGFIGHT Magazine
DOGFIGHT Magazine   We’ve recently introduced a new site to the Atomic Network and while it’s still currently under BETA testing, I figured I would give you fellas a heads up. DOGFIGHT Magazine will cover the [...]
Garage Journal: The Gas Station Attendant
The Gas Station Attendant   This is pretty rad… Steve Johnson is a forum member and a sponsor. He runs Garageart.com and happens to be heavy into nostalgic gas and oil stuff. Recently he got the idea to reproduce the old [...]
Garage Journal: Moriarity's Lawn Mower
Moriarity's Lawn Mower   Mark Moriarity is a bit of a legend in some circles. He’s probably the world’s most renowned restorer off all things crazy and wacky from the late 1950’s up through the 1960’s. [...]
Garage Journal: Just An Old Garage
Just An Old Garage   This is just about as neat of a post as you are gonna find here on The Garage Journal. I got an email from one our new members and rather than restate it with glowing words, I figured I would just cut [...]
Garage Journal: Griot's Oil Recevier
Griot's Oil Recevier   So I’ve got three of those cheap plastic oil receivers that you get at Autozone and other local parts houses. I detest all three of them. My cars are low and I’ve got to get them way up in [...]
Garage Journal: Homemade Tools
Homemade Tools   I was cruising the H.A.M.B. this morning and stumbled on to an old post covering hand made tools. I thought you fellas might enjoy it as much as I did. Check it out here. And… while we are at [...]
Garage Journal: Allsop Folding Wheel Cart
Allsop Folding Wheel Cart   I hate yard work… almost as much as I hate yard “tools” cluttering up my garage. I mean, my garage is for car stuff – not yard tools! In any case, my wife still likes to work [...]
Garage Journal: OKC Garage
OKC Garage   I was browsing the Hillerman Collection, an archive of vintage photography from around the Oklahoma City area, and stumbled across this shot of an incredible garage. It makes me wonder if folks took [...]
Garage Journal: Big Ass Fans
Big Ass Fans   I was at a buddies shop this weekend and happened to look up. There was no way of missing it – My buddy had the biggest damned ceiling fan I’ve ever seen. I mean, it was huge. Of course, I [...]
Garage Journal: Lamborghini Factory
Lamborghini Factory   A few years ago, we did a feature on the Ferrari factory… In fairness, we thought we should hit up the Lambo factory as well. The ideas that can be gathered for our own man spaces are admittedly [...]
Garage Journal: A Modern Shed
A Modern Shed   I love modern architecture – fresh ideas, clean lines, and simplicity just do it for me. Apparently, I’m not alone. One of our members, Lupinsea, is just starting a shed build using [...]
Garage Journal: Handmade Titanium Tools
Handmade Titanium Tools   Tom Anderson is well respected in the “Everyday Carry” world for his gorgeous titanium pens and his high performing torches. However, he also makes titanium tools as well and I figured [...]
Garage Journal: The Cycle Shop
The Cycle Shop   I frequent a blog called The Vintagent. Essentially, it covers vintage motorcycles from an intelligent podium founded mostly on experience. Recently, I was browsing the back logs and came upon this [...]
Garage Journal: Reclaimed Benches
Reclaimed Benches   So earlier this week we talked about moving and restoring vintage barns to be used as work shops. Once you get that sucker up on your property, what do you fill it with? Admittedly, I sometimes love [...]
Garage Journal: Heritage Barns
Heritage Barns   I’ve talked a ton about my love for old barns in the past. There’s just something about a structure that comes with it’s own history and soul. They speak to me… Anyway, [...]
