After moving carsoutside,this homeownerrolls out cabinetsto form a worksurfacein his garage.To learnmore, seepage 22.

Frombkay'to'wow!' few months ago, I spent a good portion of a week watching the transformation of a ho-hum ZYz-car garageinto an incredible car buff's backyard escape. (For a closer look at the shop, seepage36.) What a difference five days made. And believe me, the "wow' factor doesn't fade: A revisit months later still took away my breath when the garage door rolled up. But who wouldn't be green with envy gazing at a sparkling epoxy floor? No oil stains would dare linger! That garageis a multitask spacedesigned and organized as many of us imagine our shops.Car-careproducts, previously shuffled around in cardboard boxes, are now neatly organized behind a pair of doors. The adjoining cabinet holds a season'sworth of yard and garden remedies. Paintbrushes and hand tools, neatly lined up like soldiers, beg to be picked up from smooth-rolling drawers. The recent visit to the shop gave me pause. No more excuses:I got the jolt to jump-start and overhaul my own shop. I referredto the planning articles in this issueto lead me every step along the way. How 'bout you? Just picking up this magazine affirms that there's a garage or shop redo on the horizon at your home. So get going! Break the work into bite-size tasks, and you'll be there quicker than you think.

Dollies provide moving experiences

Whenyouswitchto a gluewith longeropen time,you'llgainclampandassembly time. extra assemblytime by choosing a glue that doesn't grab as fast as ordinary yellow carpenter's glue. Franklin makes a version called Extend Titebond II with a slower set time, making it ideal for complex assembliesor when you don't have an assistant. Another one-person strategy is use pocket-screw ioinery. As shown below, the jig guides your bit to bore an angled hole in one workpiece, and you then clamp the pieces to another, drill a matching hole, and securea strong joint with screws (no glue required). If you make a mistake, simply back out the screws and try again. You can craft a wide arruy of ioints, and even build entire face-framecabinetsand furniture projectswith this system.

Moving dollies are helpful additions to any shop for a wide range of tasks, whether you're wheeling a new tool into your shop,shuffling supplies,or rolling out a finished project. TWowheel dollies are good choices when you're moving a stack of boxes or a similar load that's taller than it is wide or deep.But reach for a four-wheel flat dolly for cumbersomeloads or when you want to keep a piecemobile for an extended period of time without lifting it repeatedly. But why choose?Some dollies, such as one manufactured by FastCapat right (seeMcFeely's at Whenmovingcabinetsaroundthe shopor house,it's mcfeelys.com),morph between hard to beat the convenienceof a dolly.This FastCap the two configurations simply SpeedDolliesupportsup to 250 pounds. by moving a handle.

A panel lifter is a big help in moving plywood, drywall, and other sheet goods. Most lifters fit under the panel, and you simply center the carrier in the length of the sheet, as shown opposite. A quick tip: Keep your arm straight to avoid fatigue. Another style of panel lifter squeezesthe top of the sheet,and you hold your hand at shoulder level.

For installing cabinets and other heavy chores, consider the Craftsman Cabinet Support from Sears (olsovecentel.lt quickly adjusts from 50" to 85", and holds up to 400 pounds. Plastic support pads at both ends help protect the floor and the item being installed. There's also a "shorty" version that works in the 17" lo 25" range; it's ideal for installing wall cabinets after the baseunits are in place. The Third Hand Tool, top rigltt, manufactured by FastCap, excels at lightweight holding tasks (up to 70 pounds), such asholding crown or cove molding at the ceiling line. Each pole has a series of ball detents (stops), allowing for fast adjustments in a range

Keep small tools and paris within reach People constantly invent new ways to make good use of magnetism. One clever idea is the magnetic wristband that grabs onto nails, screws, and even small tools and keeps them-quite literally-close at hand. A variation straps around your bicep, and is appropriately named the Tool Band-it (toolbandit.com). With a

Youprobablyhavea friendwho will seizeeventhe flimsiestexcuseasa justification

for buyinga newtool.Butsometimes, eventhe mosthard-bitten tooljunkiewill flinch whenfacedwith purchasing an expensive, productthatwill seelimiteduse. specialized At thesetimes,it paysto takea seriouslookat renting. wo top reasons to consider tool rental are limited necessity and storage issues. For example, you may use a stump grinder to pulverize an annoying stump, but then not need the tool for another decade or two. And a concretemixer may be useful 1 percent of the time, but during the remaining 99 percent of its life, it merely eats up floor spacein your garageor shed.

When buylng makes renJe Let's look at another rent vs. buy scenario: You're laying down a prefinished hardwood floor, and you have all of the tools except a special flooring nailer and'an air compressor.If you're doing only one room, buying the nailer probably doesn't make much sense. But perhaps buying the compressor does because it can help you with many other home and shop chores. 8

(For more about compressorsand airpowered tools, seepage 108). There are no absolute rules on the rent vs. buy calculus,but the 50-percent rule is a good guideline: If the rental fee is likely to be 50 percent or more of the purchaseprice, buying makes sense.

Check around for advice and pricet When you have a rental need on the horizon, check at severalstoresto compare prices as well as the quality of the equipment. If you seeoff-brand tools or poorly maintained equipment, go to another rental center.Most of the time, pricesamong the various'companieswill be similar, but you'll sometimes find a real bargain. Also askabout the rental periods available. There's often a minimum rental period-two hours, for example-that is

the base fee, even if you return the tool sooner. For longer rentals, you'll find weekly and even monthly rates. Sometimes, the day of the week or time of day makes a difference in the rental rate. Again, asking questions may land you a discount. If you can visit the rental store at a slow time, the employeesmay be willing to discussyour proiect with you and offer advice that could saveyou a lot of time, money, and work. For example, you may walk in thinking you need to rent a sandblaster, but a quality pressure washer could be an even better tool for the job.

Popular rental tools Most rental storesdo a brisk businessin carpet-cleaning machines, and it's no surprisethat there's a seasonalnature to the demand. For example, some families want to freshen their house before the Best-Ever Home Shop ldeas
