It's 30 miles to the hardware store. I can make anything at my joint.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

I don’t have a garage. Wife thinks we do. What we really have is a wood shop. And a pretty complete one at that. Jointer, planer, tablesaw, bandsaw, drill press, lathe, etc.
No pic as it is a complete mess at the moment.

Most of y’all could throw away/donate 95% of the stuff in your garage and probably never miss it.
You might end up having to replace something for $20 that you got rid of, but 99 times out of 100 it would be worth it not having to deal with the messes everyday that most of you have and for peace of mind.
Never understood having a $50 worth of junk taking up space in the garage while parking a 50k truck outside because there isn’t room for it in the garage.
It makes zero sense to me. This is the viewpoint of someone who lives in or near a densely populated area or state. If you had to fix something, today, or even tomorrow, and the nearest town where you could obtain it was a hundred or two hundred miles away...you would have a different view. Out here, the prudent man never throws anything away...a fitting, a bolt, a piece of steel, a piece of pipe, a piece of wire, a tool... Blake’s Law: The longer you hold onto something for some potential future use, the sooner you will need it after discarding it.

got tired of mine looking like a garage sale exploded in it about 3 years ago went from this ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/dNpB29W.jpg) to this ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/9DUyqFv.jpg) That's a nice transformation. Not sure where you live, but even out here in almost Nowhere'sville, I'd be leery of having safes seen while the garage door is up. Always remember, just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not watching you, and trying to steal your stuff.

Kind of a sore subject with me. 53 years old and I've never had a garage. Shoulda never gave up control of the checkbook when I got married.

Wouldn't stop someone pulling it out with a truck but it would slow down someone trying to dolly them out. I wish I had some of the bench setups the other guys have in their pics. I'd just spend all my waking moments out there if I did.

Out here, the prudent man never throws anything away...a fitting, a bolt, a piece of steel, a piece of pipe, a piece of wire, a tool... It is for sure not densely populated where I live. When we farmed keeping stuff was more important. Even then most of it was junk. There’s useful stuff and then there’s junk. It was more important to keep stuff when we farmed. Even then a lot of the stuff people keep is junk.

I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

One or two of the places I've lived, I've had to build a shed or have one moved on, before someone came and requested I give up my man card.

Dude, y'all know that meth stuff is a issue in the hinterlands of Out West. We got a little compound started up 1/4 mile or so up the road, PoPo been out there numerous times in the 10 moths or so they've lived there. Animal control, Child services, I think we've gotten code enforcement lookin' at them too. In the olden days we'd a run'd em oft by now. Maybe be a few new holes dug up in the juniper woods too.

Some very neat and organized folks.
Garage has deteriorated into a storage shed over 25 years.
Was thinking of just lighting it on fire.
