I have a 65" Smart TV for the shop. My shop is 24x36. The walls are completely covered up in shelving and, wll, shop ****. I have a place I use as a little desk area. Most of the shop is where I work on my Jeeps or what nots. Then I have some woodworking equipment. Everything is on wheels...

24x36 with one 12' wide door on the 24 end. It is a workshop, not a daily parking so I don't mind the movement of cars to get stuff out. It does not happen often. It was the only way it would really fit in the yard. I wanted the sun to rise and set on the sides and not shine directly in the...

I've had them for a few months and they are great so far. Mine do not get hot and I understand heat is what kills them. Very happy so far.

I've not tried it but I understand most of the moisture or air cure stuff in the cans will stay good if you shoot a little welding gas into the can before you seal it up. The argon/nitrogen displaces the oxygen moisture and stops the curing process.

So I needed over $400 worth of slides from Matco. Decided to try some other options. Went to lowes and purchased some 20 inch full extension drawer slides. With some modification, I took the original matco slide that attached to the drawer and pulled the new slide apart. The old drawer slide...

i think that is a great storage solution. You can look of Facebook marketplace and find a used box for much less than a new one.

I just installed some lights from amazon. Started with a B. 8' and 4' They are fantastic for light output

I just had one built. A 24x36. When I talked to the building people, they gave a nice drawing showing the basic structure I submitted to my HOA. That was approved. Then I went and called the building department for the permit information and told them what I was doing. They knew the company...

Just picked up 2x4x8 at $7.78 each and 2x6x16 for $13.32. May be a bit off on the cents but I think that is right.

You can but you will have to attach the cleat to the backs of the cabinets. It is easy to use some trim to hid the gap once they are on the wall. The issue you might have is the back, if not mortised into the sides with a rabbit or something, is they are just held on with glue or maybe a screw...

Look up french cleats. You could design individual shelves that would hold as much weight as you wanted. You may need to make steel cleats and steel shelves but it could be done. And making french cleats, you could move them and change them as needed.

My Dad found this for $140. It is a craftsman and has friction slides. It is not on wheels. The open areas appear to be intentionally left open, not just places where drawers were removed. At first I thought it was a combination of two of their workbenches that were added together in a...

This. French Cleats are best at supporting weight on a wall of cabinets.

Were it me, I"d only do it if I could consult with a structural engineer. Or I could go to a truss company and have new trusses made that had the needed changes designed into it and then installed them before removing the old parts.

Got part numbers from Matco..CHRN-023R and CHRN-123L. Bring the big money, slides are $38 per side. But the have them.
