Buy as much as u can in the USA as the AU prices will make u cry. A lot of the 3 phase and inverter stuff will be fine.

Keep in mind what he is talking about here .. 99.9% of people will never need anything over 3/4" and a 1" and larger is little more than a decoration or tool **** unless you are playing in the big end of town. The question I have is do you have the tooling to go with it ? You make no mention...

Cheers, I guess you missed what I was saying, cool floor either way

Bummer to hear about the down grade in space, at least you still have a space I guess. Can't help you on the pics as I host mine external and just post links.

Ok so here is the big question, I am about to put some PVC Tiles down in my shop and need to decide between if I want to see the interlocking tabls or not. The floor will be a pattern so the tiles will vary in colour so I am inclined to think the the interlocking may look a little odd. So what...

How do you find using a trolley jack with all that sand on the floor ?

I will let you know in a few weeks when my floor goes down. :drool:
