    Pricing on metal (raw material)

    Love Fazio's! If you have a list, it would be worth your while to drive down. They are cheap. They'll also cut and bend for you too. Call them or fax them for prices of what you want.

    work benches... from scratch

    Crappy pictures but here is mine. The base/frame is 2x6's on 18" centers with 4x4 post legs (6). The top is 2 pieces of 3/4" MDF with a piece of 1/2" MDF in the center all glued together. The skin is 1/8" Stainless. It's the most solid bench I've ever seen (for wood) and HEAVY! It's also bolted...

    Granite Workbench Top

    I wouldn't use it. Wood or metal for me. In fact, I just bought a piece of stainless steel for my bench. $200. 36 x 96 bent for 4 inch backsplash and 2 inch front drop. 12 ga. I thought it was worth it. Pretty much indestructable.

    Sub panel, feeder, underground conduit, garage wiring and electrical

    Oh, and as suggested earlier, I ran a seperate 3/4" conduit for RG6 and CAT 5. I did the "direct burial" (2 ft.) for power and put the conduit for cable in after backfilling approx 6-8 inches...

    Sub panel, feeder, underground conduit, garage wiring and electrical

    I just put 100 amp service in my small (16x24) motorcycle shop. I took out a permit and did everything by code. 1st off, you can directly bury the conductors (2 ft. min. depth) or run through conduit (min. depth is 18"). the conductors MUST be marked for underground service (USE, USE-2, etc)...
