I went out and bought a sheetmetal 3 in 1 folder / shear / roller to fold up some draws for my work bench. Cost me $600 AUD off ebay, local pickup, and I get some ball bearing roller slides. BUT... I just spotted the toolchests and cabinet Ive pictured here so I ran out and bough 3 chests and a...

I made that door a while ago, it was the entrance to my showroom, where I displayed my blacksmithing work. There is also a very ornate "tree gate" further up the path that leads to the door, that took me 3 months to make... I dont do that work anymore, so its now just a fancy entrance to my...

Minor update, walls are up, paint is next. the fire extinguisher was a birthday present from my wife this week, Ill mount that when the walls are painted. The rusty steel frame is going to be my new AMAZING workbench.. Its going to get sandblasted and painted glossblack. Im buying a 3in1...

Anyone? Is epoxy/tiles the only option?

Hardiflex or hardiplank is.... um ... not sure how to describe it, its 4.5mm thick, fibrous/cement type of board. You can break it quite easily but its tougher than platerboard. Its weather resistant also, it soaks up water a bit but just dries out. About 2x the price of platerboard, its often...

Im looking to jazz up my floor and have looked at just using waterbased paving paint. Its made by white knight and isnt cheapo paint so should be reasonable quality. I dont know if I can be bothered with epoxy or tiles so was wondering how just using paint would go? I do a lot of metal work in...

Small update, wall is getting covered... Im using hardiplex instead of plater board, I find hardiplex more durable and I cant be bothered with all the finishing/plastering/sanding required for plaster board, should still look ok when its painted. The fridge is not quite finished yet, I need to...

Yeah I bought it used and installed it a few years ago, drops temp by about 10 degrees, winters here are great, summers are pretty warm, about 15-20 days of over 40 c. I used to do blacksmithing in this building so with the forge etc it was pretty warm. Yeah Charger goes well, Ive just put a...

Yup AC, gets to 45 celcius here in summer, 360 is the same, awesome engines. The Aus charger did mainly come with the 265 hemi 6 but a bunch of other engines also, 225,245, 340 and 360 V8's, mine was originally a 6 though. Shed is coming along, inside has had a lot of the junk removed and is...

Well Ive put my bid in now... no more freaking every time I drop my incandesent worklight...

Ahh, Ive never had one of these... thats why Im looking for one. Ive used the incandesant lightbulb type till now, I thought these types were just a flouro tube, I like the idea of these, and Ive got a "thing" for LED's...

I was thinking of getting one of these Ebay cordless worklight I like the cordless idea and it can do 240 or 12 volt. Not sure if the leds go all the way around though, hard to tell from pics, anyone tried one? Just had another look, looks like leds on one side only, wonder if that will...

Madmax was almost a good call, although that was a Falcon coupe... but yes its an aussie charger, I brought it to Australia with me when I moved over from New Zealand. It was my first car!! bout it about 16 years ago when I was 19.....

That thing has been sitting in a shed not being driven for a few years... Its a 13 second 360 charger, paint is bumper paint as I just wanted a quick tidy up on all the body work and primer etc. I wouldnt call it industrial though lol

Yeah theres a lot of weight up there, prolly more like 500lbs.... but the bracket is strong. Its all coming down soo so I can insulate and cover the wall.
