    Best way to make a rough concrete floor smooth

    Grind it. Costco grinds their floors to an 800 grit finish out here In CA. I hired the actual guy who does the Costcos. Great experience and result. That was 10 yrs ago at $3.00 a sqft “friends and family“ pricing. Two guys to do 1800 ft in 2 days. No idea what it costs now. Would 100% do it...

    Between 485 & 705 SQ/FT Mid-Century Moto Mecca Makeover

    Nice! I think Profoto had a similar dish back in the late 80’s? I owned that version. A lot better than lugging an HMI with a ballast. You should try to get a utility patent on yours at the very least

    Giraffe pressure washers

    Chinese junk I’m afraid. If you use it once or twice a month probably OK for a while. My buddy washes a few cars weekly and he had broken plastic pieces in 4 months. He bought the Plus version. YMMV. Edit: just saw @sashik3 posted about one in June. Maybe dm him?

    The New Atomic World HQ

    Congrats on the move! Hopefully the shop is close to your new castle. LED overheads would make a relatively cheap difference to start, no?

    Need new flashlight

    https://www.amazon.com/Maglite-3-Cell-Flashlight-Tactical-Black/dp/B00QQ9S1W8/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I have too many flashlights ( I can admit that here) but this XL50 and older XL100's are all over my house in various drawers etc. Always work. Bright enough for most domestic things. I have...

    Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT From losing everything to being cash-poor and shop-rich in "only" five years!

    When I read ” house priests” I went back through the prior three pages of posts thinking that I missed something :lol_hitti :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    The OKnife U1 Utility Folder

    They are super sharp. Hold an edge better than the Dewalt or Milwaukee IMO. You can occasionally find them on Amazon. I bought a lifetime supply the last time I saw them. 😎 I am a huge fan of Tajima tools for woodworking. Commercial grade stuff mostly. Ebay is your friend

    The OKnife U1 Utility Folder

    Good News. Just picked up this C.H.U.B. flipper for $90+ tax online. Quite a few sites with the same price so it looks like Chaves were able to get the price down without too much compromise.

    Home workshop collective group

    I hear ya. What I was thinking was if they had something specific that you needed (“ check it out before you pay”) then it might be an option. So if they had a 2” tube die that you referenced, it might be easier and safer to use it in a place like this. If it’s not for you- that’s cool. I have...
