Did this to mine, works perfect!! Wished there was a battery led solution. I improvised and used alien tape to stick the junction box to the saw. The link below is the YouTube video which provided the instructions. Bosch Glide Shadowline

I live in Ottawa, Ontario and spent a significant time researching garage floorings. Much like the OP, my floor was old, cracked and uneven. My garage is actually my shop for steel fabrication (personal hack only) and as such needed to withstand hydraulic jacks, welding and significant physical...

I installed porcelain tile in my garage and couldn't be happier. Welding, jack stands, harsh solvents and even dropping a 3-ton HW jack from my work bench haven't been an issue. Here is my 2 cents; (1) Ground down the high spots around any cracks or ridges if any. (2) I used a self leveling...

Veto bags are pricey for sure, but much like yourself I also follow the GJ philosophy of "buy once, cry once". I have several Veto bags, both fully enclosed and an open version. They are fantastic. The build quality is the absolute best and there is no doubt that they will be around long after...

Upland Manufacturing near Winnipeg Manitoba https://uplandmfg.com/ Found this company by accident. A Facebook reel popped up advertising these side mounted full extension tool boxes. I have been toying with the idea of making my own with the new Miller spool gun. The company featured in the...

The dissimilar metals would suggest something other than true "galling" as already mentioned, is at play. I work with stainless fasteners everyday, and from my experience galling occurs most frequently during the installation/removal process (heat/spin speed) and isn't something that just...

Like many others, my clamps are used primarily for metal fab. Stole the idea from the GJ braintrust of storing them on my welding rack.

I am certain the bill will be huge but would spray foam be an option?

This certainly won't be a recommendation for everyone but curious if others have seen this too. Several years ago when I was stockpiling tools as I built my shop I came across a huge pile of old taps from a machinist. As per the GJ recommendation, old American and Canadian made taps are to be...

Not sure if the same laws apply in America, but in Canada commercial gas ranges are prohibited in residences. The reason cited is pilot lights are no longer allowed in a private home. Residential gas stoves now must be equipped with piezoelectric ignition. Commercial electric ranges, ovens etc...

I use my butane torch all the time especially for heat shrink. In recognition of frequency of use, I felt compelled to purchase more better torches. As it turns out the more expensive models incorporated safety features which challenged fast one handed firing. I have circled back and use the...

How cold? As an Asian I can confirm things shrink in colder temps. Was the door measured in the summer? :LOL:

Not sure of anyone else, but has anyone ever won anything from Milwaukee and those "tickets" included with every Fuel tool? I have submitted at least 100....Nada. Please let this be the life altering change.

This exactly, unless you plan on only turning on the heat when you want to work in the shop. Certainly radiant is much slower to get the whole place heated to a comfortable ambient temp. If you do not plan on always heating the shop, then perhaps radiant may not be the option for you.

Bandsaw and jointer as others have said. But if you could use 6/4", maybe a thickness planer would be easier. Ripping oak 2x6 will require a pretty beefy bandsaw :LOL:
