Thanks all! And I had no idea pressure treated wood would have any adverse effect. I figured buying "ground contact" was being being on the safe side. I even thought about painting/staining the base just to add another level of protection. It was already pretty tedious for someone with my...

lol 5 minutes? I hate you right now. I wish I logged how much time I put into these but there's a huge part of me that's glad I don't know that number. I will say the only added benefit with the base is I can overload the bottom cabinet. I've put a good more bit of oil in there and it feels...

Hi All, Sorry for the delay with this. I think the vast majority of internet forum posts just end abruptly and I promised I wouldn't be that guy. So I took pictures throughout the process and wanted to post for reference since this exact question seems to come up on every single site this...

Thanks Craig! I think the issue with that setup is the steel itself. I guess if this unit were left on a floor with no feet installed and never moved, it probably wouldn't crumble the little channel under its own weight. But putting it on a platform makes me a little suspicious about its...

Totally agree! Only thing is I want the casters to sit as close to the edges as possible. If I removed say just the rear flange, I could cut a piece to the full width and angle the slab into the recessed base. But would that make it noticeably more structurally stable than a built in from...

Hi Guys, First, thanks for all the input - I very much appreciate it! And I think I'm at a crossroads but leaning in a certain direction. First, the rivnuts. They ****! I didn't have any bits large enough to drill out the head, so I got a chance to use a Dremel I got over the holidays...

Super quick replies - thank you guys! As far as the rivnuts/ rivetnuts, when you say screw them out, how does that remove them? With my garage, casters will be on everything so I have no concerns about destroying those little babies! And HR, do you know off hand if your series has that...

Installing Casters on Garage Cabinet: Advice (Updated Finished Cabinets) Hello, I finally got access to my garage again and am anxious to use this COVID downtime to setup some storage. I have 3 Gladiator Large Ready-To-Assemble Gearboxes, (72"H x 36"W x 18"D), and need to put them on casters...

Hi All, I'm finally going to make my garage a priority this Summer and acquired 3 Gladiator Ready-to-Assemble Large Gearboxes. They're fine for my planned uses, but it looks like they aren't on casters. The ones made for these cabinets looks to run about $50 per kit and there's a lot of...

Hi All, So I definitely labeled this thread appropriately. :eyecrazy: I went to connect my Impact Wrench last night and see how it responded to my little compressor and I seriously don't know how to connect it. I snapped some photos, (hopefully the attachments are clear. Good thing I'm not...

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! :rocker: Thank you guys! All this time, I've left the poor gift in the box and have been killing myself trying to do some of this stuff on her car with an old pipe as a breaker bar. What a fool! And that analogy is great! :bowdown: Understatement right there, but...

Hi All, I think this has sort of been answered on another older thread I found on the boards, but I'm just trying to see if this really is too good to be true! A few years back, I picked up a small 3 Gallon Craftsman Air Compressor when it was on sale for small things around the house such as...

Approximately how much should I take out? Just wondering what I'd be looking for, ie studs or brick, etc.

Whoa - thanks for all the responses! You also brought up some great points. To be honest, the 2nd story idea would only happen if we came across some insane money, (i want to retire young :D). And if that were the case and we basically had to undo all that we did in converting to a single...

Hi All, First real post here! I've seen this asked before and I know it's technically doable, but does anyone know if it is possible to remove two single garage doors in exchange for one large door without adding additional support, (such as a beam)? My house is similar to the one in the...
