Feels like I’ve been drilling forever. Each panel will be gasket or silicon sealed. Center panel will be rivnutted and the rest (likely) riveted. Center panel will serve as an access panel just in case I need to get inside. All read and side panels are mounted from the inside out for a...

More progress on the powder coating booth. Also made a few more organizers for the welding table specifically for clamps. Both are prototypes (fancy word for me not being sure I like the design yet or not). This one is for Ratchet clamps This one for locking c-clamps

Tool caddy and clamp rack are working well. For the first time in months the fab table was clean when I was starting. The grommets work semi-ok. For smaller tools it’s perfect. For larger ones that have some weight , like the belt sander in the pic, they lay over. I’ll make some tool...

Believing or not it took me a day to make and install half of them. The 4-way intersections are probably the coolest looking. The lower tabs create a shelf so each of the shelves can be lifted one at a time and set in place. And finally time to put this thing together To conserve...

Got the weekend started with loading up the cart. Most of the pieces are doors for the kitchen. The top has some white maple (scraps) I’ll use for face frames as I get back into the cabinet build. Organized disorganization but got my wood working fab table cleaned off and for that I’m...

Another project in the pile to share - for all of my build cycles the most common challenge is managing the parts as they move between sub-processes. I have an extreme duty shop cart which was one of six I built about 20-some years ago for my business which I use frequently. You’d be...

You’d think I’d be sponsored at this point. Or running stickers with some kinda kickback on views. Sadly no, I’m just damn good at installing rivnuts. May go pro in 2027. 🤣

Sure, don’t mind at all. 1/2” ID is key, there’s many different OD’s which may help make retrofitting your setup easier. Buna-N Rubber Grommet for 13/16" Hole Diameter and 1/8" Material Thickness, 1/2" ID https://www.mcmaster.com/product/9307K27

I like it and the utilization of space is prime

After work i decided it was time to install a few upgrades to my fireball dragon wagon welding table. Most ends of projects start with a delivery from McMaster. Seems like I get one weekly now. This is a storage rack that is designed to keep the welding table accessories readily available but...

Yes, we have the energizer bunny, we’ll have in years past. Haven’t seen those commercials for a while. I suppose I’m like that in some regards. If it keeps the blood flowing anyway!

Man, you put more than 1 in your space you’ll have enough for a lifetime and a half!! You have more than one too?! Hot damn…youngest about deals or discounts, let me know. I paid like $80 for the roll. Feels super expensive even if a sheet lasts a long time. EMT, good idea. Interesting to...

That’s the way I was leaning as well as long as the roll will fit in the (over head) cabinets. They’re only 12” deep. Would be ideal

Roll. I read some reviews that indicated that the box version has feeding issues and to solve some are then removing them from the box, folding them, and keeping them in a stack. That would piss me off. Ya. I’ve not spent a lot of time thinking about how to store them but the roll is...

Well, I got a HUGE roll of the Wypall PowerClean x80 and I gotta say @zmotorsports, it’s even better than I gathered from your post. I used literally one sheet to clean all the counter tops, all The drawer pulls, and some of the tool organizers. I folded it in 4 and kept rotating the clean...
