I built this...It's redwood...I don't worry too much about burning embers because my grill is connected to natural gas. I used Thompsons to protect the wood, but not the UV stuff. I'm sure it won't hold up forever, but it looks really nice... If you want something that will hold up better...

Great thread. Good idea on adding diamond plate to the front of the unit! Seems like a cheap alternative. I have a full size freezer in the garage, as well as a mini-fridge for keeping the beer cold. You can see them on the right hand side of this picture (the mini-fridge is stacked on top...

I used the Do-All cabinets found at local HD, Lowes, and Yard-Birds (local chain...just bought by HD :sad: ) They are easy to assemble, come in a variety of sizes and configurations, and relatively sturdy, though you have to be a bit careful with shelf sag (particle board). The white melamine...

Well, I know I got a new 1/2" drill (I dropped and broke my 40 year old aluminum housed Craftsman drill) Now, I'm thinking I want the Griot's Garage S&P shaker Weber carb: And, I would also like the Griot's Garage Carbon Fiber Switch plates for the garage :shocking: :beer:

Awesome! They look sorta like mine...gotta love those roll up doors. They are quiet :thumbup: We haven't decided on the new colors for the house yet, and I don't want to paint them just to paint them...so its going to wait until next spring...

Dust free I have the Delta unit in my garage since I do lots of woodworking and also park the cars. It helps, but it's not perfect. I think one of the other sources of dust comes from outside, through all the gaps. If you want to keep all the outside dust out, I would suggest installing a...

It hangs from the Ceiling...

You may also want to consider installing an air filtration system. I installed a Delta air purifier: It's got three speeds and a remote. It changes the air in the room often enough for the work I do. I don't run it all the time, but I think it could be run on low when you're not...

Martini Glass, by far... :beer: O.K. Seriously? Um, I'd have to say it's a #2 Phillips.

Privacy Glass. I replace two garage doors on the front of my garage. I wanted windows in the doors, but anybody walking on the sidewalk could look down the driveway and see into the garage. Since I have lots of $$ in tools and cars in the garage, I decided to go with privacy glass. I get all...

Romex I used romex to wire my garage. 12/2 for the most part. There was some 14/2 to the existing lights, and I just left that in place. Hardware and Home Improvement stores sell a small 1.5" X 3" metal plate that tacks onto the studs over where the romex goes through. Make sure to put...

You can see the blade guard (black U-shaped tube) and the guards themselves are "up" because the saw is on a mobile base, and when I'm not using it, I roll the end under the workbench to get it out of the way. I guess it's one of two things: On the extension of the saw, I've installed the...

Here are the other two boxes I have: :beer:

Here's one of my toolbox: And here's one of the work area: I also have an old Gerstner 11 drawer machinists chest (quarter-sawn oak), and a Kennedy 7 drawer machinists chest, but I don't have pic's, so I'll have to take some and post them later... Oh, and if you're wondering what the...

I don't know what codes are like in FL, but here in CA, that looks to be up to code. We don't require fire dampers if I remember correctly. First, I would suggest that you remove the plastic from the unit. If it's working, then there must be a leak in the unit, but the plastic is probably not...
