    Painting MDF Doors

    I built some medium density fiberboard (mdf) cabinet doors in my garage and primed them with a shellac based (BIN) primer. I then sanded them with 220 grit and used a small foam (smooth surface) roller to put on a coat of water based paint. The finished surface appears as if it has roller marks...

    Hand Sander - Recommendation

    My wife asked me to purchase a hand sander to be used to refinish a wooden bench that is outside our house. Also, the sander will be used to help refinish the cabinet doors in our laundry room (prior to painting). She asked if I could possibly find one that collects the "dust" in a bag - to...

    Foot Controlled Latch for Storage Cabinet

    I was thinking of building a storage cabinet with a foot controlled latch installed on the base to hold each of the side doors in place. The idea is that the cabinet doors would fully open only when the latch is released. I have looked and been unable to find that type of latch anywhere...

    Low Voltage Lighting Problem

    Guys, Thanks for the replys. As it turns out, the low voltage wire that was connected to the transformer was a short piece (about 2 ft long). The short piece of wire was connected to a longer piece of wire with 2 wire nuts. I tightened up the connections at the wire nuts and the lights came on...

    My apologies if this subject appears to be off topic, but there is a tie in to the garage :) The 300W low voltage power pack (transformer) for one of my outdoor lighting runs is located on the wall in my garage.

    Drywall primer for new drywall

    Funny you asked about this. I just purchased some Glidden PVA Drywall Primer and Sealer at Home Depot. There was a recent price reduction and the price is now about $8.50 a gallon - and even less if you buy a 5 gallon tub. It is recommended for new drywall. Mordi
