Nick. Thanks for bring the car by the hangar this afternoon. It looks fantastic!! It is clear to me that you and your Dad put a lot of effort into the car and it shows. Well done!

Crazy and overboard is just about right. Looks great!

I’m building an apartment on a slab. The water line coming out of the slab is CPVC. I started to plumb with CPVC but I hate the stuff as I’m used to copper. Anyhow, I’m looking at a pile of Uponor PEX tubing and fittings that will replace the CPVC after the main water shut off valve. My...

When I was in college, I worked for a sheet metal shop that did mostly restaurant kitchens. We installed a lot of stainless steel counter tops. They were “glued” to the base with silicone caulk. Works well, lasts a long time.

It seems I can’t stay away from this stuff...... Last fall, I was fortunate to be able to purchase a 60x60 building. When I made the deal, I couldn’t see the actual floor due to the amount of stuff the previous owner had. Needless to say, the concrete was in less than spectacular condition...

Scotty speaks the truth! I’m in the grinding phase now on another floor. I use a Dustless brand shop vac and a Dust Deputy on a 5 gallon bucket to capture most of the dust. Along with a shroud on my angle grinder, I find that there is next to no dust in the air. BTW, don’t mess around with...

Thanks y’all. It shall be done.

I’m in the process of buying a 60 x 60 building. One of the first things that will happen is to coat the floor. I’m planning on Nohr-s. While looking around today, I came up with two questions. 1. The prior owner put down some sort of floor coating. I’d estimate about 150 square feet in...

To answer the OP, I installed a 96" Big Air fan in my hangar a couple months ago. I'm honestly underwhelmed and I probably wouldn't do it again.

It’s been four years since I put this floor down in my garage and I thought I’d post an update. This is a car/pickup parking garage and not a “shop” but the floor is still like the day it was put down. Zero tire lifting. Truthfully, I don’t do much at all to maintain it. A couple times a...

Thanks for the compliments y'all. Lets see if I can answer some questions. The paint process. I sanded the wood to a 220 grit finish then rolled and brushed on a Sherwin William version of Kilz (Oil based) as a primer. I put two coats of this on, sanding between coats. Then I sprayed the...

Has it really been almost three and a half years since this thread was started. I knew I was slow..... SOJ, I don’t know whether to cuss you or hug you. When you posted your parts cabinet, I immediately knew I had to have something similar. What is it they say about imitation? Anyhow, I...

I bought this bandsaw about 5 years ago off Craigslist, when I lived in Florida. It worked but it was cosmetically rough and not that good at cutting either. It sat in my hangar and got used very occasionally. When it came time to move to Georgia, I dismantled it and crated it up for the...

That looks awesome! Nice job.

+1 on WiFi calling. Works great!
