Thanks for the replies. I live in Spokane WA (home of the ZAGS) and we get a lot of cold winter weather with snow and slush. I have somewhat the same scenario but I will have 2 cars in the garage and the 3rd oversize bay will be my woodworking shop. Since everything is either along the wall...

I'm a bit concerned that moisture could get under the tiles and resulting in mold? I see you are in Ohio and probably have as much snow as we do. Have you had any issues with that or is the garage more for show?

I have a 3.5 car garage in Spokane Wa that shares 3 cars plus my Woodshop. All my larger woodworking machines are on rollers so everything can be put away. One wall has cabinets/workbenches but the rest is open. The machines are all hooked to vacuums but there still is some sawdust. In the...

Live in the eastern Washington state and we run two cars with 4 studs. Anything stand up to this. My floor is 32 years old. Would like to paint it.

Propane in our area is pushing $4.00 so I'll be doing a close cosr comparison to see what is most economical. Seems like Propane cost is rising pretty fast.

Paid $3.79 in eastern Washington state just last week. This is just for a fireplace we have in our house and I've been looking at the Reververae propane unit for my garage/shop. After reading this thread and checking the cost of propane I've crossed it off my list and will head to a electric...

I understand there may be some radiant electric overhead units that end up costing less than using propane. I was reading a thread here where he broke down the costs of nay gas vs electricity vs propane.

I see riggsjr has a thread just about like this only his garage is a bit smaller than mine but guys are recommending the Fahrenheat FUH54 5000W unit. I do have 220 in my garage. Would this be a better unit for heating my shop area? The shop area is really just work benches along the front of...

Have a 38x30 garage well insulated in the walls and ceiling (6" studs) & 2x12 ceiling studs and it's finished on the walls with plywood walls covered with FRP panels. The ceiling is insulated and drywalled. I live in Eastern Washington and it gets cold and I want to utilize the shop I've...

The Intimitator. The saw function actually can accomodate a 4'8' sheet of plywood because the table has an additional table that spreads out to hold the other end of the board. You can get two more additional "tables" that run on the rails that would act as a complete 4' width or I guess maybe...

For $1500 could you replace all the functions with seperate equipment and end up with ta better system?

Trying to justify buying a used Shopsmith that's literally in new condition 1995 vintage vs just getting a Bosh 4000 and start building up my equipment with air gun, grinder, etc. with the money difference. The guy wants $1500 for the 95 and according to him it's only been used once or twice...

I understand the Bosch 4000-09 is highly though of too. Since it's been decades since I bought a table saw and I'm really going to use it for limited applications is this too much saw and would I be better off using the savings and purchasing other tools? Have lots of mechanical tools but few...

Wow, good timing. I was seriously thinking of buying this saw. I'm a total newbie to wood working and most of the stuff I'll do is just home improvement type stuff and thought this would be a good choice. I have an old worm drive Skill Saw that's hardly been used but would like to be able to...

Check out SwissTrax. It's a bit stouter tile than all the rest and I've got samples of most of the others and you can readily see the difference. More expensive than the rest but looks like it will do the job. Has a 5,120 psi compression strength, 12 year warranty and about 14 colors.
