I am gonna revive this from the dead as I am curious too. Pouring a 2800sqft slab and NO way I can afford an epoxy in the barn. Review on HD are great......

Should be no problem. I cut all sorts of mesh backed mosaic type tiles on my wet saw. On smaller more intricate patterns you may notice it trys to fall into the blade gab in the table a bit. I keep the cardboard under the tile and cut it all together on those and it tends to support it well...

Looking good!

I helped a client of mine move for a couple hours and she gave me this old vise for free!! Spent a hour or 2 today, disassembled it, got it all cleaned up. Couple coats of Rustoleum and Whala! Not bad for a FREEBIE! :thumbup:

Thanks, pretty easy to make and I like how it is out of the way!

How about recreating the logo and wrapping the bottom drawer??.......

Just got one to replace an OLD crappy welder cart I had for my little baby Lincoln. Want to make this the "FAB" cart with all my grinders and Punches etc. Also going to add a shelf for the plasma soon. First mod was taking out the drawer lock mechanism as some have done. Then today I build...

Bill, you are awesome! Just had an engineer say it would be just fine to do the APA wall reinforcement with 16" per side with the other dimensions I have. Just need to work on the vacation of easement to see if I can get started.

Sorry for the delay guys. We had snow storm that delayed the call to dig order. I am waiting on the results of that before I employ the engineer to assure it is not all a wasted endeavor. I will update once I know more.

That would be PERFECT!!! (to be at 16" per side) I will check it out and read the article. Thanks!

So far the city has been very helpful in exploring options. I try to use my sunny disposition :beer: to keep things civil and on a positive note :lol: I definitely intend to talk to the engineer but just want to make sure I am exploring all options before plunking down some big bucks. This is...

Yeah that is with the foam pads on the posts. It is pretty much the width of ALL these new surf boat trailers. They might have a tiny bit of adjustment. Thanks for the heads up. :thumbup:

Oh also, the existing garage is only a 7 foot door, and I think 8 foot ceiling, so the roof height needs to be higher no matter what. I guess I would lop off the eave on that side and build the new one higher with an eve hanging over the existing roof then?

Yes possible. Was worried about the additional expense of moving the electrical service on that exterior wall, as well getting into the existing roof that was just replaced, and also I think it changes the footer requirements etc. I have not done all the figures yet, but sounds a LOT more...

The boat on the trailer is 107" to the posts, so just under 9' ......... A 10 foot door would be possible, but tight!!! Might work with the afore mentioned guides to be safe. What do you guys think about the guides bolted into the ground? I could even do tubing taller maybe 6-8" so it wouldn't...
