    I bought 6 steel it spray bombs and painted a steel front axle for my kids race car. I am disappointed with how this paint is holding up. I scuffed the round tubing first and cleaned it off. Chips and no better chemical resistance .

    30x40x12 Great Value shop.

    The cost of wood is thru the roof! My buddy told me 2x4x8 is over $8 in NJ now. The average home costs 14k more now due to lumber costs.

    Grizzly Tools: Yay or Nay?

    Went to one of their annual tent sales in PA back in 2002 or 2003 and picked up a belt sander for a friend who builds 75-150 race car frames a year. The belt sander is used constantly to deburr notched round tubing. The sander is still going strong!
