Hey everyone. Is it acceptable to sand a floor with a DA and skip the etching? This would be prepping for a garage floor paint or coating of some kind. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

I’m hoping to fix up my floor sometime in the next few months. I’ve been reading a bunch here and on Pinterest, so I know there is a lot out there to choose from. Here are my issues; I love the look of tiles like Racedeck and their simplicity, but I’m hoping to get back to my welding projects...

This is what I've got on the heater. And the garage outlets are all on 15amp breakers. I'm not sure what brand the breaker is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nothing else is running. I'll will have to check on the rest. I guess I should have done that first. [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a space heater for a small garage. The problem I am having is that after about 15 minutes or so, it kicks off my breaker. With nothing else on the circuit, it has done it on two different circuits. Any idea why? The heater is pretty new and seems to be in good shape. It's like this...

That's poppy. My daughters best friend and she keeps the garage mouse free. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Still a little disorganized, but I'm making progress. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That ceiling is awesome! What is it made of? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks again everyone for the info. One last question, maybe. Should I gusset above or below the shelf? Which is stronger assuming I use flat bar of the same thickness? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I didn't thing about back grinding it. That should make it pretty easy. I need to double check thickness. It's just some stuff I have lying around. I figured I should use it and not spend the money on a lowes shelf. It's been a while since I've used the welder and it was for bodywork...

I should be able to re-orient it. My main concern is trying to put a bead down on the 90 degree outside edge. I'm worried about the metal burning back from the sharp edge. I'm hoping to give it a try tonight, if time permits. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you, Bob! I was also wondering about the weld pattern. I appreciate the instruction. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It won't be vibrating. It's just for storage. It's a bostich pancake compressor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's a frame for a shelf to hold a small compressor. Welder is the Lincoln 140 with the MIG kit. I don't have a lot of material to experiment with, but I guess I can always grind and try again. Thanks for the info everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm welding two 45* pieces of angle iron together to make a 90*. Should I just weld the inside seam with a lot of penetration or should I weld the outside edge as well? Seems like welding the outside vertical edge will be tricky. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
