thanks ron, i havent checked it wet, but the surface dry is non-skid i would say. im not worried about slipping or anything, its got a bit of grip to it. Thank you!!!

thanks, its a hobby / business.

exposed concrete is ok, but i like to keep things tidy and clean at my shop. in the past i used some commercial grade typical looking gray epoxy (see pic below), while it looks great it eventually cracks and starts to look crappy. i use a lot of floor jacks and jack stands and im not always...

well its been a while since i post here, but i have been keeping tabs and saving lots of ideas from all the other posts. ill hopefully apply some of them, if funds allow to my new shop space. i build kustom cars and work on old 50's trucks for a living. gone thru 2 other shop spaces so this is...

hey there fellas, so i am renting my very first warehouse in hopes that it is the next step towards opening a shop one day. the space is 1600-1700 SF. it is fully air conditioned which in South Florida its great! it has 2 small offices at the front and a half bath. i decided to make the back...

got the Optrel Satellite. Love it!

sorry to bring this post back up, but i want to place my order on my new helmet perhaps tomorrow. i am looking into the Optrel Helmets. i like the grinding feature cause i find myself welding / grinding a lot. so i guess the Optrel Satellite is the best out right now. looked into pricing and...

well i was strolling around Harbor Freight, yeah i know quality? well they had this deal on a tool box thats 20+ inches and comes with 3 more boxes inside, so thats 4 boxes for $30! couldnt resist. sure they are plastic but for what i will use the boxes it should last a long time. i chose the...

Great! thanks for those pics D Krager. i found a Northern Tool box that looks promising. ill keep shopping around, but something like what you've posted looks like will work for what i need. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200145024_200145024

yeah, i actually took them only the piston and cylinder, half the work is done. i had no way to get the compressor over there. so as soon as the part gets here i will install it and let you guys know. a $40 fix or a $300 new compressor, seems like the right move to me too. thanks again.

did a search and didn't quite find what i was looking for, ive even tried google. my craftsman professional series (yellow and black) 2-1/2 ton floor jack has stopped working properly. it was a quick pumping jack, the kind that in 2 pumps goes from bottom to top (with no weight on it). it...

thanks, funny cause the first thing i do with anything is Google it. thats how i found a cheaper price. i searched the part number on the box... WL211000SJ then i searched the part number on the CH website. it shows up as a repair kit. so it has to be the same thing, it comes in a box with...
