    Electric floor scrubber for acid etching?

    I'm not going to scrub 1200 sq. ft. of concrete with a plastic brush on a broom handle. So, I was thinking it would be a good idea to rent a 14" scrubber for the weekend and make it easy. This is the type of machine I'm looking at: I'll use the long-handled brush for the corners. Would...

    Legacy Industrial floor colors- who has "Blue"?

    My wife is having a hard time picturing my shop floor being "Blue", saying it will be too bright, and is suggesting I go with another color such as "Light Blue". She's probably thinking it'll be as blue as my new mower. I actually would love a floor that color! I know that she can't picture...

I have 33 essentially perfect sheets of 3/4" MDF that I could...

    Metal building (Mueller): Assembly tolerances

    After dealing with sketchy and deadbeat concrete contractors for 3 months, I'm (finally!) putting my shop together. I generally hold VERY tight tolerances when building or making things, especially when following engineered instructions. But, this building is kicking my **** in that aspect...

    Southerners with A/C in metal building

    Noob here from Louisiana. I've browsed this site before while dreaming and trying to get ideas for what I'd like in a shop. Now, I finally have a good reason to join the forum. I'm in the preliminary stages of putting up a 30x40x12 steel building (Mueller) to be used as a garage/metal...
