I tried to document this project but all the assembly pictures were lost, so i'll just show a few of the finished project. Just a few notes about the cabinet, the frame is made from a 2 x 6 milled to one inch thick. The panels are oak plywood with aluminum diamond plate on the outside. The...

I did what several people have done using the 44" boxes. I too wanted a "knee hole" but the space I had did not allow for this. I did attach the two boxes together and removed the two fixed wheels and added one set of swivle wheels to the center so that I can roll the complete unit to clean up...

I put mine on the inside and if you are going to do the same here are a few thoughts. You can use under the stairs for storage and if you leave one end open you can add a hoist to get stuff up there. There are a few pics in my build Randall

Just had to post my 2 cents worth on this subject. I am a machinist and have been for about 40 years so the guys saying that you can drill at a high speed are mostly right. Meaning that there are always exceptions. Most people would be amazed at the speeds that the charts and formulas allow...

I had a similar situation with one person saying that if I did the room above then I didn't need to do the ceiling below that. However in GA it is more of keeping a little cooler than staying warm but the principle is the same. I did insulate both the upstairs and the ceiling and am more then...

I think the list is a great idea as well, and not so much on the contest. But I like many have caught a "new" build on here only to see that is was pretty old. Randall

Thought I would post a few more pictures while the shop was in its clean phase. It is a rare occurrence and does not last long at all. This shows one side of the machine shop. This is the other side which has the small things grinder belt sander and drill press This is the workbench I made...

I know a few of the hardliners will think that I don't do any work in my garage by looking at the following pictures. Even my best buddy has his doubts about the use of this much space, but what the hell it is my shop and this is what I wanted. Not sure it is correct to say this but I think I...

Have been spending the last few weeks getting the office into shape. I not only had the same sheetrock finish/paint issues in here but also decided that the way to finish the two rows of block was to sheetrock it. I screwed the rock to the sill and using tapcons and large 6x6 wooden washers I...

Im not far from there and I work closer. What you need? Randall

Normally I don't do this as it get the question muddled up and that is not the purpose and there are dozens of ways to get the same result but... Yes you ream a hole with a reamer but a dowel pin in not a press fit with the hole. A good fit would be when the dowel can be gently tapped into the...

Get the .250 dowel and use it. Most likely it will fit fine even drilling it by hand. And yes they do make a .001 oversized dowel pin, it is not the tolerance of the pin. A dowel reamer will always be oversize to allow the pin to fit as you will never get a .250 pin in a .250 hole under...

Not sure if it will increase the value of the property but here the taxable value will. I am currently contesting my taxes because the rate that was explained to me was approximately $10 per sq ft. When I got my tax bill it was valued at $25 per ft. After calling I got the explanation that I...

Really didn't know that there was any other way than this. My shop has been an ongoing project for 3 years now. The only thing I can offer is work to predetermined endpoints. Meaning get it dried in, pour the floor, or put in the exterior doors and such. Don't let any of your hard and money...

I just got an order from this guy and all went really well, no problems at all and the boxes were what I expected and fast shipping. Randall

Short answer NO it will nor work at all. You are correct in that the saw runs way too fast for that blade. A cold saw runs at a few hundred RPMs. Randall

So I don't walk on the glue that's fine. So I am guessing I put the glue down wait the required time and then start laying the tile working back to where I started laying the glue down? Meaning I will be working on the newly laid tile as I go. Is this correct? Thanks Randall

I may be jumping the gun a bit but in early spring I am going to put down my tile. However there one question that has my intrest at this time. From here I see that when installing this tile you can work in a doable area say 12' x 12' or so. And I have read that you wait on the glue to set...

Thanks everyone it is nice to start to see it come together but still lots to do:headscrat Evildky that picture was taken before the air comp was put in. I have now put a large vent in the door and it has both a ridge and soffit vent. I used it last summer with this set up and although it got...
