I have a Ryobi laminate trimmer that works just fine. A lot of their tools are questionable quality, but to start out with, you should be OK. I didn't see a HP rating on the router - I wouldn't go less than a 1 1/2 HP unit. Let the machine do the work - don't try to feed too fast, that's how...

How does this floor react to welding above it / getting hot sparks on it?

I don't use snipers - IMO that takes the fun out of it. I've always viewed eBay as a good source of entertainment. If you want the price to remain reasonable, never bid early. I win nearly every auction I've participated in by making sure I put the max I'm willing to spend in a bid within...

Where's the pics? Good point on the woodworking aspect. I also do woodworking and never thought of the sawdust issue until reading your post. Thanks!

Welcome from the West side.

Be honest, the garage was the only factor in your decision on the property wasn't it? (would have been for me!) I'd kill for space like that...

Great build! I am exploring this lift for my garage rebirth also. I will be interested to watch this prep and install. Due to the multiuse nature of my garage/shop, I wanted to sink the mounting area of this lift down another few inches (thickness of the arms), so I could put a plate over...

X 2 - I was introduced to them when I used to install car stereos and alarms as a youngster... They are invaluable in certain conditions.

This is a good topic. I have a detached two car (2 story) that has become my wife's staging area for everything she doesn't want to lug to the house. I've been in this house for nearly 13 years and can remember a car parked in the garage 3 times. Since it is only 20 x 20 with narrow doors...

I have a old Jackson Auto Dark and a NexGen. The build quality of the NexGen is definitely better than the old Jackson Auto Dark one I have. Mainly the headgear is much nicer - I wouldn't call the old one ****, but I haven't used a wide variety of hoods, so maybe I just don't know any better.

Having an extra grinder to be flap b***h is key. I have a nice light Makita that I use (great for one handed use). I bought one of the Ridgid rebranded Metabos, but that thing is a tank. Gonna have to try a HF one of these days...

I've never seen this before - cool stuff! But if it's $10 a foot, looks like I'll be breaking out my shovel...

Most likely, yes. Can you ask the builder?

Welcome from Pittsburgh!!

I don't have anything innovative, but it's effective for my small space. Labeled nut/bolt/screw storage (before I finished) - click for bigger version: Totes for odd-ball stuff (paint cans, chemicals, etc.) and office file drawers for small parts (called "check files" for when paper checks...

I've been really pleased with the IR3102. It is small and maneuverable and seems to be pretty efficient with the air. Here's a review and some pics: http://toolandfab.com/forum/showthread.php?t=175

I have an older version of the 425 and it has served me well. I need new boards on it (caught on fire from welding on it), but other than that, it has been a tank.

Well welcome from Pittsburgh!! Sounds like a heck of a stable you have on your hands there!!

So if Sh##hole is taken, can I use Sh##box? Mine resembles the above description unfortunately...
