Regulator will be wall mounted when I sheetrock. Possibly all air hose connections,too.

Fully air sealed and fire caulked. Fiberglass is brown and not dirty. It's brand new. Sheetrock coming soon. I have 2 batt chargers always charging. Total of four batteries available.

I have previously posted pics and details about my ongoing shop/garage build - stage 1 was the building itself, stage 2 was a lengthy DIY on how I did my epoxy flooring, stage 3 covered the 2-post lift selection and installation, and now I have almost finished stage 4, so I figured I'd post it...

I've been looking there quite a bit. Judging by our local CL listings, most of what's going out of business is restaurants. There is tons of restaurant equipment it seems. Hey, cool, James. That's great news - I don't mind having to paint them as long as the quality and price is good, and...

Good info, Rick. I might try that also.

I'm sure I could do it with a decent set of plans. Haven't done much of that type of work before, I'm more of an auto, electrical and plumbing guy so far. I have other walls, but plan to leave those mostly open because space can be tight with the lift.

Admittedly I've never been to one. I'll ask a local friend there to look for me and report back with input.

The ones I dislike are particle board covered with a thin sheet of laminate. They typically don't hold a lot of weight, come with cheap hardware, and don't look fantastic. They're functional for light use, but that's about all.

John, do they make sturdy cabs that aren't laminated? I have laminated in my other garage and they don't hold up well even to occasional use.

Excellent idea! I was trying to think of how to contact companies that have used office furniture but this is a great one.

GREAT info, thanks. I wish we had IKEA here, but we don't :( The MDF plus sheet metal is also a solution I will investigate for sure.

That sounds very reasonable. I'll keep you posted for sure. I hope kitchen cabs are good enough for storage - they should be, if well built. If I don't like the finish I can refinish or paint them to my liking.

Will check it out!

It sounds like my best compromise will be used kitchen cabinets from Habitat and a tough top surface that I'll have to figure out.

Those are unbelievable but probably out of my price range. I would say at most, I would want to spend maybe $2-3K tops including the bench top and cabinets, and all hardware I need to get them in.

Good input. I also plan to visit the Habitat "ReStore" where people drop off old cabinets from kitchens. You can get a full set for under $1K, then I could just do the countertop and build the sink in myself.

I have about a 19' long wall which I want base cabinets for, including the sink I mentioned, but there is a window on part of that, so the upper cabinets are probably only about 13-14' long. I want something sturdy and with lots of tough work surface for harsh jobs like welding and grinding and...

So I'm now trying to figure out what to do about cabinets. I've got about 18 feet of wall along which is a double-wide plastic sink and also some windows. Here's what the sink and windows look like at the far end: My goal is to have one long, flat surface on which I can store tools or work...

I have no deal to post but wanted to say thanks to everyone who continues to post here. :)
