Just had 5000+ sq.ft. poured and finished between the driveway and shop. I decided that I would panel the ceiling and walls...

    Copper or Plastic for air system piping?

    I picked up a several hundred feet of NOS rigid 1" and 3/4" EMT, yes it is threaded so I have to deal with cuts and threading. I am only going to do this once and I think it will be a nice looking job when done, so the effort to me is worth it.

    Steel Siding Shop Interior

    I want to thank all of you that responded to my noise concern question. Maybe I started to think that with steel walls it would be noisier that I wanted. Your responses have made me feel better about my selection, so when I return I will run my electrical and cover it up with metal siding.

    Repurposing Ikea Furniture

    Jason; I think you should go for it. About 25 years ago I used up all of our old kitchen cabinets in my wood shop and garage. They may have been a little stronger than what you will be using but I did much heavier work than you will be doing.
