    Garage shelves brackets

    End grain glue joints are notoriously weak, so the brads are doing all the work How much damage will one cause when it fails? Personally I'd not trust that.

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    Anyone here have the M12 5 3/8 circ saw? Thinking about grabbing one to break down sheet goods and 2x material at the big box store. My other option is to go with the 18V Ridgid Octane version. I rarely use my corded circ saw these days now that I have a track saw, but alas it too is corded.

    Building shop cabinets

    Clearly I'm a troglodyte....I had to look up the word "plinth." But yeah I agree build the base out of dimensional then mount the boxes on top would be the way I'd go. Cheaper than leveling feet too.

    What tools do I need to build a dresser?

    I'm going out on a limb here, and I could be way off base, but it doesn't sound like you have the skills to tackle this project quite yet. Buy the dresser and start with smaller projects to get your skills honed in. A jobsite saw is NOT where you want to start with this if at all possible. I...

    Subpanel the same brand/line as existing main?

    That's essentially what I'm looking to do. Trying to figure out how many circuits I need and size the panel appropriately. I picked up a 100A breaker for it but now realize I could have gotten a 60A and probably would have been fine. Oh well. Running that cable through the studs isn't going...

    Anyone have the Greg Smith tiles?

    Yeah I'm assuming it's Hecho in China. I called to see if they sold samples, they don't, and shipping a single tile brings it to $20. Right now big floors has GarageDeck Coin Top for $1.99ea and that's made in the USA. That's probably the better way to go. I'm not ready to tackle this...

    Anyone have the Greg Smith tiles?

    Anyone on here have the Greg Smith interlocking tiles in their garage? Thinking about going that route with my garage. If this was my "forever" home I'd probably go all out on swisstrax, racedeck, or one of the other better known brands. I'm only planning on being in this place for maybe 4...

    Subpanel the same brand/line as existing main?

    Getting ready to order supplies/parts for my sub panel install for my garage. Would you get the exact same manufacture/line as your main service panel or would you switch it up? Existing panel is an Eaton CH. The sub panel will be strictly for the circuits in the garage and will be flush...

    Garage storage cabinets

    Free is ALWAYS good. What sort of place did you get these from? I need to put out feelers for "free disposal" of old kitchen cabinets. Will save me a ton of time and money if I don't have to build the garage cabinets myself.

    Best primer and paint for new drywall in garage

    Whatever you decide on, satin or semi-gloss finish will hold up better than eggshell or flat. I'm planning on painting my garage walls with some variant of white
