I agree, subgrade prep & the stone subbase material are the most important parts to having a driveway hold up. The blacktop itself hardly ever fails. Water is another problem that will ruin pavement so be sure the ground adjacent to the pavement is graded so water runs away from it. If you...

Sorry to hear that the new replacement casters you received still haven't allowed you to move the loaded lift any easier. If my garage wasn't packed right now, I'd set up the casters to show you how easily it rolls. I can however, get one of the wheels out to take a photo & post it so you can...

Beautiful job on the bench, it looks great. :thumbup: I'm in the planning stages of a new work area in my basement wood shop & will be borrowing some of your ideas for my bench. I was looking at some inexpensive base tool cabinets to use, but like the idea of framing up a work bench &...

Thanks, I'll have to read through that thread. :beer:

I saw these in Home Depot in the storage shelving section & thought they were reasonably priced & fairly strong. My basement is due to get a mild makeover for my wood shop & I was thinking about building a new work bench, some cabinets, & thought that buying something already done might be...

I have a wooden one by default & use it to store some old posters & prints that I don't want rolled up. I was going to give it away, but put casters under it & use the large surface on top as a secondary work surface. I also keep some nicer, furniture grade, wood in it so it doesn't get banged...

I agree, & the OP's casters look like they have flat tires. :confused: The floor in my garage is extremely smooth, almost like glass. That could make a huge difference, too. I forget offhand what year I bought mine, maybe late 2004? It could be that they've changed suppliers, or they decided...

I was curious, so I found this youtube video of someone moving a complete car on a Bendpak lift without much effort. The casters on this one are similar to the ones on mine. The video is not faked when it shows how easy the lift with a car on it moves, I know I can roll mine just as easily...

Yes, nail the channel to the wall & the fascia over the face after it's in. Not totally sure what you're asking about with "boxing the ends" but here's a sketch of what I've sometimes done at the end of the soffit at the building corner.

I spotted an ad in the local paper when I was building my garage for oak library ladders for $35 each. Without exaggeration, the guy selling them had SEVERAL HUNDRED of them from the telephone company. He said they were used to access equipment in various buildings, not books. I bought 2 & have...
