If I remove the lid from a HF 44" top box will the drawers still be able to be locked? Asking here's easier than a trip to the store to look at them. TIA

Think I'd like to get a 44" top box to put in my race car trailer. Do they ever go on sale? What's the good price? I'm under the impression you can't ever use 20% off coupons on toolboxes any more.

Bought a Rockwell lathe from a school auction a few years ago. They flipped it moving it. I had the pieces made to fix it but it's been stuck in storage while I built my new shop. Working on it a bit this weekend. Anyone besides me think this is a terrible place for the switch? I'm...

Need to trim up a Menards butcher block top for a work bench I'm building. What circular saw blade would work the best?

I've had this rolling around in my head for a while. Was having a hard time visualizing all of it then the other day accidentally ran over a roll of painter's tape with my forklift so it wasn't good for anything else. It's 6' × 12'. The width is pretty much set in stone as I ordered a 70"...

What do I need to know about soil stabilization fabric? I'm working on a big driveway area by an old storage building. I need to end up with a driveway that will support my pneumatic-tired forklift. Not sure what the machine weighs, it has a 6000lb. capacity so it's heavy. For starters I'm...

Trying to get my race trailer set up asap. I'm thinking about using LEDs for interior lights rather than 110 so we don't have to listen to the generator all night. Couple questions, assume I'm ignorant about LEDs because I am. Would it be a terrible idea to power them from the truck battery...

So got me a new compressor: 6'+ tall, 900lbs, 26cfm@175psi of wholesome goodness: It's an Eaton. Don't remember anyone really talking about them on here. Built to order, domestic components, 5 year bumper to bumper warranty. Reasonably priced for what they are. The people who I've...

When I bought my car wash in 2007 the floor heat system was running very diluted anti freeze. I've left it this way but getting ready for this winter I'm thinking one thing I want to do for sure is flush the system. The anti freeze is getting a little nasty. Been wondering about filling...

Wasn't there a thread of bathrooms? Trying to decide how I want to finish mine. Don't want steel or drywall unless I do some form of wainscoting Something cleanable. Anyone have pics?

I own a company that sells automotive hardware. Putting some new drawers in for one of our customers. The bases you can buy are too low and kind of flimsy so this is what we do; The legs have prong nuts and elevator bolts for adjusters. Floors are rarely as level as they seem. This one...

Quick question; In my new 36' x 48' shop area, white 14' steel ceiling and walls, we're thinking 8 of the 6-bulb T8 light fixtures. My electrician says the fixture supplier says that will be about 60 ft candles. That sound about right as far as lighting level for a shop?

Is there a site where I can compare multiple brands of air compressors? Looking for a 7.5hp 220v 3-phase, 80-120 gal upright. Have looked at IR and Quincy. What other brands should I consider?

This has been a really drawn out process so I've been reluctant to start a thread. Things are starting to pick up so... I've had a 30' x 60' pole building with no insulation or plumbing. Adding on 36' x 48'. This will house my business and be my shop. Two offices and a bathroom in the west...

I need a good exterior walk door for my office. A nine light glass with an arched top(glass not door). It has to have an extended jam, 7 9/16". Steel clad both sides and jam. Anyone have a brand they really like?

Messing around tonight drawing Pex layout for my floor; 36' x 48', 1728 sq. ft., one zone Looks like you could do it with either 6, 7, or 8 loops. My take is that eight shorter loops will heat more evenly. Is that correct or even matter? What's the percentage the loops can vary in length...

Got my geothermal quote for my shop addition, can't afford it. End of story. Back to DIY floor heat; Went to Menards and looked at their pre-made panels and boilers. If you're in a hurry, like I am, doesn't look like a bad route assuming the components aren't junk. I'm leery of all Menards...

I'm doing a 36x48x14 addition on my existing 30x 63 x 10'6". The addition will have floor heat. The existing building has a nice floor already so it will be forced air. Both parts heated and A/C'd. Was planning on just traditional gas boiler for addition and furnace for existing. I got into...

Anyone have any rules of thumb for floor drain placement? I'm doing a 48' x 36' addition to my shop with an 18' overhead door. Tonight I stepped off where I thought the floor drain should be and made a mark in the fill lime. Pulled my car in like I think I would normally and yep stepped out...

I've looked at the website and here, didn't see exactly what I'm wondering; Planning a shop/business building remodel this summer. I'll have an area for that's only used for inventory. It may occassionally get a forklift in it. So I put down Racedeck wall to wall then set my shelving on top...
