Made this out of old bowling alley lane. Got some ideas from this site. Works very good in my shop.

Here is a closeup. The gray is just 1 qt. black added to the cheap white paint.

Screwed OSB on. Sprayed one coat of KILZ oil base. One coat of cheap clearance 5 dollar a gal. paint.

After some research looks like the best option might be to have the power company disconnect the power from the pulled meter base on the garage, install a 90 amp. breaker in the house and run #2 al to the panel in the garage. What am I missing?

My brother in law bought a property with a house and a large detached garage. The house and the garage each had a separate feed from the power co. transformer pole to a meter and tnen to a 200 amp cutler hammer box. The meter on the garage is pulled. If he just has the power co. put the meter...

Just painted the OSB walls in my shop. One coat of oil base primer. Bought a bunch of white latex semi-gloss on clearance for 5 bucks a gallon. Put one coat on the top. Added one qt. black to a gal. White and painted the bottom.

I put up 20 of the four foot Metalux SNF232RC in a 36X20 shop on four switches. I ended up using 4100k bulbs and like how it turned out.

Some of the rollers are broke. Here is a picture on an unbroken one.

Anyone know where I can get replacement rollers for the drawers for this cabinet? Bought it at an auction and tying to get it fixed up to use in new shop. What do you think it's original use was?

Electronic ballast at 120 volts.

I am installing 20 four foot light fixtures on two circuits in a 36 X 20 shop with 11 foot 4 inch walls. I have done quit a bit of household wiring but have never used conduit before. I have metal ceilings in the new shop and will be using conduit. I know I will have to practice bending. My...

Heard good and bad things about OSB but wanted wood on the walls. 7/16 OSB was 1/2 the price of plywood. Primed with oil base paint and finished with cheap latex semi-gloss. I like how the walls turned out. Working on putting metal on the ceiling now.

I framed out flush to my poles with 2X4 lumber I salvaged from an old bowling alley. 11/2 inches of spray foam then 6 inch batts. OSB and paint.

I think I will look for some in the 5000K range. Thanks for the info.

Sorry I can't figure out how to post a link. The 8000k bulbs are listed in the weekly add for storage solutions. Pack of 12 for 39.99.

Would these be too bright? My shop is 36X20. I will have 4 rows of 4 ft bulbs parallel with the 36 ft length. Five 2 bulb lights in each row. Two rows 4 ft. off center of room on one switch and a row 2 ft off each wall over workbenches and on separate switches. Ceiling will be white metal. Walls...
