You're right, conflicting interests. Thank you! Up next is a refinish and a workbench cabinet topper hopefully.

Storage. Thanks to this forum I've become a bit of a storage nerd, and half my time searching classifieds now is looking for metal cabinetry that I may or may not need. I started out with this. My trusty craftsman and a couple of benches I saved from the scrap pile. I ended up finding this...

Outside lights. Not code to the letter but more than safe, I made some outside lights to my liking. I wanted a true high output barn style light. I always find myself working in the dark outside painting etc. I started with three high bay UFO lights. These are IP67 rated and labeled, so I felt...

Walls, etc. I feel like I looked at bare studs for years. Probably did honestly. But finally a couple of years ago I decided on LP smart side to close it in. I backed with 2x4s for future cabinets, though I'm not sure if I'll ever put any up there. Starting at 2 rows high, planning (one day...

Only half of the shop is lighted so far unfortunately. For better of worse I didn't want to have to install lights twice on the one side planning on the upstairs. I ended up going with square frame high bays hung at 16' and they do a great job. 6 of them light the "working" side of the shop...

Hi all, long time lurker here. Idk why, (laziness) but I have never posted up much about my shop. I'll say up front that I've gotten a TON of inspiration from you guys, builds both new and old, and I'd like to express my gratitude, maybe one day I can inspire someone in a similar way. 5-6 years...

OP, not a tool calendar but I follow this garage in Belgium on Instagram and they do a nice calendar every year. Profits go towards the make-a-wish foundation. https://www.degaraasj-webshop.be/Calendar-TwentyTwentyTwo-p407693087

Hi all, I'm hoping to get some advice on a hair brained idea I have. I'm thinking of buying 3 ufo style high bay lights for above my shop doors. The main purpose is for outside working light, these will not be on all the time. These will be hung about 3 foot from the face of the building above...

Thanks for the information guys. I'll get some ideas/quotes worked up and go from there. I'll make sure to post what I end up doing. Thanks again.

If I went through with radiant I'd shoot for a lower air temp like you mentioned. I've been in a few buildings with it and you're right, I really sweat when it's too warm. The large airspace in my shop was one of the reasons I installed the pipe and was considering radiant. I feel like there's a...

The walls of the slab are insulated with 2"? foam board around the perimeter. The base itself is insulated up to 4' from the outside of the shop in, I was told at the time that this was all that was required in my area (I'm a novice at this keep in mind). Also, the ground here does not freeze...

First time poster here, though I've been lurking here for a while. I have an insulated 30x50 steel building with 20' ceilings in northern/central NC. The plan is to have a loft over half of it but for the forseeable future it's all open. Winters are mild, but we get a couple of 6" snow falls...
