I think it's too much of a make work project. It's like buying a van and converting it to a truck. Also, when it Comes to a flammable a cabinet, why mess around with a crummy thin steel box with who knows what for insulation? As I get grumpier in life, I've become less motivated to screw...

As a kid I spent a lot of time at my dad's train track anvil. I would take my Tonka trucks and flatten the sheet metal out until it looked like someone grabbed it out of the blanking press at the Tonka factory.

Wouldn't that fill also stop the boards from bowing out? You're pouring a slab, not an 8' wall. There's not a lot of hydraulic pressure. Your'e acting like the concrete is going to spray out from under your 8" boards. It doesn't take much to stop concrete from leaking out from what is basically...

According to your drawing you have 4" of board exposed outside. Put in stakes a foot from the building, use 2x's nailed to the side of the stakes and butted up to the board. They don't need to be attached, you're worried about the board bowing out, not in. It seems like either were all...

Re: Security camera wiring advise needed Run cat-5e. If you go with IP cameras, they will use ethernet, and be powered via PoE. If you decided to go with analog cameras, you can use a balun to put the video on one pair, and then gang the remaining 3 pairs for power. For a security camera, cat-6...

As the kids say these days... Wat?

To summarize: drill it mid-span, but don't drill it mid-span.

Sounds portable, and completely comparable to a small portable air compressor.

I used to worry about this kind of stuff, then I bought a house with sections built in the 40's, 70's and 90's. Now I follow the "beat it to fit, paint it to match" mantra of home improvement.

My saw is a fairly beefy old Craftsman saw from the 70's. Nice cast iron top, 1 HP induction motor, and adjusted to run true. It ain't no sliding table beast of european origins, but it gets the job done. My tools aren't to blame here, I am. I think I let the material drift during the cut...

I temporarily stalled on this project -- I'm really not happy with the crooked dados on the dividers, and it's quite noticeable from the front of the cabinet. So those are going on the scrap pile, and I'm going to assemble a jig to use my router to cut the dados on the new ones. Before I could...

When I was OP's age, I used to think this was true, and I knew a number of people that proved this to be true. But it's not true for everyone. When I was OP's age, I started a job doing the thing I always wanted to do. Soon, I hated it. I dreaded going to work, and what used to be my hobby...

Searching for tape measures.

For the people that are telling us a leaky N2 tank in our garage will kill us all dead, PLEASE read the post from James_B. Or just keep plugging your ears and yelling LA LA LA. Both are equally entertaining.

Serious? Hell no, I'm just feeding the fire! :evil:

I heard that driving a car is dangerous too.

It's made out of plywood, not cast iron! If you find a 11" x 15" drawer full of bolts unmanageable, maybe a little more time at the gym is in order :D I don't like when dividers creep up, and everything under them mixes. The next iteration of drawer design will actually have a sort of cap over...

How about lowering the ground where you want to park the trailer?

Marshall, The dados in the carcass were cut with a router. I made a T square out of plywood and routed the dado into the T so that I could use it for alignment. I line up the square and clamp it down, and go to town. There's a bunch of raggedness that I have to clean up with a razor blade...
