    My custom crafted metal and wood tables and shelves

    My suggestion for attaching the wood would be to make your guides underneath wide enough to get a screw into the wood. Doesn't have to be anything big, but a screw will keep the prices from falling out when the table is moved. One screw in each end of each board is enough.

    Half decent 4-1/2 inch angle grinder under $100

    Is it worth insulating my garage? If so what steps?

    Since there is snow on the ground I would definitely insulate. I put R-13 all the way around my garage walls, then drywall. Put a ceiling up in the garage and then blow in insulation over top of that. Huge differences. I did all this and it was enough to keep enough heat in my garage to melt...

    I picked up a 3.5" Prentiss for $40 over the weekend. It's been repainted, a few small hammer marks but everything else looks and functions as new. Going to look for a bigger Reed too. Probably a 104
