mind blown :tard:. I pitty you if you ever move to a different home (or, rather, the movers).

I haven't tried the bombs yet...I just try to keep up with them with the perimeter spray - but that's clearly not cutting it.

All Done! Once it was fully loaded up, I didn't have ANY extra room on the plywood ledge. I'm happy with the stability even with the sheets in a vertical orientation and I have no worries about it tipping over. I'm also starting to think that the bins are alright sized like they are. They...

I had my two gates (7' x 5'each) and 4"posts hot-dip galvanized. I was quoted about $160. However, after I drove the 40 minutes there and dropped them off, I was informed that there was a $250 minimum fee. I wasn't too thrilled about that - but they did a really nice job and they're holding...

I should have never said "never". Good thinking!

Drawing pack is updated. I had a dimension picked to a wrong point on the drawing that showed the shelf locations. I also added dimensions on the short width of the shelves (the edge has a 5 degree bevel). This dimension is helpful because it's the one you would use to setup a table saw to...

Boesheild T-9. It is designed for this purpose. I use it on my cast iron tool surfaces to keep them rust free and it works very well. If you put it on thick and let it dry it will leave a slightly tacky surface...spray on and wipe it off is all that is needed...

I think it should be OK. Taking an eyeball approach, with it heavily loaded the CG will be about 3.5' high should be inboard at least 10"...meaning, it would require a push of roughly 145 lbs horizontally at the CG height to push it over with two wheels jammed. That's estimated with 5 sheets...

Awesome - yeah, that's what I'm talking about with the rear vertical cubbies. Mine are deeper than needed. Those look about right. I had intended to store sheet goods horizontally on mine but make the cart four feet wide and let the sheets overhang each end by two feet. When I was drawing...

I got a little more completed on the cart last night. The shelves and angled sheet are made. The shelves pushed the angled sheet about 3/8" too far out for some reason (it's probably some of the bow in the sheets stacking up). I'll clamp them tight tonight, measure, and trim a bit off the...

How were the PVC rollers arranged? Across the bottom perpendicular to the sheets?

Aaaa, heck. These should fit just fine. You can download PDF files of the drawings of this cart at the following link. Disclaimer; I didn't spend much time detailing or refining these drawings. You will still need to use your head a little...feel free to let me know if you have any...

This one requires 3 sheets of 19/32" sheathing, 1 - 8' 2x6, 2 - 10' 2x4s, and 4 8' 2x2s. I'll also be sheeting the bottom with some luan to reduce the hiding cavities for spiders (damn things are taking over my shop). I'll have less than $75 in it not including casters. I'll be glad to share...

It's a shop rule! EVERYTHING on casters (except my future fixed cabinets). I had planned to put two fixed and two rotating casters on this but I didn't have any fixed casters...While that might make it a little tricky to move any great distance, it will make it easy to slide it into a small...

I work with the stuff - it won't be any different. There is nothing that will do what you want it to do...even a "one-way-mirror" has to have the blind side dark. Blinds are your best solution.

After starting a couple of smaller projects followed by declaring war on spiders in my shop, a pile of plywood leaning against a wall started getting on my nerves. I needed to clean behind it but the thought of moving it and putting it back was painful. I decided to build a wood storage cart...

Try a Flickr account....tons of bandwidth.

As a sign maker speaking to someone looking to save a buck, use cedar. You can buy a piece of cedar siding at most home improvement stores. When someone demanded a natural wood sign from me in the past, this is usually where I would start for a small sign. If you are going to coat it with...

It would be a pretty good lawyer trick to discredit those photos when the structure is clearly failing after a few weeks/months. I'm not sure about the RAW file type being much better. It has more image data since it doesn't have compression coming off the sensor like a JPG is - but it's still...

I guess it's probably time for an update! My second work (the graphics shop) has been going gangbusters and spare time has been a little hard to come by. What spare time I do have has been spent repairing a major structural issue on one of my racing sailboats. This boat usually stays in the...
