Put a piece of Masonite on the floor and the box on top of it.

Nice work on the hood repair. That will last a loooong time!

Years ago I bought some thread restorer from locktite. It was a two part mix, some granular stuff mixed with the epoxy. So I mixed it up, and stuffed in them buggered up hole. Put the screws in lightly torqued. Had quite a bit left over, it never hardened, wtf. A few weeks later I happened to...

I had a similar problem with my autobody dollys rusting. I have them polished up pretty well. I ended up putting them in an airtight plastic container. Lightly oiled and throw in a few camphor tablets. You could throw in some desiccant bags and oxygen absorbers and i bet rust would never be an...

I had one similar to this version. It was green. They stopped selling it locally here. I have thought of making one up from sheet metal I liked it so much...

^ this is what I was going to suggest!

Thanks Gregor, I know you’ll get where you want to be.

Roll some masking tape tape around the drill, enough to act as a stop so you don’t punch through

Coincidentally I was on YT last night and this popped up

I had a problem with my roll up door having a big long gap due to the driveway pour. I made a filler from pressure treated lumber ( 1/2 thick) that I attached to the door bottom. I traced it out against the driveway and cut to fit. Then I put some stick on weatherstriiping foam tape on the...

This one was my fathers, it needed a few repairs before it was operational.

Yep they have teeth like that, they are for sheetmetal panelbeating work, but I use them only on metal, not on or bondo or bog as it’s called here. The files have countersunk holes at each end that I use drywall screws on.
