    Kreg jig HD (for 2by material)

    I got it. Its pretty nice. Big screws, and very strong. No, I too have not really found anyone else selling the washer head screws. I don't use it that much, so it's not like I go through crazy amount of screws. Just buy the biggest pack and it will last you a few years.

    Oh before I forget. When you install the toe kick box, this is where you shim / level / and scribe it. That way, your top box is that much easier square up.

    Don't buy the jig. That **** is ********. Buy man tools instead. Drilling shelf pins is super easy. Take a sliding square, adjust depth of pin. Draw lines inside cabinet, basically the vertical lines where the pin corners would be. Then take a tape measure, a wood owl, or anything that will...

    Need help with our new pantry

    If you want a regular door walk in pantry, frame up a door and install a double one. Build custom wrap around shelves inside. I've don't this too. Won't match the cabinets exact. Your latest spec looks great. But you don't need 3/4 ply on back. 1/2 is more than enough to keep your box square...

    Need help with our new pantry

    the 3 sides you are talking about, 2 of which are sheetrock. One of which is not a wall, but a cabinet hanging on top of the fridge. Am I missing a wall somewhere? Big doors, will knock that face frame off in no time. Even if you do hit a stud to secure it to. Bottom will flap, top will flap...

    Need help with our new pantry

    Wait you want to build just the face frame? Not the rest of the cabinet? Why not buy some pre finished ply, and make a big box first. Then add the face frame as desired. It can probably be done. But you may want to at a 1"x 2" to the face frame, and screw through it into the wall. Attach the...

    Epoxy vs Tile flooring

    I think it should all be pretty uniform color of fresh concrete. Google how to build your own cyclone for the vac. That fine dust is a *****. I'm more of a tile guy. Just saying what I have seen on this forum in the past. So if a pro chimes in and corrects me, listen to them.

    Epoxy vs Tile flooring

    Ty. Just surprised more people do go this route. Good luck with the epoxy. And consider primer. A lot of failed epoxy, the vendors state that a primer would have helped.

    quality 5 gal gas can?

    Jerry can all the way. No one has these retarded *** plastic pieces of **** anywhere else in the world. Jerry cans are proven and time tested. Buy a few extra seals. When they are shut, they are shut. We used to leave them in the passenger compartment in cars in Russia all the time. No smell, no...

    Shop Insulation....Cinder Block Wall

    Frame up walls, about an inch or so away from the wall. Spray foam. This would probably be most expensive, but best return the longer you keep the shop.

    Milwaukee vs Facom vs Makita vs Dewalt comparison thread

    Makita for my impact and drill/impact. Milwaukee for sawzal and pipe cutter. Most often my issue is the battery. But my Makita impact has had an extremely rough life and it is still going strong. I have personally ran maybe a million screws with it. For everything. From installing 2 screws per...

    Drywalling... Does doing the ceiling first really matter?

    You mean corner bead. No. Don't put that in an inside corner ever. You want it to be 100% sure it never falls down? Use construction adhesive. PL Premioum. Screw it in. Next day you can remove all your screws if you want to. Just makes it a huge ***** if you ever need to remove that section...

    Drywalling... Does doing the ceiling first really matter?

    I've done it both ways, and still do. I sometimes have guys working on stuff in the ceiling, and can get the sheetrock up on the walls. So that is how it goes. It doesn't matter much. Support the corner by the sheetrock? So how is said corner being supported in the middle of the ceiling...

    Old Man New Shop

    What is that skylight tunnel made of. Really hard to tell. I made a few tunnels like that. I used that shiny insulation and 1/4 plywood. It was really heavy at 4'x4'x8' tall, well maybe more unmanagable than heavy. I could not get it up myself.

    Confusion

    Damn so many replies, and no one recommended Porcelain Tiles. Click links in my signature for more info. Or search here. You want to do a floor once and forget about it. That is the only solution.

    Solid (Laminated?) 2x4 Loft/Mezzanine Floor

    The way I imagined them threading sections. As in they glue a bunch together. Threaded rods through it. Washer and nut to compress it. One side goes to a wall, no rod sticking out, the other end, the threaded rod sticking out to accept next section. Next section is the same way, with the...

    Solid (Laminated?) 2x4 Loft/Mezzanine Floor

    Have you tried to bench glue a few pieces together, run that section through the planer, then install that. I am not sure if this would help much, especially since you will need longer screws to get the bigger sections together. Have you tried staggering the crowns? Curious if this would help...

    So what are your impressions? How did you end up attaching them? How did you plane it?
