    Has anybody here built their garage THEMSELVES?

    For my 38' x 60' shop, I sub'd out the foundation/pour and the truss and roofing work (2 different crews.) I did all the framing, siding, soffits/trim, windows/door/garage door installation, painting, as well as electrical. The inside of my shop is "unfinished."

    Do you have a Rockler woodworking store nearby? They carry Rikon - and they've got a model that I believe fits your specs. It's got some nice features and is priced right at $500. https://www.rockler.com/rikon-12-variable-speed-drill-press 12 In. variable speed benchtop drill press #30-212VS...

    Drive Alarm experiences

    We've used the Mighty Mule wireless system on our property for almost 9 years now. It works by detecting large metal objects via an electric coil in PVC that is buried perpendicular to the driveway. It's sensitive enough to be triggered by my metal wheelbarrow. I've had to replace the...

    I’d recommend a few coats of polyurethane. Three or four good coats should protect the wood nicely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Double sided washers

    Every single washer I've ever used or seen had two sides (double sided) - so I have no clue what you're talking about.

    Need help with a project gentleman

    Dude- post a picture of the entire door opening so we can see and understand what this installation looks like. Shims are used to make something level or plumb. You don't just use shims as "stuffing" to fill in gaps from poor measurements or craftsmanship.

    Any Stanley plane gurus? Help with ID?

    It definitely is a nice "user" plane. If it had a corrugated sole it would have a bit more value. I'd think you could probably get $75 - maybe even $100 for it.

    Oscillating Tool attachments - are they universal?

    They are not ALL universal, but several makes are interchangeable - and several blade/attachment brands' design allows different mfr tools to use them. I can't say in particular which are interchangeable though.

    FREE BendPak lift – we’re giving it away

    I just saw this post - and I'm local to the ATL area! I'm up in the Lawrenceville area. I built my 38' x 60' shop about 3 years ago. I outsourced the ground work, foundation, and the truss installation and sheathing with a crew. I designed the shop myself, with the first 20' section on the...

    Table saw

    If you've got the funds and plan to do woodworking definitely investigate Sawstop. They have a contractor model that I believe is US $1300 or so that would likely suite your purpose.

    Plastics welding equipement

    FYI, there are a few youtube videos on using blue tarp material as filler for plastic part welding/repair. I don't think every job takes special tools and filler.
