    Between 265 & 485 SQ/FT Anyone out there with a small 2 car garage?

    A two car garage will always be SMALL in my opinion! My adult son told me that he learned at university the maxim that Limitations require/encourage creativity. I had been yearning for a bigger place, but for now I think I will have to become more creative.

    New build concrete. Fibermesh without steel/rebar?

    So that is around $13/SF - BUT the footers make it hard to figure out the correct unit pricing. I presume you have a permit. What do the architect/engineer plans specify about the slab? Does this concrete guy know how limited your options are? And time of year wise? When are you planning on...

But I have a pair of Craftsman channel style pliers (made in France!) from over 20 years ago that I prefer over the same size ChannelLocks. Now the Knipex Raptor style has only been useful once.

    Would you stick a lathe on top of this?

    Would you stick a lathe on top of this?

    What are you going to do about the drawers in that base? You could add a bunch of weight to the base in form of bags of sand, bricks, etc. That might damp out the vibrations.
