Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under It's a long weekend in Melbourne this weekend which is great for some progress updates. Picked up 22 sheets of 12mm formply cheap during the week, warped a bit but a few bags of cement might sort that out Also picked up a heap of steel this morning So...

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under So the drying was mostly done after 24hrs Plenty of streaks from rolling it too much but i'm still stoked with how it looks. As promised, upgraded my photo game to the DSLR Here's a sneak peak of some layout designs, I've changed it a little since but...

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under Spectral it's about 2.2m from memory, rather low and the beams are even lower. I'm fairly heart broken i can't fit a hoist in, but there's space at the back of the property for another garage with a hoist. 1/2 Cup It's only been 24hrs between coats, it...

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under So this was the point where i wished i was more careful with the joint filler Took alot of elbow grease to cleanup the joints. One of these scrapers lasted me a few hours, another lasted 20 seconds Strange hole/contamination came up well At some...

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under Hi Anth, it's underneath the house, living room and kitchen above. Yeah floor prep has been tiring, pretty sore hand today after scraping half the excess epoxy off the joints. I'm a religious BT reader so I'm trying to work to fairly high standards ;)...

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under Hey racingtadpole, picked the shroud up from Bunnings (DTA 125mm dust shroud) I was very tempted to pickup a grinder and cup to match but even with a 100mm cup it generates a HEAP of dust. Be prepared to kill your shop vac. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under Slow and steady update... Prep prep and more prep So after the hire shop was little to no use with providing me a smoothing grinding disc with the floor grinder I purchased this 100 Grit 4" cup wheel from 'abrasives plus', came next day delivery from...

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under Yeah fingers crossed damo I couldn't seem to find a suitable sika alternative....Sikadur 51 SL was the closest but it seems to be industrial based and comes in 4 gallon drums! Before grinding could begin i had to hack up the last bench left over from the...

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under Sorry for misleading you there Mac.....If it makes you feel any better there's a small room next to the garage I wouldn't mind converting into a mini machine shop if I acquire enough tools to justify it. Also out the back I have a 2 car garage that will be...

Hi All, Apologies in advance if this is long winded! I'm Matt, i've been a lurker on the forums for a while now and thought it's probably about time i started a thread to log the progress of my garage transformation. I'll try to give you all some detailed information on progress, some mini...

I've checked almost every inch of the vice and still can't find any markings. Bought it on ebay and the previous owner could only tell me it was at least 30 years old. It's in very good condition though, only surface rust and little to no play. Drivesitfar I've included a few pictures of the...
