I am looking into have 2 bar tops made from live edge wood. I had hickory in mind, maybe oak? Thoughts on that. One would be placed under a 1/2 garage door and would have seating on both sides. The other would be more of a normal bar. Looking for ideas and suggestions on thickness, etc.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on dense pack cellulose/fiberglass? I had my shop spray foamed with 2.5-3 inches of closed cell foam. I just had a friend build a shop. He did 1-1.5 inches of closed cell foam and then they did a “dense fill” cellulose to finish out the 2x6 studs. I was very very...

Where is the best source for tongue and groove knotty pine? I am thinking I want a few different widths and would need roughly 650 square feet for a bar room. Not sure if i should go to the local lumber yard.....menards/lows.....or more of a saw mill type of place.....

I have a bale wrapper that runs on a Honda gx390 motor. Many probably don’t know what a bale wrapper is but that is kind of irrelevant. The first motor lasted 4 years before it started burning oil….the one currently on it has lasted 2 years and is burning oil. They get worked pretty hard and...

I have a "bar room" inside my shop. For the ceiling/loft above I used I-joist. It is a 20' span and they're 12" oc. I found 48' I-joist for $10 each so I couldn't turn them down. I cut short pieces of I joist on each end to brace them from side to side. I will have 3/4 tongue and groove...

I picked up a used 20” drill press today. The seller kept the lube system off of it. He has a hole threaded in the corner. Any ideas what it would take and I would need to put something back on it? I looked at some kits on Amazon but I haven’t came up with a great idea.

I have been looking for a good used drill press. They’re always more than I want to spend or I’m too late. I found this Dayton model tonight. It is in very good shape. What’s a fair price?

I have a 54x100 building. I am putting a 20x24 room along one of the 100' walls somewhat in the middle. South of the room will be "cold storage" and North/west of it will be fixed up shop. I was considering a mini split inside the 20x24 room. My issue is where to mount the condenser. I...

Has anyone purchased from this place? The website seems more legit than most scammer websites. Prices seem too good to be true on some stuff.

I bought some Swann security cameras. I want to mount them to metal barn siding. I was just going to fasten them to the metal with a 2x4 behind it. How have people ran the wires through metal though? I don't want to have to make any bigger hole than I have to. I am probably going to put 3...

I found a craftsman 17” 1.5 hp drill press for sale about an hour away. It operas to be in good shape. I’ve been on the lookout for something a little bigger. The guy is asking $100. Are these decent or should I keep looking?

Working on lights/electrical in my shop this weekend. I want to put a couple fans on the ceiling. I am looking for advice where/how many. I obviously can’t put it where my overhead door rolls up. I also don’t want it above the 24x24 room. I am going to have storage above that but only about...

My shop has 2 foot cement walls around it with the exception of an interior wall. I plan to put white metal on the walls. I want to put some sort of wood at the bottom incase I want to fasten, hang stuff, etc. I was considering getting nice 3/4” plywood and using that. How high up would you...

I am planning to put 4 ceiling fans in my shop. Maybe something similar to what I have attached in the link? Most of the similar fans I've looked at all include their own speed control. Some are reversible and some are not but everything I have found has the little switch on the fan itself...

I need to get some lights ordered for my shop. I have decided on a 160-170 watt linear high bay. I have found them in the $100 range and also for 2-3x as much. What’s everyone’s thoughts? I don’t want to buy junk but if $100 lights will serve me just fine I am all for it.
