Me too. I'm no expert, but the company that did mine took a week. Day 1 they ground the floor (pressure washing it, from everything I've ever read, is not going to work). Day 2 they cleaned it very thoroughly and patched all the cracks and spalls. Day 3 got a base coat and the chips. Day 4 they...

+1. Mine has suffered a lot more abuse than yours and it still looks perfect. Either that's not an epoxy floor, or the installer really screwed up. As to the slipperiness, it should be textured unless you specifically told them you wanted it totally smooth. Mine's not even the roughest texture...

They discontinue it all the time, and then it always shows up again. I've looked at them. They're nicer than most of the non-pro boxes, but I think Masterforce and the newer Huskys are better. More solid and better drawer layout. But to get a Masterforce in that size you'd be spending around...

I've got full-broadcast epoxy on mine, and I wouldn't change it. If it's freezing where you are, then you're gonna be tracking road salt into it, and it's gonna start looking crappy as the salt attacks the concrete. That's what mine looked like before we had the epoxy done. Spalling all over the...

That's what I would do. Even if it's illegal, by the time the cops get there, you're done and gone.

Yeah, I can see that. I guess I look at 4-posters as "always in use," because if I didn't need a parking lift and just wanted a lift for working on cars, I'd get a 2 post.

I still don't know why you're looking at the 100 inch model. A Honda Accord is 4.75 feet tall. You'd ram it into the ceiling if you lifted it all the way to the top. Unless you're planning something you haven't told us, you'd be better off with the regular version, which would allow for a 5 foot...

People think I'm crazy for considering one of those in my garage with 10 foot ceilings. Unless I'm misreading your 100 inches of clearance part, you have 8.3 foot ceilings? I'm wondering what the point of this lift would be. Unless you're storing something like an F1 car up there, even a...

Wow. I've got the old narrow green one myself. It's a great box - very solidly built, holds any weight I throw at it. I got mildly jealous when they came out with more colors than the weird green. Now I'm really jealous of the extra depth. That's one nice box, and it looks like they aren't...

One closed by me in the States. They had something like $25 off of a large top and bottom tool chest combo. It worked out to less than a 2% discount. Somehow I managed to pass on that awesome deal.

Exactly like that. There's also a row of blocks between the two in the picture (two high). So, 4 feet apart on the 12' side. I honestly don't 100% remember how many are on the long side because we've got plantings around the shed now and they aren't visible, but I'm pretty sure they're also...

I have blocks under my 12x16 shed. It's on a slope, so there are 3-block stacks at the bottom and only 1 at the top. Had it for 4 years now and it hasn't budged. One side has all the heavy equipment while the other has pottery stuff which is all very light, so if the blocks were going to be a...

But he didn't specifically say why, which is why I made the comment. Just tightening them down and then yanking on them probably won't work, but taping on the handle with a wrench will essentially give you a light impact wrench, which might work.

If the Rigid tool doesn't fit, why not try a pair of needle nosed locking pliers. Clamp 'em down really tight at the shallowest angle you can, then tap on the handle with a box wrench to work the nut loose.

I've been working my way through that thread as time permits. It's been very helpful!

Lol. Here: Can't have you leave disappointed. Thanks everyone. I'll start cruising estate sales and flea markets looking for a plane to restore. That'll be a fun project.

It might be a good thing that I am space-limited. That should keep the plane count down to 20 or so ;) But I figure I'll start with one until I figure out what I'm doing with it. Any suggestions on what a newbie should get as a first and for the time being only plane? I have plenty of time to...

Very much a beginner woodworker here, pretty much starting from 0. I'm accumulating tools to practice with, and one tool I don't have that it seems I should is a plane. I see a lot of discussion here and on woodworker sites about how great it is to get an old plane and restore it, which I can...

I have the Bold series. They're not flimsy at all. I'm very happy with them. While I would have preferred the Pro series, that's only for the extra room, not the sturdiness, and my garage is tight enough that the extra size would have been too tight a fit. I do have them bolted to the wall, but...

Radiant in-desk heating. I love it. You could probably sell that.
