    Gladiator Cabinets.

    I think he is looking for shelves to go inside his Gladiator cabinets, not standalone shelves for the gear rack. This is the route I would go.

    Butcher Block Workbench Top Installation on HF 44" Box

    It is International brand, part number vrs-4200rd. It is on Amazon for $155 with free prime shipping. I actually special ordered mine at Home Depot for the exact same price since I was buying something else at the time. It's not the best locker, but since HF no longer produces one, it was the...

    Show me your HF toolbox!

    Ha, it may have been yours then that I copied. I had the same sticker laying around and I saw it in that spot on another box and thought it looked like a nice placement for it. This box will probably be all stickered up before I'm done...

    The wife is going to be mad

    Begging for forgiveness is much easier than asking for permission. The OP made a mistake ordering from Amazon, their return policy is too easy :evil:

    I'm fairly certain my 6 month old could torque the lugs on my dually with that much leverage :drool:

    Vertical to Horizontal Mounted Outlet Question

    Lucky? No, I believe code calls for at least 6" of slack inside the box, I think I started out with 6.5 or 7" in the box and the receptacle was pigtailed to the wires entering and leaving the box, so plenty to reach the extra 1.5" or so to the front of the backsplash. As far as getting the romex...

    Vertical to Horizontal Mounted Outlet Question

    None of the original box is behind the pegboard, 100% of the box is accessible through the countertop backsplash, remove the cover, remove the outlet, voila there's the box. The original box is gone, replaced by that horizontal box and extender ring. Even so, that 24x22 section of pegboard is...

    Made in USA 1/2" speed handles. <$5 with free shipping

    Received my KD handle last night, same oversize box, but I did also order another item that came with it. My KD handle did not appear new, no label or anything, (it did have a sticky area that seemed like a label had been stuck there). It appeared to have black greasy remnants in the handle...

    Butcher Block Workbench Top Installation on HF 44" Box

    Ok guys, thanks for all the suggestions. I think I have come up with my plan. I think I will substitute the MDF for some ply, it will be sealed with the same sealer I use on the top. I'll cut them as a full slab for each open section of the top of the box approximately 17x18, 42x18, and 14x18...

    Butcher Block Workbench Top Installation on HF 44" Box

    67 Carl, I had the exact same idea at first, and still may consider it, though my router seems to have grown legs and went missing from my parent's shop. But I also worry about routing 3/4" into a 1-1/2" top, that would be removing 1/2 of the material and potentially creating a weak spot for a...

    Butcher Block Workbench Top Installation on HF 44" Box

    In my first post above I suggested 3/4" MDF as a spacer, I was looking for input on that material and idea, whether I should make one solid "plate" for each section, or strips of MDF to leave the top free to expand/contract. I'm not sure how I feel about epoxy or glue as the wood and metal...

    Butcher Block Workbench Top Installation on HF 44" Box

    Don't think I will be just setting it on top due to the top of the box not being flat, there is a 3/4" tall lip all around the box and around each side cabinet. Any other input?

    Made in USA 1/2" speed handles. <$5 with free shipping

    I got the same notification. I bought 3 things, one showed up in only 2 days. The other tracking number was sent to GSANG, but if you actually go in and put that tracking number into FedEx's site, mine said there were "two shipments with that number" The first was delivered to GSANG, the second...

    Mystery Tool Of The Day

    There is one very similar in my parent's shop, same ratcheting direction mechanism, but it is longer, and has a larger wood handle. I don't recall any markings on it, but I'll look next time I'm over there. It looks very similar to the direction mechanism on the Yankee screwdrivers, but without...

    Butcher Block Workbench Top Installation on HF 44" Box

    So I have a 44" HF box, with a 7 drawer side cabinet and a half height side locker. Total length is 73" and it is 18" deep. I have a Sears 24"x96" butcher block workbench top I'd like to put on it. I was thinking have a 1" lip all around, so cut it down to 20"x75". I will also be installing a...
