What would be an easy method to dull the finish of bright aluminum treadplate (diamond plate)? I've got a 6'x6' ramp that I'm looking for a matte/satin finish to provide a slightly better grip and less shine. It is in bright shine currently, and I don't want to have to dull it using a pad or...

I've got a few High Bay LED lights that I'm not using and thinking of installing in a garage with 10' flat sheetrock ceiling - but rather than pointing straight down where the spot would be too bright, I'm thinking of putting them in the corners pointing up and reflecting off the ceiling. Was...

With the Harbor Freight Hercules table saw work on the Bosch TS2100 "Gravity Rise" rolling saw stand work? Based on what I've read about the stand, yes. Curious if anyone else here as put these two together...

Has anyone modified the Harbor Freight 46" mobile work bench/storage cabinet into a welding cart? https://www.harborfreight.com/tool-storage-organization/tool-storage/46-in-mobile-storage-cabinet-with-wood-top-64012.html I know HF has the large Vulcan cart...

A neighbor has an epoxied garage floor and wants to fill the expansion joints (they are the larger ones done with a trowel vs saw cuts) I suggested this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/PC-Products-PC-Concrete-9-oz-Epoxy-072561/100653148 but wasn't sure if he would have any issues with it...

I've got 4 New Age Pro upper cabinets that I'm looking to mount in my 20' shipping container and looking for suggestions as to how to best mount them. I don't want to pierce the skin, so drilling/screwing/bolting to the walls isn't a option. I could weld some angle and flat stock to the...

I've done the google, but can't seem to find what each of the 2 doors of a standard shipping container weighs. Anyone removed the doors from their container and give me a guesstimate on the weight of each door? I know, an odd question, but I have my reasons for wanting to know. Thx.

I've got a line on a almost new, slightly/lightly used Husky 60 Gallon compressor for $350. New they are $550+ tax https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-60-Gal-Stationary-Electric-Air-Compressor-C602H/205389936?MERCH=REC-_-PIPHorizontal2_rr-_-100083906-_-205389936-_-N While obviously not the...

There seems to be a significant price difference between a red iron engineered and prefabricated steel building of the same size. What are generally the factors that determine which way to go? pros/cons (besides price) between the two?

While a hot knife might be the least messy for standard polystyrene, not sure it would work with the foil? (not to mention the off-gasses may be slightly toxic) A saw - hand, power or table would make short work of it, but the mess! A utility knife, scoring and snapping like drywall...

Ok, so I've read countless threads and posts about insulating garage doors - and which side the reflective face of the rigid insulation goes. (like an RMax product) However, most of these applications are to reflect the heat back INTO the garage for northern climates in the winter - my...

I am looking to store all my motorcycle jackets (most are leather and heavy) in the garage in a wardrobe cabinet. I was leaning toward NewAge as I already have a couple Pro - tall cabinets and wall cabinets and know their quality, but the price is around $600. I can get a Sandusky - larger (46"...

Will be painting the roof of my shipping container to reduce heat gain from the sun. Is it worth using a roof sealer like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Henry-4-75-Gal-287-Solar-Flex-White-Roof-Coating-HE287SF871/100051140 over a simple white exterior paint? The container is water tight, so...

For those of you who have a shipping container (either 40' or 20') and have moved it within your property, what have you found to be the best way to do so? If were to go straight forward/backward, I'd jack it up (empty) use round timbers/poles and use a truck or winch to roll it. I'd imagine if...

I'm considering getting a 20' One-Trip shipping container for temporary storage while we build the extra garage/shop, which may be a year+ before that gets built. The rental storage pods are too small and a 40' container too large for the lot. There is no HOA, so I'm ok there. The question I...

As many of you may know, Harbor Freight was selling their 7-drawer, 18" side tool chest cabinet day-in-day-out for $169.99. It has been at this price for some time now, but then not long ago moved the price up to $179.99 and more recently (within the last few days/week) to $219.99...

This is my 2nd 3-car garage I've done with Legacy Industrial products. The first was a couple years ago when we found ourselves in Fayetteville, AR due to a work relocation - needed to shorten the time without a garage (a new build) so went with the Nohr Polyurea - I knew going in that the pot...

I have 4 Lithonia 2 ft high bay LED lights: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Lithonia-Lighting-2-ft-White-LED-High-Bay-Light-IBH-11L-MV/203812710 I got these out of a warehouse application and am in the planning stages in building an additional 24x40 garage/shop that will only have a 11-12'...

Expanding my two 44" HF tool chests and considering between adding two of the 7 drawer side cabinets or going with one 7 drawer and one tall end locker cabinet. While it obviously depends on what I need to store, I'm curious with those of you who have either/or would you choose differently now...

Currently it's at $169.99 http://www.harborfreight.com/tool-storage/tool-chests-roller-cabinets/18-in-7-drawer-glossy-red-end-cabinet-for-roller-tool-chest-68785.html In searching the site, I'm not seeing it has been any cheaper, and in fact, in 2013-2014 if it got close to $200, it was...
