Hey everyone. Is it acceptable to sand a floor with a DA and skip the etching? This would be prepping for a garage floor paint or coating of some kind. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

I’m hoping to fix up my floor sometime in the next few months. I’ve been reading a bunch here and on Pinterest, so I know there is a lot out there to choose from. Here are my issues; I love the look of tiles like Racedeck and their simplicity, but I’m hoping to get back to my welding projects...

I have a space heater for a small garage. The problem I am having is that after about 15 minutes or so, it kicks off my breaker. With nothing else on the circuit, it has done it on two different circuits. Any idea why? The heater is pretty new and seems to be in good shape. It's like this...

I'm welding two 45* pieces of angle iron together to make a 90*. Should I just weld the inside seam with a lot of penetration or should I weld the outside edge as well? Seems like welding the outside vertical edge will be tricky. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone know of a way to get access to a blasting cabinet? I just don't use one enough to justify the purchase of the compressor and equipment. I'd be interested in renting if that is an option. There are some "hacker labs" in the Sacramento area, but they charge 100$ a month. Any...

I bought a used metal cabinet today. Decent shape. 36x24x72. I would like to place it in the corner of my garage, but I am finding the the cement is not lever there. It rises slightly in the corner. This make the cabinet rock back and forth and effects the door operation. Any suggestion on how...

So here is my dilemma. My project car is currently not running. Any time I need to move it out of my garage I need to recruit the help of my wife. It is pretty inconvenient. Driveway is just a little too steep. I'm trying to think of an inexpensive way to get the car out and back in safely...

Does anyone know where/how to get the front cover for a Kennedy 520 toolbox? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just picked up some old toolboxes and I'm looking to restore them. I'd like to paint them to match my HF 44" chest. Does anyone know what the best color matched spray paint would be (brand/color)? Thanks everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey all. Simple question here. Is a 90 degree upturn in a dryer vent safe? Dryer is on the other side of the wall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I guess it's time to start my build thread. I moved into this place about a year ago and haven't had time to get it together. With summer coming, I figure it's time. All I have had done is the lighting. They are the HD led linkable lights. I love them, but I'm not real happy with how the...

For you guys that do a lot of welding in your garage, what type of floor/flooring works best? I just do hobby and light auto welding. I like the race deck type flooring, but I'd worry about ruining it. Thanks guys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is anyone running these? My plan is to run about 8 of them in a 2 car. It's actually a 1 and 2/3 car garage with a walled off wash room. Are they bright enough? Durable vrs the T8? Thanks. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Commercial-Electric-4-ft-White-LED-Linkable-Shop-Light-54103161/205331022...

Does anyone sell 8' led shop lights? I know they don't make 8' bulbs so I assume they would be 4 bulb fixtures. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Will my 6 gallon bostich compressor run these for just small and quick applications like small car parts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Harbor Freight has a 4.5" grinder and a 3" cut off tool for sale. Grinder is 11.99 the cutoff is 19.99. I already have one 4.5" grinder. My plan is to have one tool for cutting and the other set up for grinding (flap wheels and such) so I'm not having to switch wheels all the time. My...

I was at harbor freight today and I took a long look at third table top band saw. I think it was selling for around 140. With the right blade can that be used to cut metal? Nothing big. Maybe 2" angle iron or square tubing. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So here is my plan. I bought a harbor freight 30" tool cart with the locking drawer. I am going to put a piece of butcher block in the top then bolt down my ryobi table top drill press and a grinder. It's says it will hold 350lbs. You all think this will work out? The grinder is pretty small...

I just got a new toolbox and I'm going to try and improve on my organization. Any suggestion on a good drawer mat/liner? I want something more rubber than foam. I hate The foam I have in my old box. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have any of you converted a table top drill press to a floor type? I have more floor space that bench space. Thanks Dave Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
