    Epoxy sealant / durable coat on plywood workbench top

    built a 4' x 5' portable workbench for my vice, as an assembly and worktop, and found a product to harden delaminations and scars/ chips on the crappy subfloor top. It is PC Petrifier, which I am unimpressed with after using it. Plan was to harden the area's pre-patching with PC woody. Then I...

    Boosting cell signal in steel building?

    Hello, searched but didn't find anything. I have ATT service, and most days I don't get signal inside my steel building, but if I roll up a door and place the phone just inside ( usually to get it out of direct sunlight heating it up) I can get a signal. For the winter, this isn't usually a...

    insight on e-conolight LED?

    My electrician showed me 9 of these mounted in a neighbors new shop, 40' x 60', same design as my shop only smaller, and they looked good. My phone- fc meter shows they are 20% brighter than my James 4' 225 watt lights. ( 255 FC on my James- econolights 311 FC) Both seem to be enough light to my...

    Trench drain suggestions

    I am having a contractor lay road base in front of my shop, which is 12" above grade due to flood rules. He says he can lay it so the bottom of the V drains away from my house, but I am thinking placing an in ground open grated Trench drain is the best way to guarantee I won't drive through...

    Help selecting a table saw

    I have always used an old Craftsman steel tablesaw dad bought back in the mid 70's when we build his house, and with my own shop coming in a few months I can't wait to get a mid priced table saw , initially to cut plywood, up to 2x8's for the building and later to start making cabinets, shadow...

    Nucor vs MBCI building quality?

    I have 2 contractors bidding on my 50x 90 x 20 eves building, and they both just gave me color charts , so I assume the Nucor and MBCI are the 2 steel building companies each will use. I have been talked into no skylights, as UV will still come through to bleach the vinyl roof on my RV's and...
