Have been pondering flooring options for my new 40x50 (Link here), in which I do a lot of mixed work but much of it "heavy" work that is hard on floors. Earth moving equipment repairs, machining, welding, etc. I've pondered VCT and topical coatings, but don't think they'll last for the most...

I have finally started on my dream build (after more than a decade of planning), a 40x50 foot, 18' high steel building from Metallic Steel Buildings. Some details: - Pre-engineered steel building - built for the pacific coast means our seismic requirements make things BEEFY - 14'x14' bay door...

Maybe not the most glamorous build in the world, but just finished up fabrication on a new firewood rack for in the house. Had an existing one that I thought was a decent design, but way too small. So I borrowed from it and build myself a larger version. Video Link: Just learning how to...

Well it took me nearly 2 years, but I finally finished my dining room table build. A combination of 3D printing, woodwork and metalwork were used to create a piece that I am incredibly proud of: Build Video here: Please come by and check out my video. And hey, if you like these kinds of...

Zengineer's Making Vids Thread Hey folks. I know most here are metal workers or car guys... but some of us straddle those worlds as well as woodworking. I was looking for an option for spraying around the house, wood projects, metal projects, etc. Ended up finding this Fuji on sale, and I'm...

I figured with the OCD nature of this site and its posters, someone must have some suggestions for this. I'm in the preliminary design portion of my (bigger) garage build. Right now I have the 24'x16' linked in my signature. I plan for the next one to be around 1000sqft, and once built will...

Looking at a number of metal lathes for home/personal use. My uses will include aluminum and steel, as well as plastics. I may even DIY CNC it at some point if I'm looking for an added hobby. My budget is around $4000. Looking for 2hp, 220v single phase, gear head, etc. Looking in the 12-14"...

Looking for some fixture options to accommodate 2, medium base bulbs each. Ceiling mounted. Ideally I'd like something diffused, industrial looking and inexpensive. (ie: less than $25 each) If I can't beat that price I'll look to cheaper options (see below)! I'm not sure what I'm looking for...

A new puppy in our life as of January 3rd, somekind of mixed breed almost certainly containing german shepherd. Aptly named "Bender" after some wonky looking ears, and as a bit of a nod to Futurama. Trying to design and build the 15yr doghouse, not knowing whether it will be under cover or in...

A bit of a different take on this common question. I've done the analysis already for my 16x24 garage. Current solution is 8 x 60w bulbs with plastic/ceramic bases. Listed 1st on the list. This is supposed to be a budget build, which is holding me back a little from going with the T8...

The title says most of it... Looking for a 3/8" drive, snap-on rachet, non-flex head in good-excellent condition. Preference to current lineup, comfort handles. Must be willing to ship (via USPS) to Canada. PM me your price, and at least 2 clear photos if you have something for sale. Thank you!

Sanctum Machanicus Bought the house in December of 2007, my first house. Came with a decently sized carport, 16' x 24' or so, with a cracked and broken slab. Provided some covered parking and workspace (though cold sometimes!) for the better part of 2 years. In October of 2009, we started what...
