I saw this thread late last night and it about blew me away! I have my father's tool chest that he used during WWII when he worked at Lockheed Burbank building P-38's. My father was deferred from service for most of the war because he worked in a defense plant; however, as the war was winding...

Robert you have me drooling over your sheet metal equipment, I badly need a source for equipment like that!

KPS, this kind of summary of your research helps a great deal, there has to be others out there who wanted shy away from painting their floor and wanted just a natural concrete look and still want to seal against grease, oil and other automotive product stains. It is my understanding that the...

I started this thread about a year ago and now the time is fast approaching to seal my floors of my Dream Garage. I would like to revitalize this thread and once again ask for real life experiences with the different types and manufacturers of concrete sealing products. Everyone says their...

This workshop is for working, I do not plan on having any parking spaces except for projects.

I am building a new garage, it will have a "clean workshop' and a "dirty workshop" each being 30' wide on the door end and 48' deep. The shops will be used to build hot rod cars and maintain the grocery getters, truck, etc. The clean side will be used for paint prep and painting. I purchased...

Can you recommend an article, book or link to "How to evaluate a used lathe?"

Doesn't Grizzly sell a stand for that lathe?

Re: Garage Cabinets and Storage I hope this thread takes off, I need a lot of good ideas. Subscribing.

Good question, I am looking for several matching cabinets about the size you mention. Subscribing.

Nuttsgt, do you remember the name or specs of the product you had problems with that you could share with the rest of us? Information about what products to avoid is just as important as recommending products that work. To me it is not so much the money involved as it is applying a product...

Thanks for posting this Keen, this is the real life experiences I have been looking for. Scotty at Legacy and a couple other posters have said the densifier does not prevent oil from penetrating the concrete, but it is good to hear it from an actual user. I have no reason to doubt Scotty or...

I also like the Masonite, but you should find TEMPERED Masonite there is a world of difference between tempered and non-tempered. I, like others, put countersunk screws around the edge, so in the future you just take the screws out and replace the Masonite. My Masonite bench top lasted 20...

Does any one out there have experience with using only a Concrete Densifier on a hard trowelled concrete suface? I know what it is suppose to do, but I would like to hear from someone who has used the product and are you happy with the results. I like the theory of its use, but most say it...

Keen, this is very interesting. Was this V-Seal a waterbased product? I am surprised to hear that an industrial grade sealer did not keep oil and grease from penetrating the concrete finish.

I sealed a floor in a hangar about 18 years ago, several coats of sealer, several coats of polish, the floor looked great, a nice wet look and you could see the reflection of the airplane in the floor, BUT every tire that was parked on this surface left tire marks and does so to this day. I...

Great responses so far, I want to hear about your floor treatment after actually using it for a couple years. I get frustrated reading the ads for treating your garage floor, everyone has the "Worlds Greatest Product." I want to hear the admiration or criticizm after living with it for a...

That is one sweet garage you have there Vdub...good work! I have a friend that has a similar set up with his entry door in the center of the wall, what he did was put a 2 post lift on a diagonal in one of the rear corners so the car would be like on a 45 nosed into the corner. I don't know if...

I am posting this in General Garage Discussion because I want to get real life stories and opinions after living with your floor for a while. The Flooring Discussion is mainly members asking what to use for their new floor, I want to hear from you guys that have been through that, made your...

Ptschram, I sure don't blame you there. This is a personal use only, some legit maintance and storage of farm equipment with the rest being RV and car storage plus a workshop. We are permitting the septic and rest room. All of this is OK with the county, what they don't want is it to become...
