Today up here in canadaland my city temp was -38c -52 with windchill

Another vote for modine! Have a 50k nat gas unit in my 22x24 and heats it nicely in -30c.

Yes its going to be prebent by the steel shop 4" lip down the front and 4" backsplash. I was always leaning towards of plywood under just for sound deadening. While building this i realized my garge is 2" lower from from front to back lol.

So got the benches built now time for 3/16 metal tops going on. Should i just slap the tops ontop of the 4x4 or shouls i put some plywood inder before? i have bunch of 1/2" im thinking of going down 1st.

Thanks guys PT it is then!!! Will update once im done.

Anybody see any issues with using pressure treated 4x4 for a work bench build? I have access to alot of them for next to nothing. Ill be painting them once the benches are built before the steel tops go on them.

The only reason we even looked at our house is because i was doing drive by looks and notice the 8ft door on the garage. I called my wife right there and said set up a viewing! The online pics were awful of the house but in person it was beautiful 1928 home. The garage isnt a monster but i can...

All great ideas guys! I just didnt have any real projects going on she could help. I know she will be happy doing anything in the garage. She loves wearing safety glasses lol.

So im looking for ideas of little things me and my 5 year old can do together in the garage. Not full on projects just little stuff. She loves to use tools and "fix" stuff. I find her trying to connect with me more now by showing interest in thing i enjoy like "beer, land cruisers,star wars...

I use leaf blower to get all the resting dust ontop of stuff. Blow it once then wait a couple hours then give it another shot. Then ltr that night i break out the shop vac and clean the floors and under stuff etc.

Just go with a single wythe wall. Wood frame it then just do a veneer the cost will be expensive to have a decent bricklayer relay the double wythe wall. In Ont. they are paying $1.25 per brick laid and are short of guys.

Any hookups for older model cabinets? i have ones from prob 6 years ago and i need to match one upper cabinet for the remodel of my garage its a 26" wide 16" deep 2 door. They dont even make a 16" deep cabinet anymore.

So this is my design I've worked on to lay out my benches. The large 34" opening I will tuck my 2 welders into. Im torn on the space beside the 34" opening on weather to put a shelf there or leave it fully open. I had thought of maybe a small mobile welding cart i can tuck away under it. I dunno...

Great looking bench there lis! Id love to find some angle stuff like that to use but likely wont be able to anywhere

Yes im thinking 1/8" will be plenty stout. Thickest plate for top will be 3/8 at most. See what kinda price i can get on that. This is for a 16' long bench that will be built 1st

Im ordering 124ft of 2x2 steel to build my work bench but unsure of thickness to go with? They have diff sizes from .100w-.250w i have no idea what that equlas in inches. How thick should i be going with it will be a medium duty bench with steel top. Ill be making a dedicated fab mobile cart...

Your best course of action would be to put a angle iron attached to the step and relay the brick ontop of that. The sidewalk and concrete step move differently so its best to keep the step all on its own. It will happen again as one moves more then the other.

In the masonry industry we call this "lick and stick" haha. Ive redone dozens of old dated fireplace as yours. Pretty straight forward. I suggest calling on local bricklayers to quote you on a price. Typically i charge $22-26sqft that material and labour. You can try it on your own but be...

IT will be a light-mid weight castable you are drilling into. Use a small hammer drill and start drilling on the exposed side as it will tend to spawl when exiting. 100% masonry bit. Start slow on the trigger to get the hole started then sink it in. Im a refractory bricklayer for over 20 years...
