    Mernards pallet racking/shelving?

    I have both but like the Menards for my garage. The beams aren't as tall as the pallet rack beams so easier to load shelf higher. The Menards was rated for 2000 lb per shelf and my pallet rack is 5000 lb. I don't have a forklift so it hardly matters. I said earlier I used osb for my shelfs...

    Mernards pallet racking/shelving?

    I have a lot of the Menards Gorilla shelving and love it. I've never bolted any of it down. I think all my shelving is made from 3/4 inch osb. Have never bought the shelf boards. I have the first shelf up from the floor about 3-4 feet. Can roll generator and air compresser under one 4 foot...

    Any HF tools that have been discontinued that you miss ?

    Not a tool but they used to sell a three piece set of steel spray can holder trays. I think they were 16", 20" and a 24". They work great and hold a lot of cans. I may try and get a picture. They were always hard to find in the store, usually under the table of vises.

    Replacement handle size for Snap On large marine plug screwdriver

    I never new they had that screwdriver and have talked to at least 3 snap on dealers over the years. I would have liked to have had one with a hard handle and the hexagon bolster.

    Any idea what I'm looking at here? "Lincoln" toolbox.

    I really like my Lyon cart. I bought it at an auction for $15.00 a think. Has a 1/4 " steel top. I used to have a 4" vice on it and used it for a little welding table. Now I have a Delta tabletop drill press on it.

    Bought a 40+ year old bandsaw I've never heard of

    I just gave one away like that to a friend. The phone number on a company's tag was only 5 digits. It belonged to another friends dad. I'll try and find my pictures. Still ran good.

    Garage is making me very sick. Need air quality improvements.

    Do you have anything new in the exercise area? rubber floor mats? An exercise machine with paint or foam cushion? Just thinking of the immediate area your working out in and anything that might be different and cause an allergy or fumes.

    Removing bedrooms for a taller garage?

    I'd keep looking. If you could find an old commercial building to buy/rent in an outlying town at a reasonable cost would be great. Use it to work/store your projects. Problem is anything less than 1/2 hour from your home is still pretty valuable property. If you could find something in Hills or...

    Garage Ceiling Materials - Alternatives?

    I just did steel in my 17x24 by myself and want to let people know how I did it. I used a Black and Decker Workmate as a drywall lift. I have a low ceiling and was able to use a long broom clamped in the workmate to hold up one end. Then I could raise it and hold it in place hands free while I...

    Sealing Around Garage Door

    I ordered and installed Green Hinges almost 2 weeks ago and I really like them. Took about 15 minutes to install and the first thing I noticed was less sound. I'm close to a railroad crossing where they blow train horn. A train went by within minutes of closing the door and much less noise. I...
