I always like to see the tide lose. I put 2 kids through LSU a few years ago. They are now 40 and 41.

grandutefan, I suggest that you at least have the ceiling sprayed with insulating foam. A lot of heat will radiate from the metal roof. If the walls are screwed on, I would take them off and foam that also. I have a shop in the rear of my garage and I had the walls and ceiling foamed and it...

I put T-track in my bench to allow me to put multiple tools on my bench. Here is a post that I made in 2011 showing my setup. http://www.thehighroad.org/showpost.php?p=7420946&postcount=2118

There is some room on the side of the bookcase that looks like a good place to hang them where you will not bump them as much. Another option is screw in some hooks under the shelf and hang them there.

When you post a reply, you will see a box in the menu that looks a bit like a mountain. If you hover your mouse over it, you will see "insert image". To use this, you must have a URL of a image residing on a web site. In my case, I have my own web site and I can FTP images there then paste or...

I used contact cement to attach laminate sheets to my MDF workbench. I makes it a lot easier to clean. Here is my post from 2011. http://www.thehighroad.org/showpost.php?p=7420946&postcount=2118

OK, how do I flip that pic? I use the Firefox browser and I installed an add-on Image Zoom. It lets you right click on an image and either magnify it or rotate it or both. The other option would be the turn the camera over and re-take the shot.:D:D:D

I have used that French Cleat system to hang cabinets and other tools. It gives a lot of versatility. Great looking room!

The beauty of this is that you can not hide stuff behind other stuff. If you need deeper shelves, You could make triangle shaped plywood brackets that stick out as far as you need and put deeper shelves on them. Just screw them into the studs.

I feel better now. ;)

Is this a wide angle lens and not a curved bench?

I wish that we could send you some of the rain that we in Louisiana and Texas have been experiencing.

I attached my press to a block of plywood that could be clamped to a 2 ft wide folding table. Later when we built a new house, I made the workbench where I could attach the block as needed. Here is my post from 2011. http://www.thehighroad.org/showpost.php?p=7420946&postcount=2118

cgrutt, this is a knife that I am in the process of finishing. I used aquafortis, which has nitric acid in it to bring out the figure of the maple. The scales are birds eye maple that had the eyes on the edge. You have to apply it and then heat it to make it react to the sugar in the maple. It...
