    Thanks, Mike.
    I was discussing the cabinets with a friend from woodworking school many years back and he answered a question of mine "you really can't make shop cabinets too nice." I took that to...

    New shop cabinets (under bench)

    I’ve had these shop cabinets in mind for years. They’re installed under an old workbench that I’ve had for quite a while. There were definitely some challenges getting them installed - due to me not...

    I really like this idea. It may be that one wouldn't even see the slot if there isn't a label in there.

    I also appreciate the other suggestions - tape, label maker, etc. I'll see what I land on...

    Looks like a good project, Jim. I知 always pleasantly surprised how good a space feels (and sounds) with some insulation.
    I recently used OSB for the walls and ceiling of my shop. While I stuck to...

    Shop drawer labels?

    I値l be building some cabinets for drawers in my shop soon. I値l likely end up with 16-20 individual drawers. I have some general ideas on what I値l store in them but I know that will evolve. I知...

    Thanks for the info, folks. I think I've arrived at not putting casters on the cabinet. I went to HD yesterday and fondled some (apparent decent quality) locking casters. I believe the locking...

    Thanks, Prashun.

    I have in mind the ability to put a couple screws through back of cabinet into my (1/2" OSB) shop walls if needed - to get the cabinet more stationary. They'd be simple enough to...
  9. Wheels for standalone (sharpening) cabinet

    I'm designing a simple (~26" wide, 4 drawers) cabinet for my sharpening station. I was given a 1 3/4" thick butcher block top that will be the surface. I'll keep my grinder on the top at all times...

    Thanks, Hoang.
    After posting my thread I dug up an old reply you sent me a few months back recommending Conklin. I talked with them a bit ago and think they'll be a good source for much, if not...
  11. Need advice on ducting for new DC - mainly around fittings

    I got the go-ahead on upgrading my shop DC from a Delta portable 1.5HP to a dedicated/installed DC. I'm leaning heavily towards the Oneida 3HP Dust Gorilla Pro. Regardless of the DC I select...

    Sounds like vertical won the vote here.
    I did the same recently and copied Sam Layton's wood storage rack. Here are a couple pics (framed up and then with the plywood cover).

  13. Dust Collection for miter saw station - shop vac or 1.5HP DC?

    I'm upfitting my shop (30'x20' garage of my 4 car garage) and plan to build a miter saw station. I'm designing the cabinets for that now and need to determine the dust collection approach and...

    Point well taken, Karl. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who sometimes can't find an open horizontal surface to set down a roll of electrical tape, much less a couple sharpening stones.

    This comment hit home, Derek. I realize that if the grinder takes some set up it will diminish my chance of using it when needed. Thanks for that insight.
  16. Sharpening station design help - grinder on rails?

    As part of my shop upfit, I want to build a sharpening station. I've added a sink to the shop and plan to locate my sharpening station right beside it. I'm a water stone and grinder user so the...

    Mobility would be very nice. Not only can it be moved to where you need it but it also allows for working from all sides (I can't work from the back of my workbench, for example, as it's against a...
  18. Are these tools worth selling (or shipping)?

    Pre-post: Please advise if this is an inappropriate post here. I'm not trying to sell here, just get feedback on value. Thanks - Matt

    Thanks, Jim. I see that cover has corner holes for mounting to the box. I do see metal square boxes at big box store that I think would work but it seems a blue plastic double gang box would not...

    I likely will need to do the same - using a double gang box with a single gang outlet/plate for the tool connection. I was at the orange big box store this morning and didn't readily see a reducer. ...

    Yep, more cutoffs than I should have and I still tossed a lot out in the cleanup. Because of the number of cutoffs I think I'd change it a bit if doing again. I opted to have the top section for...
