Light is the answer. Paint the ceiling or the rafter white. If you have open rafters, mount a couple of fluorescent fixtures pointing up - otherwise that dark area "sucks" light up and makes the whol

Spoken like a true Californian. Well, OK. In areas where ice dams are a problem, consider clerestory windows instead. The point is that you want to get as much (free) natural light into the shop are

There are 1500W quartz/IR heaters that are about the same size as a fluorescent fixture. They are supposed to be on a dedicated 15A 120V circuit. (There's also a 3000W version that wants a 15A 220V c

www.mcmaster.com has interlocking vinyl floor tile, 12x12 open grid. They get $3.20 for the "heavy duty" stuff and $4.30 for the light duty (go figger). Must not be a high demand for it, or there's a

The rubber diamond plate is great stuff, but I know you can get it for much less than Griot's sells it. Try Mcmaster-Carr for starters.

Well ... if they had built the snap-on handles at 90 degrees, you'd either end up with a really thick working end, or a very fragile joint between the handle and the end. Won't work either. For hard

OK ... if you're going to do anything other than a fine adjustment on this bench, you want to bolt it down, then. And you probably want to bolt the corner with the vise, if you're only bolting one. I
