Post: RE: Aluminum decking vs the million other options

That last picture is the upper left corner of the garage door opening. I'm the first picture, that spot is hidden by the upper left corner of the garage door itself. Maybe I could hang stuff from ...

Post: RE: 1/12 straight router bit for cutting through m...

I have a 1/8" (~3mm) router bit, but the cutting length is significantly shorter. Maybe 1/2"? A 2mm diameter and almost an inch of cutting length would make me nervous about shattering/exploding while...

Post: RE: Tile Layout in Shower

Post: RE: Chisel rack....install it bark side up or down

In my opinion, I like bark side down. It gives a hint of the natural edge look without overpowering. Plus, it won't collect as much dust/dirt in the hard to clean rough bark. If you like the rustic...
