Taking a break from shop renovations and been doing some car work (what a concept).
Recent tasks include a lot of media blasting so it was time to do some maintance on the blast cabinet. Have had this one since 1997.



New Led light strips.



And new gloves and window shield.

Would you please describe your Commercial Hollow Metal entrance door(s) so I can shop online for similar.

Do they swing out for security ???

Brand name etc

I want to replace my cheap wood (metal clad) swing in shop door with something like yours.

My shop is stick framed 2x6 with Cedar Lap Sided Exterior

Thanks

Chuck, we installed three of these doors, they are all 36x80 hung inside their own frame. The frame can be dismantled for install in an existing opening. The door frame can expand up to 10 inches.
It opens outward for security but primarily fire and building code. I think the brand is Accurate Door, which is a local manufacture. Its not carried by the big box stores. Ours were acquired locally though an outfit, Jacks Building Supplies. Additional hardware we installed were automatic closer and double Medeco locks.

Good luck with your plans.

Paul

I like your LED light strips. How do you think they're going to hold up? I'm going to "restore" my blast cabinet and lighting is one of the things I'd like to upgrade.

One option from the LED store was plastic covers to protect the strips. I am just going to use clear packaging tape that can be replaced when its gets clouded up. We have used Led strips before but they got damaged by a guest user.

Thanks. I'll have to see if I can get crafty. Even my glass viewing window gets hammered after a while.

Are you using plastic protective shields, available from Harbor freight and Eastwood.

Unfortunately it was already too late when I found out about them. I have a spare glass panel. When I go to change it out I'll pick up some of those protective shields.

When we started on the building 27 months ago we were dedicating the front room to parts storage. Not long after we started reos we were considering configuration for additional car staorage. The east front room had unrestricted access to the street and the though of converting it into a single car storage, and still room for parts was hatched. It was not a priority two years ago but put on the too do list. This past March we agreed that May would be a good time to get this done.
The plan was to demo the old wall and build a new one with an opening for a car.
Here is what we started with:


Friday May 18th, construct a temporary support wall.



8: AM Saturday May 19,the man door gets opened for the first time in xx years.



The demo begins





Thats Mike J doing the demo, he has been assisting us on many occasions. He is good at demo. Picks stuff apart in small chunks.

By noon we had a cleared opening to start the new construction.

By 2:00 PM we had started the stick build, after 4 trips to Home Depot (less than a mile away) to get the right materials.

Like everything else on this building project we over build, level and plum.
If 2x6's are called for we used 2x8.
If 3 boards on the header are called for we use 4.
Header gets screwed,glued and power nailed ,with Lloyd emptying the chamber several times. The way he works that power nailer I swear he wants to be an artillery gunner.
The level on top of the header is picture perfect, given the age of the building this was a major accomplishment.



By 5:30 Saturday we were framed!!



Time for a meal, tidy up tools, go home and feed the dog.
