Yea, it was a consideration at one point, but it ended up getting gate hinges like seen.
Couldn’t justify the cost for a good set of heavy-duty outdoor rated hidden hinges.

I have a clone of this door under our deck:

I’m trying to add the bottom trim piece, but I wasn’t sure if there’s...
I’m considering building a Platform/Drip Tray to hold a 100-150lb block of ice.
I’d like to keep things simple, but I’d also like it to stand up to a few years of use.
It doesn’t need to be...
I was looking at the M12 fuel myself:only because it’s one-handed…. But I also have my eyes set on the Makita battery powered one (not brushless), as it’s on sale currently… and has a larger opening...
Honestly: I think 75% of it will be quick metal cuts that I currently do with a grinder: cutting bolts down to size, cutting down metal brackets, cutting Hanging Rods for clothes.
25% might be...
I’m tempted to purchase a band saw: Space is limited in my shop, so I’m interested in the portable band saws on the market, and perhaps adding a “portable band saw bench” to it.
The 9-10” bench...
I found a stainless steel piano hinge: granted it was from Amazon…. Hopefully it actually is stainless.
This is more of a hardware question: but I built an outdoor TV cabinet with a hinged cover.
I’m curious what solutions there are to weatherproof the piano hinge holding the cover on? It doesn’t...
Alright... sounds like I should keep the wood bare for now... and then I can paint down the road
I get the feeling I’ll be moving things around quite a bit as I get settled: so I’d rather not put...
I’m a fan of Arm-R-Seal: but it does take quite a while between coats. Maybe if I have some leftover cans, I’ll just use that..
That was the thought... or I may just leave it natural? If I...
I hung some plywood walls in my shed/shop: figured that I could place a screw wherever I want to hang tools...
I’m on the fence about finishing them though? I’m just not sure I want to put the...
I’m just now seeing that you can braze aluminum relatively easily too: Thoughts on securing corners with rivets, and then Brazing the joints after?
Ah, so plain borax might do the trick? Mix it up with some water in a pump sprayer and go to town?
I’ve been pondering ways to make a relatively lightweight lift-up awning/cover for a TV cabinet.
One idea I had was possibly building an aluminum L-channel frame, and securing 1/4 PVC board to it...
I have some 2x8’s leftover from construction of my shop. My thought was to rip them down and use them to make benches.
But, being out under a tarp, they seem to have some mildew/mold stains on...
Looking further into it: tambor won't be an option this time around: it would increase the enclosure size rather significantly.
Another issue is the proximity to a window that the TV cabinet...
Not a bad idea: just need to find one that isn’t too expensive!
I caved: ended up buying mineral wool for the walls. I’m using MemBrain from certainteed for the vapor barrier: is that what you’re referring to when it comes to permeable membranes?
Looking to build an outdoor TV cabinet, about 65x40”. My thought is to remove vinyl siding from my home, mount the box, cover it with PVC trim board to make it a piece of the wall.
Ideally I’d...
I was looking at mounting an indoor TV outside... I see a few expensive options out there, but I’m curious if I can make something at a lower cost. (The height of the TV would make one of the...
I was literally reading up on Vapor Barriers when you replied.
Spray foam is likely out of the question anyways. We installed it in our basement, and like you mentioned: had to rework some...
Cellulose is very interesting to me: it’s only blown in after the fact, right?
If that were the case: I wouldn’t need to think about insulating now, and could just do it down the road when time...
I didn’t even consider it... but the slab isn’t even insulated... Not sure how that affects this decision?
My thoughts with foam is that it wouldn’t be nice place to nest, and still lets me take the plywood off the walls to access the cavities if I want to run new wire down the road.
Cellulose seems...
I suppose one of the other considerations here is Pests: We have plenty of Field Mice... and they've infested my shed (the reason we built the new workshop).
Fiberglass is out of the question....
