I personally have not used that type of line, however I can recommend another KZbin channel where you may find the answer to your question and quite a bit more. My online friends, Herby and Maddie, have a channel called "Rigging Doctor" and Herby has made several videos on how to splice and work with Dyneema line. Try @RiggingDoctor on KZbin . His videos on the subject are quite detailed and (in my opinion) worth yaking the time to watch. 👍👍👍

Bravo, I agree. Years ago, I took on old govt surplus 3 drawer file cabinet, 3 drawer like these, except it had a top sized to the cabinet. (The dimensions would have been close to yours). I welded up an angle iron frame to fit the size of the cabinet and installed 4-5" diameter castors to the angle iron. I think i welded them on, 2 swivel with brakes and two fixed. I dropped the cabinet in the angle iron frame, then mounted a grinder on one end, and a bench drill on the other end and used it that way for years. Later, i pulled the grinder and drill off and pushed it under my shop bench and it has been there for storage ever since. Stout as hell, ball bearing drawers and can hold whatever i can fit in them!
@herbholmberg44742 ай бұрын
I tried adding pics, but I don't think it worked. All of the wall cabinets in my shop were salvaged from trash kitchen cabinets. I repainted them all gray and red to match my toolboxes. I salvaged on heavy ball bearing office lateral file cabinet that I also painted red and black. I then had a piece of 1/8" sheet steel with edges bent to roll over the edges with welded corners I secured to the top and attached a 6" vise to the corner of. The cabinet is so heave it is full off big angle grinders, all my electric tools, tap/die sets air tools etc. Hundreds of lbs of tools in the drawers, 6" vise mounted to the corner, 3 drawer mid box, and large mechanic top chest also set on top of this old office lateral file full of mechanic tools! Between what is in the drawers, and what is on top, likely most of if not more than a half ton of tools and equipment. You have it right. Most of my shop storage for tools and equipment was pulled from the trash of others or bought dirt cheap, repainted, and repurposed. All of my original bench tops were cast off desk tops from office supply stores. Later every bench in my shop was covered with steel plate. My metal lathe bench was covered with stainless steel sheet. No visitor in my shop would ever likely guess that most of the storage for tools and equipment came from other people's cast offs!

Hey Paul! Looking good. There's always so much more work to things than expected. Happy your little kitchens were a hit. Heating units seemed to have improved a lot over the last few years.

Thanks, Marty! We have a heat pump in our home. Had it installed about a year and a half ago. It's a new generation heat pump that works well in Maine winters unlike the old ones. The bonus is it also works as an air conditioner when it gets wicked hot (above 70 degrees). 👍👍👍

Greetings, Marty! The step design was based on what I had kicking around without having to buy more material. That's my usual approach as I tend to be frugal. BTW - we had a sister storm just a few days later with more flooding and high winds, but it wasn't quite as bad as the one that wiped out all the wharves.
