Jesus dude...I didn't realize he was a professional! Thanks for your bombastic input...now the rest of us know how to look professional.

That's what I was thinking. They might not have had one handy, so they made do.

Honestly this is not a good example of how you should be using foam drawers anyway. I wouldn't be punching a bunch of holes in foam to hold sockets. Just get a socket rail or other container. I would make wooden block with a bunch of holes drilled into it to hold the sockets if I wanted to DIY it. That way you can take them all out over to a job in the house or something. It also gives you way more flexibility for rearranging things. Plus not all socket brands are the same size, so really this foam is only useful for this exact socket set. Whereas a rail can take any socket. Foam is better suited to larger items. Just like it would be silly to put all your screwdriver tips in foam like this instead of having them in a case or little tray of some kind.

As far as I know, coatings still need a rough surface to adhere properly. Etching would be an alternative in your case due to the new concrete. If you want the aggregate to show like on my floor you'd need to grind.

Thanks, to my knowledge they're similar but not the same.

Hi, it's about 400sqf. I'm not sure offhand, but I think I put the amount I used in the video. Thanks for watching!

Can you not read or did you not watch the video?

Hey Doing it Yourself I have a question. Is that machine a regular scrubbing machine with diamond grinding blade put on it and if so where can I get those blades put on my floor machine?

That was one of the first things I tried, unfortunately it didn't get hot enough. Thanks for watching!

In my experience, yes. Cement and aggregate are the two basic ingredients of concrete. For simple non structural projects like these it's fine. If I didn't have the fibrous admix I would have just left it out.

I did this to my tool box at work. Too much money it tools and this system makes sure nothing gets misplaced at the end of the day. Reconfiguring your tool box is one option when you get new tools or you just buy a bigger box 😁. Either way, I always recommend that my apprentices do this once they start investing more money into their tools

You could make smaller, modular foam cutouts for each set of sockets. Attach a sheet magnet to the bottom and you'd have a pretty neat way of organising sockets neatly. Many of the solutions for socket storage work, but look fussy/busy .

@@js14a I love your idea. Best I’ve heard. Let me make sure I have understood it correctly. Rather than one large foam sheet per drawer, get smaller sheets for sections within the drawer. This way, the addition or change of one tool does not require re-creating the entire sheet. Thats worthy of a patent. 👍

You're welcome! Good luck with your project!

Thanks for the kind words!

You're welcome! If I remember correctly, the 7" disc is for a grinder and is for small areas. You definitely want the full size disc made for the floor polisher. Also, you can use them with water but it's not necessary from my understanding. Water will keep it cooler and make it last longer so they're probably just trying to make more money from each disc before it wears out. I personally think cleanup is easier if you do it dry. Oil stain removers work horribly on old stains. I tried at least 10 different ones, wet, dry, homemade etc. I'd recommend just using a reputable brand and wash it a couple of times, scrub it in and rinse really well. I still had heavy stains before grinding, but the grinding process got rid of them.

@@doingityourself1336 Right on. Thank you!

Oven cleaner works with oil stains. Spray a liberal amount of oven cleaner on the stain. Let it dwell for 10 minutes. Scrub the area with a stiff bristle brush. Rinse the area. Reapply, dwell, scrub, rinse until satisfied with results.

Thanks!

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

You're right, they were. I swapped it later on. Unfortunately the grinding disc lifts the polisher so high that the shroud is high above the floor and doesn't make a noticeable difference. Good eye though!

Thanks! It definitely took a while to do the whole drawer.

Time consuming but it will save you heaps of time during a job. Definitely worth it
