Upgrading My Workshop Floor // The Ultimate Garage Flooring

In this video I upgrade my workshop floor to what I believe is the ultimate garage flooring product.

A couple of years ago, I laid rubber matting on the floor to help with aches, pains and fatigue in my feet and legs caused by standing up all day on the hard concrete floor. It was an improvement, but the old adage of "buy cheap, buy twice" is pretty true in this instance.

Guitar Bridge Repair

Building A Bed With Reclaimed Wood
