    Drawer slides are rated to 500 pounds and are in the double slide configuration. I’m 240 and I notice about a 1/16th flex but nothing that worries me.

    Yes I plan on using the Victron Quattro 24V 3000 Inventer/Charger, smartsolar MPPT 250/100, and Victron’s Color Control GX monitor. I’m also looking at SolarWorld SWA 350 XL mono panels that I will hide in my exoskeleton rollcage. The “build through” is unresolved currently until I get the box...

    I have worked with tongue and groove over the years, mostly pine. Your right that it has many great uses, I think your idea of flooring is brilliant.

    Trinity said “Thank You” she wants to be on TV and Weather would be cool. But she says she looks outside everyday and she knows if it’s sunny or raining. She doesn’t know why people need some other person to tell them about the weather when they can just open the door and look out themselves.

    I was going to use a Danish Oil and wet sand it to 220 to bring the ghost figure out of the oak, then lacquer it. But I’m not a expert by any means. It’s been years since I have worked on a wood/furniture project, any advice is always appreciated.

    Funny that you mentioned Corian, I owned two different Corian countertop businesses for ten years. One in San Juan Capistrano, Ca the other in Durango, Colorado. Wife and I are burned out on Corian, Granite, and with all the metal framing we felt that stainless would feel to industrial cold...

    It was a toss up for me between the MP 210 vs the Multimatic 200. I guess what sold me is I met a high end welder on our trip that welds some of the most complex visual welds I have ever seen.
