Extremely Strong Shower Bench

I've gotten feedback from the community asking me to share my plans, so here it is. If you want to build your own shower bench, this is how you do it. Make sure to ask a thinno for help, this will not be easy to do!

This is an extremely strong shower bench with a 1000+lb capacity. The floor under you will fail before the bench does! This shower bench is designed to remove you from the shower and basically have you sit on the ledge. You will need a couple feet of clearance away from your tub's ledge for it to work.

The top of my tub's ledge is about 1' 3⅜" up from the ground. If yours is taller/shorter by more than ¼" or so, you will need to make some adjustments to measurements down below.

This is a photo of the materials I used to make this build. I got everything I needed at my local hardware store. My build wasn't perfect though. I would suggest you learn from my mistakes and acquire a slightly different material list though:

1x 2'×4' plywood sheet. Get something pre-sanded and rated for outdoor use. I recommend ¾" thick.

2x 8' 2×4s. Most any wood type will work, so get what you like most. I just got some normal 2×4s and made sure they looked pretty. If you don't want to bother with staining or weatherproofing the structure of your bench, get pressure-treated 2×4s.

4x 2' ½"×½" square dowel.

4x Simpson Strong-Tie RTC2Z. Get the black-powder-coated ones if you can.

2x Simpson Strong-Tie LUS24Z. These will be used for the cross beam.

4x Simpson Strong-Tie FB24Z. These will be the feet.

1x Simpson Strong-Drive SD9112R100 #9×1½" 100ct Connector Screws. You won't use the whole box. It comes with a bit.

4x 3" common nails.

32x 1½" common nails.

35x 1" brad/finish nails.

200-220 grit sandpaper.

Oil-based high-gloss polyurethane.

Small dense-foam roller & roller pan.

If you're applying stain, oil stain & staining brush for oil stain.

Liquid rubber. Get something that will provide grip.

Rubber-foam weather stripping. The thicker and wider, the better. I got 20' of 1¼"×7⁄16" and it worked great for me.

4x paper clips, hair ties, or something to hang the feet from.

A plastic tarp, thickness is more important than size.

As for tools, you really only need two things:

Hammer

Drill, ratchet, or socket screwdriver

OPTIONAL: File or knife

I also highly recommend some PPE. Get some cheap/disposable cleaning gloves, a mask of some type, hair ties for your hair, and an old change of clothes.

If you don't have access to a table saw at home, *don't leave the store yet!* You need to cut your wood at the store. Many home improvement stores will cut your lumber for you, either for free or for a low price.

Ask an employee to cut the two 2×4s like this:

2×4 #1: 38", 38", 17"

2×4 #2: 33½", 33½", 13", 13"

NOTE: If your tub ledge was taller/shorter than mine, then for every 1" difference, lengthen/shorten each 33½" cut by TWO inches.

Then ask them to cut two dowels down to 20½", and two down to 24".

You should also ask them to take 6" off the short side of the plywood, so it's 2'×3½' instead of 2'×4'.

You're not ready to leave yet! You need to make two more cuts, and the store employees will not help you with these. Many home improvement stores will have a DIY handsaw table where you can cut moulding down to length. You'll need to use this to make the last two cuts yourself.

You need to make an ANGLED cut into the 33½" boards. Lay the first 33½" board down flat as shown. On the edge closest to you, mark a point 1' 5⅛" away from the left end of the board. Then on the edge farthest from you, mark a point 1' 5¼" away from the same left end of the board. Position your saw across both points, and cut through the board. You may need to roll the board over to finish the cut.

NOTE: If your tub ledge was taller/shorter than mine, then for every 1" of difference, add/remove 1" from the 1' 5⅛" / 1' 5¼" measurements above.

For the second board, *do not measure!* It is more important that the cuts in the boards be identical than it is for any one cut to have exact dimensions. Lay the second board down, then set one of the cut pieces on top so the ends of the two boards are aligned, then use the existing angle in the cut piece to start the cut in the second board.

When you are done, you will have four boards, two slightly taller than the others, with the exact same angle cut in all of them. In the above photo, the boards are resting on their angled ends. These pieces will be your long and short legs.

NOW you can bring everything home.

First, lay down your tarp somewhere. Ideally you'll have access to a 5'×10' flat area outside.

Then you need to sand *everything* (except the big faces of the plywood, and the pressure-treated wood if you went that route). Pay special attention to the corners and cuts in the wood.

Now you need to attach the square dowels to the outside of the plywood board. Choose a face of the board to be the "up" face, the one you'll sit on. Put the 24" dowels on top, right along the short edges. Choose a long edge to be the back, and squeeze the two shorter dowels in along it between the side dowels. Nail everything down with the finish nails.

Next is staining, if you chose to stain. Apply according to the directions on the tin. You will likely have to do multiple coats.

Now the truly hard part, applying polyeurethane. I recommend using the foam roller for this and applying many coats. You can prop up the plywood sheet using the 2×4s if you like so you can get all the way around the edges in one pass. You'll still need to flip it over and do three more passes when done with the top, so you can protect the underside from warping.

While waiting for your polyethylene to dry, you may as well make the rubber feet. Grab your four FB24Zs and tie something through one of the holes in the end. Open your can of liquid rubber and follow the instructions to fully submerge each one before leaving it out to dry. One coat should be enough. Once dry, try to remove excess rubber from the inside using a file or knife.

When everything's had a good long dry (at least a day after final coat), it's time for assembly.

Grab your two 38" boards, your two 13" boards, all four of your legs, and your four RTC2Zs — everything except what's highlighted red in the first photo above. Set the 38" boards down on their narrow side along the long edges of the board, and the 13" boards down on their narrow side along the short edges of the board. Bring them together to form a rectangle, then set the RTC2Zs upside-down on the corners. Each RTC2Z has an L-shaped hole in its bottom; the top/bottom of each L-shaped hole will be filled by the ends of the 38" boards, while the center and left/right of each hole will be filled by the legs. The ends of each 38" board will butt against the wide side of the legs, while the ends of each 13" board will butt against the narrow side of the legs. Now make sure everything is pressed firmly together as you use the Strong-Drive screws to attach the RTC2Zs to the 38" & 13" boards. For each corner, four screws go into the 38" board and two screws go into the 13" board. *DO NOT ATTACH THE LEGS YET!* The legs are just here for spacing right now. Remove the legs when everything is attached.

Grab your 17" board and your LUS24Zs. The 17" board should squeeze in nicely right in the middle, turning your blocky 0 into a blocky 8. Straighten out your LUS24Zs if needed (mine were bowed outwards too much), set them down over the ends of the 17" board, and use 4 screws each to attach them to the sides of the 38" boards. Now grab your long 3" nails and use two on each LUS24Z, installing them at a 45° angle into the remaining holes. They'll nail at an angle into the 17" board and go straight through into the 38" board.

Flip everything over such that the plywood board is now resting good-side-up on top of the mostly-complete frame, with the whole thing resting on the rounded bottoms of the RTC2Zs. Center the frame between the left and right sides of the plywood (should be ½" overhang on each side); let the plywood's back overhang ½" off the back of the frame, and its front overhang 3½" off the front. Now use the 1½" common nails to nail in the plywood into the frame. I used four lines of nails, one for each outer board; measurements are in the second photo above.

OPTIONAL: Apply a final polyurethane coat over the nail heads. This will need a day or two to dry.

Screw the feet into the ends of the legs. See the third photo above for a reference. Try to make the feet as straight and snug as you can get them.

Insert the legs into the holes left from step 1. The short legs go in on the front side, and the long legs go in on the back side. You should have a bench that tilts slightly forward, to allow for water to drain into the tub. Use some sort of material as a spacer as necessary to adjust each leg to level out the bench. Don't be afraid to introduce gaps between the legs and the plywood; the metal connectors are what hold the weight. Once everything is nice and level, use six screws on each leg to attach then to the RTC2Zs.

Apply your rubber-foam stripping. I applied stripping all along the length of my tub's ledge AND along the underside of my bench.

And you're done! Your bench will look different than the photo above, I hadn't yet added the stripping, the wooden dowel siding, or the feet. And perhaps you chose a different stain color, or made your legs out of pressure-treated wood! In any case, this thing is built like a tank (made with actual home framing materials) and shouldn't break easily. I hope it serves you well!

A Simple Guide To Help You Become Familiar With Roller Skates Wheels

If you’re new to skating, then you may be wondering what the differences between wheels are. While there are a lot of types of wheels to choose from, they can all be broken down into hardness ratings and sizes. In this guide, we will explain these concepts and how they affect your best roller skate wheels experience!

Hardness rating

The hardness rating listed on the wheel is a measurement of how much the wheel resists deforming under pressure. The harder the wheel, the faster and longer it will last.

Wheels are typically made from polyurethane, which is an elastic material that can be molded into different shapes by applying pressure during production. When you roll over flat ground at high speeds, your wheels flex slightly under pressure before returning to their original shape once you've passed them over a small bump in the pavement.

A harder wheel has less give than a softer one when rolling over these bumps because it's stiffer; therefore its ability to roll smoothly over uneven surfaces increases with increased hardness in relation to other factors like quality of bearings or frame design (the latter being something we'll discuss later).

Wheel size and placement

Wheel size and placement are important for performance and comfort. The larger the wheel, the faster you will go, but this comes at the expense of maneuverability. Smaller wheels make it easier to turn, but they also have less “traction” (more on that later).

For performance skating, you want to place your wheels close to the toe of your skate so that when you push off with your foot, all of your weight is placed over them. This allows for better stability and acceleration during fast movements such as jumps or speed bursts.

Placing them too far back will cause instability because it puts more weight on either side of the skate as well as slowing down pushing off from them when doing tricks such as power slides or spins which require quick movements by having more friction between skates and ground.

Aesthetic and design

As you can see, there are a lot of things to consider when buying an Impala roller skate. The first and most important step is to know your own preferences and skating style so that you can find the best wheels for your needs. If you're new to roller skating, don't worry about getting too technical—just pick a color you like and start learning how to skate!

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below. If you're looking for a more in-depth guide on how to choose the right roller skates, check out this article here!

Conclusion

With so many different kinds of roller skates adults available, it can be a little overwhelming. The best way to get started is by looking at what your needs are as well as how much money you want to spend on this purchase.

If you aren’t sure where to start, then take some time looking through our guide! We hope that it helps guide you in the right direction towards finding the perfect set of wheels for your needs today!

How to Refurbish Solid Wood Flooring

Hardwood flooring is both beautiful and tough. However, over time it can start to lose its looks as its surface is worn down through wear and tear. Rather than replacing the planks, it is cheaper and easier to simply refurbish them.

If you are looking to give your solid wood flooring a refresh yourself, it will take a decent amount of time and effort. Here, you’ll discover how to refurbish and restore solid wood flooring safely.

Tools & Equipment Required

When taking on a DIY project like this you will need to make sure you have everything you need before starting. There is nothing worse than being in the middle of the job and realising you forgot something important. So things required to restore your wooden floor:

Safety equipment - goggles, gloves & we recommend steel toe cap boots.

Vacuum & brush

Professional electric floor sander

Large & small paint brushes for staining

Wood floor stain (you will need to calculate how many tins you will require)

Roller & paint brush for applying the polyurethane / lacquer

Roller tray (for the lacquer)

Cloth for wiping any excess laquer / oil from the floor.

Sanding Solid Wood Floor Planks Down

If you don’t have a sander already, it’s worth hiring one from a local hardware store. Prior to starting, give the floor a clean to ensure there isn’t any dirt or debris that could get in the way.

Remove all furniture from the room and ensure you have a clear space to work in. Then, attach a heavy grit piece of sandpaper to the sander and begin using it on the planks. Make sure you’re using the sander in the same direction as the wood grain.

After you’ve sanded the entire floor, replace the heavy grit with a lighter grit paper. Again, ensure you are using it in the same direction as the grain.

Staining Solid Wood Flooring

Once the floor has been sanded, you have the option to stain it. You don’t have to do this if you prefer the natural look of the wood. However, if you would like to give it a little colour, you’ll want to start by giving the floor a hoover to remove the debris from the sanding.

Locate a small area of the floor which can be easily covered up if needed, to test the staining. This will ensure you are happy with the colour before you apply it to the main floor.

Follow the directions on the staining product you purchased to stain the entire floor. Then, wait until it dries before finishing the refurbishment.

Finishing The Floor

When you’re ready to finish the floor, you’ll need a roller or a brush. This will help you to apply either a lacquered or oiled finish. You’ll need to give it approximately four hours to dry. For best results, consider adding another layer of oil or lacquer once the first has dried.

Tips To Remember

Refurbishing a solid wood floor does take a lot of time and effort. There are also a few things that can go wrong. So, to ensure you are doing it correctly, it’s a good idea to follow a few tips.

Firstly, you’ll want to ensure you are following the manufacturer instructions oh how to refurbish your solid wood floor if they are provided. Each finish and stain you choose will have its own instructions on how it should be applied and maintained. So, familiarise yourself with the instructions you’ll need to follow.

It’s also possible to give solid wood floors a brand-new look without sanding them down. If there is no damage on the planks, you can simply clean the floor before applying a stain or finish.

As you can see, refurbishing a solid wood floor isn’t as difficult as you might think. The above are the main steps and tips to follow. Solid wood may be time consuming to refurbish, but the process helps it to last a lot longer.

Be sure to cover the entire surface evenly. For edges and corners, use a smaller brush or roller to ensure precise coverage.

Step 4: Allow the Paint to Dry

Let the first coat dry according to the paint manufacturer's instructions. This may take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours, depending on the type of paint and the warehouse environment.

Step 5: Apply a Second Coat

For added durability and a more even finish, apply a second coat of paint. Follow the same process as the first coat and allow it to dry thoroughly.

5. Post-Painting Care

Once the painting is complete, it’s essential to follow these steps to ensure the longevity of the paint job:

Step 1: Curing Time

Give the floor sufficient time to fully cure. Even though the paint may feel dry to the touch, it could take several days for it to harden completely. During this time, avoid placing heavy equipment or machinery on the floor.

Step 2: Regular Maintenance

To keep your painted warehouse floor in top condition, regular cleaning is essential. Sweep and mop the floor to remove dust, dirt, and debris. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and water, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the paint.

Step 3: Inspect for Damage

Periodically inspect the floor for signs of wear or damage. Touch up any worn or scratched areas to prevent further damage and keep the floor looking fresh.

Conclusion

Painting a warehouse floor is a manageable DIY project, provided you take the time to prepare the surface and use the right materials. By following this step-by-step guide, you can transform your warehouse floor, making it more durable, safer, and visually appealing. Whether you're protecting the concrete from wear or simply improving the space’s look, a well-painted floor is a long-term investment in the functionality and safety of your warehouse.

Key Takeaways:

Proper preparation, including cleaning, repairing, and priming the floor, is critical for success.

Choose the right paint, such as epoxy or polyurethane, for durability.

Apply multiple coats, allowing ample drying and curing time for the best results.

Maintain the painted floor through regular cleaning and inspections.
