While it may be very appealing visually, I am concerned about it's
practicality. Certainly it is NOT the type of surface which you would want
to be carrying out any welding work near.
Although, I believe the second floor of Ragtops and Roadsters (local content
for Allen!) has hardwood floors, but the floor is used for storage of
vehicles / parts and activities which aren't "caustic" to the life of the
floor (i.e.. no welding).
The other issue with hardwood floors is that I'm sure, no matter how thick
the urethane stain or surfacer is that you'll get a lot of stains from spilt
oil, parts washing solution, hydraulic fluid (especially)!
Thanks to all that chimed in with feedback, I haven't decided what to do
yet... still planning the dream workshop in my brain.
