Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46)

Another fine repair under your belt. Pretty soon you'll be the expert, giving out the sage advice. I am so envious of your shop. I'm in the middle of changing the head gasket on my wife's Honda Fit. Messing around with jack stands, and crawling around on the cold concrete ****. My knees and back can only take so much. On the bright side, the head is back from the machine shop and the gaskets and bolts just arrived today. Guess I know what I'll be doing for the next few days.

I used a spark plug socket and a 3-inch extension to remove all the spark plugs on the driver's side. I applied some anti-seize to the threads and then started threading the new spark plugs into position by hand. I really couldn't see where the plug needed to go but I managed to get the plug into position without trouble. I got the plug somewhat tight with a ratchet wrench and then used a torque wrench to do the final tightening. The torque specification called for 8 to 14 foot-pounds of torque. I set my torque wrench to 132 inch-pounds (11 foot-pounds)






I put some dielectric grease into the boots of the spark plug wires and attached them to the ignition coil and the spark plugs.






With the drivers side complete, I removed all the wires from the passenger's side.






I thought the pipe just outside the spark plugs (white arrow) would interfere with removing the plugs on the passenger's side. I did not find it to be an issue. I used two 3-inch extensions on all the plugs on this side. Installation of the plugs on this side was performed as I had done on the driver's side.






So the project was complete and I took this picture. I had started the engine a few times during this process to ensure I had gotten a particular wire hooked up correctly. Now I started it again. The engine ran well so I shut it down, came back to the engine compartment, and "tidied up" the wires a bit.






Old parts. I examined everything but I did not see anything that - to my eye - looked like it was causing trouble.

I took the truck for a road test and tried to mimic conditions that had caused the occasional missing (lower rpm's under some load). The truck ran fine.

Time will tell if this fixes my intermittent missing but I'm optimistic that this maintenance will do so.

Thanks for the kind words! Good luck with your project and be careful.

LutzTD,

That's amazing! I had pretty much a mental picture of that thing when I was flopping around on my pickup's radiator and fenders.

I looked at the reviews on Northern Tool for that rascal and everyone of them was positive.

Friday - January 20, 2017

A week ago today I was sitting in my house trying to decide what to work on in the LBG when the phone rang. It was Pilot Scheduling and, to my surprise since we had a bunch of pilots available to go flying, they wanted me to get to the airport as soon as possible to cover a 6-day trip. So I ran around my house with my hair on fire, packing for layovers in cold places (Frankfurt-Germany, Detroit, Frankfurt [again]). 4 ocean crossings in 6 days is not my idea of a good time but that's a part of the job. I got back Wednesday evening.

The good news is that, on the 30-minute trip to and from the Atlanta airport, I got to evaluate the recent repair to the Ford F150. I'm pleased to report that the truck seems to be running stronger than before the repair and I detected no hesitation or missing either coming from or going to the airport.

Yesterday was spent getting caught up with "stuff" that happened while I was away for almost a week. I did get my son's car into the middle bay and on the Two-Post Lift. Having the Lift really speeds up rotating tires.


Today I attended an Estate Sale about 25 miles away. I had seen this one listed last week and was a bit annoyed I had to work and - I thought - miss it. As it turned out they had an encore this weekend and they might do it again next weekend. This guy had an incredible accumulation of tools and stuff.

I expect most of the "good stuff" was purchased last weekend. Today I picked up a set of Wiss Aviation Snips, a couple of fine tooth ratchets (1/2 inch SK 42470 & 3/8 inch Craftsman 43781), a couple of snips, a Blackhawk 3/4 inch - 7/8 inch Flare Wrench for $10. I also got about 4-1/4 square feet of 1/2 inch plate for $20. A couple of other treasures were also carried away from the property.






The Snips all needed some TLC as they were a bit rusty. Some time on the wire wheel and they looked a lot better. Still need a bit more work on the fine details but that shouldn't take long.






At about 7 pm this evening UPS delivered a couple of Radiator Hoses & a hose clamp for the F150. I noticed I'm leaking a little coolant and I believe it's a hose problem and not the water pump.

We'll see if that diagnosis holds up when I start replacing the hoses.

Saturday - January 21, 2017

As I went to bed last night, it was raining. It was raining this morning and the local TV stations were all indicating we should brace ourselves for the heavy weather that would be arriving soon.

So rather than get involved in any projects, I milled about smartly in the house as I kept an eye on the weather. We endured some very heavy rain and some gusting winds but it wasn't too bad at my house. At about noon, after things seemed to have calmed down, we lost power.

Phooey. I still can't do anything in the LBG. The power was out for about 2 hours. With power restored, I pulled the truck into the center bay so it could dry off a bit. I planned to check for coolant leaks later.

Now I turned my attention to the Electric Chain Hoist. The User's Manual indicated the chain should be lubricated periodically with 90 weight gear oil. I suspected it had been a long time since that had happened.






I haven't been able to find straight 90 weight gear oil so I used this.






After running the Electric Chain Hoist's chain as far out as it would go, I dribbled some gear oil on a rag and applied oil to the chain as I ran it back up into the Chain Hoist.






I then moved the scaffolding to the opposite side of the bay and, using a 3/4-inch open ended wrench, I tightened the Trolley Cable to remove a bit of slack that appeared after the Trolleys were installed.






I swapped the positions of the Electric Chain Hoist and the Scaffolding. Using a Bolt Cutter I trimmed the excess length of the Trolley Cable.






I ran the chain up and down a few times to try and get gear oil on all the moving parts.

I think that completes the installation of the Electric Chain Hoist's Festoon Cable system.

I now turned my attention to the F150's Radiator Hose. This is what I've been seeing. A very small leak from where the lower hose meets the Water Pump. I'm going to try and get some better light on the subject tomorrow and try to ensure that the Water Pump isn't cracked.

I don't want to get started on a "Radiator Hose" project and then find out I have a "Water Pump" project.

1/2 Cup,

Thanks for dropping by!

Europe and Michigan in the wintertime usually mean de-icing events and this trip's weather certainly was favorable for that sort of thing. I thought sure we'd have to do the de-icing drill at Detroit as it was just above freezing and a light rain was falling. Introduce that setup to a cold-soaked airplane that has just landed after several hours cruising at 34,000 feet and ice formation on the aircraft should be expected. However, I got lucky and no ice or snow was on the airplane during any of the pre-flights or prior to the takeoffs. That helped make the 6-day trip go faster.

The truck's original pump was replaced about 10 years ago. I recall that failure as being more dramatic - I had the vehicle towed to a repair shop. So I'm hopeful that this little dribble of fluid indicates something more benign.

We shall see.

Best regards,

Scott

Tuesday - January 24, 2017


It has taken a while but it looks like the stars are going to align tomorrow to get the Unisaw moved from the basement to the Lone Beech Garage's Woodshop.

I am on call tomorrow but it is a "long callout" situation (12 hours notice) vs. the more common "short callout" (2 hours notice); my son is available; the weather forecast is good.






The Unisaw has been in this location in the basement for about 12 years. My son had a late class tonight so I had to wait until pretty late to start breaking it down. I needed him to help with moving the tables away from the saw.






First task was to remove the outfeed table. 4 small carriage bolts held the outfeed table onto a bracket. My son helped me move the outfeed table to where it could rest on a sawhorse.






I then removed the Biesemeyer saw fence. While all the other fasteners were imperial system, the little bolts that fastened this item to the saw were metric. Go figure.






Only 4 fasteners held the rail that supported the saw's side table. Again, my son helped me move this table away from the saw and over to where it could be supported by a sawhorse.



I hope to get this tool moved into the Woodshop tomorrow.

Agreed. I ordered the outfeed table a couple of years after I got the saw. It makes working with sheet goods a much safer operation.

I look forward to having it set up in the new woodshop.

A beautiful sunny day in Peachtree City, GA - time to move some equipment!






My son and I got the Unisaw off the floor of the basement with the Shop Crane and out the basement garage door to the trailer.






With the saw on the trailer we started across the backyard for the Lone Beech Garage.

We had to move the tractors outside to access the Electric Chain Hoist.






Once we had a clear bay, we moved the trailer underneath the Electric Chain Hoist and lifted the saw. With the saw suspended between heaven and earth, the trailer was driven out the other end of the drive-through bay.






The Unisaw was placed on a dolly and walked into the Woodshop.


I could have gotten it all set up in the Woodshop but, with my son available and the weather cooperating, we decided to move another stationary tool out of the basement and into the LBG.

The Mill/Drill is another awkward machine that is better moved by two people.






With all the handles and such protruding from this machine, it didn't seem wise to try to use the Shop Crane to lift it. I was pretty sure that the rigging would damage something.






The decision was made to move the Mill/Drill with a newly acquired Appliance Dolly.






My son provided the muscle to get the Mill/Drill out of the basement. Using some ramps he got the Appliance Dolly, and its load, onto the trailer. We secured the Appliance Dolly - Mill/Drill to the trailer with ratchet straps.

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46)

The Mill/Drill followed basically the same path the Unisaw took to the LBG. Despite urging from my son, we didn't use the Electric Chain Hoist to unload the Appliance Dolly - Mill/Drill.






My son maneuvered the Appliance Dolly to a position near the spot the Mill/Drill will be living in the future.






All the pieces that had been removed from the Mill/Drill for the transit were reinstalled. It's great to have the Mill/Drill in its new home!


That's all we did this afternoon. We'll pick up where we left off tomorrow.

My son was available again today to move more equipment from the basement to the Lone Beech Garage. We lowered the Unisaw into what should be its final position and then, after walking the tables to the LBG, attached the tables to the saw.






Brought the Woodworker's Bench, an oscillating sander and a belt/disc sander from the basement to the LBG. The Woodworker's Bench was a Craigslist acquisition and I hope to replace it, some day, by building an upgraded version.





The use of a SketchUp model early in the design process allowed a fairly efficient positioning of these items in the Woodshop.

Of course all the cabinets and such that I've acquired over the past year needed to be moved somewhere else.

The steel Barristers Bookcase was taken to the Mezzanine. The cabinets that had been stored in the Woodshop were loaded onto the pickup.

FedEx delivered some Arm Restraint Gears from BendPak today. When I received the replacement arms to allow me to lift my F150 properly, there were bolts but no gears. I had recently sent an email to BendPak asking if gears were supposed to have been included. They apologized for the oversight and sent the gears immediately.

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46)

I see you have an fold up engine hoist. What do you think of it? Worth the cash? I have a fairly significant logistical problem depending on what item I drag home depending on overall weight and how far something can get broken down while still loaded up.

250,

I purchased the engine hoist - load leveler included - from Northern Tool (sale) in 2008. I can't remember what the sale price was but when I called my closest store, to see if they had it in stock, the lady said yes and that it was on sale for $130.99. This was less than the sale price I had seen in the advertisement. I made best possible speed to the 30-mile-away-store. When I got there the gal I talked to on the phone was at the cash register and she asked me if I was the guy who had called about the Engine Lift. When I answered in the affirmative, she indicated she had misspoke but would honor the price I had been quoted on the phone.

The point of all this is that my price point is lower than what would normally be attainable and you asked if I thought it was "worth the cash".

That being said, I have found this tool very useful (well worth the cash!) and I've never lifted an engine with it. As I acquired larger stationary tools since 2008 (and even my BendPak Lift - click the link if you want to see that), I have used the Shop Crane to unload/move-them-around.

The fold up feature is very nice. It takes up some floor space but it is a pretty small footprint. The biggest limitation of the machine is that fact that the legs have to be able to straddle - or be underneath (example: the BendPak Lift) - whatever it is you are lifting.

If you can spare the room and can find one used on Craigslist for a decent price, I'd go for it in a heartbeat.

Best regards,

Scott

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46)

I use my shop crane for all kinds of lifting jobs. For occasional use you definitely want one with the fold up legs. Here is a link to a thread I just put up showing some simple, inexpensive mods that will help you get the most out of your crane. Now, back to our regular programming.

not a big fan of the Chinese ones. I borrowed one from a friend when my good one was still in Ohio. had a motor & trans hanging at full height to get it over the radiator support and one of the legs bent 2 inches. luckily I was on the opposite side and put a foot on the other leg before it spilled. I scooted it clear and lowered it immediately. that lift never was stable again and I ended up paying my buddy for a new one since I bent his and scrapping it so the next guy didnt get hurt.

Jim & LutzTD,

Mine's a 2-ton and I'm pretty sure it is of Chinese manufacture. I've been surprised at its durability. Not that I've overstressed it but it is my impression that the average Chinese manufacturer, being the low bidder for the contract and perhaps having some moral flexibility, would require constant, close adult supervision to provide a product to specification. I'm really happy that the hydraulic ram hasn't leaked a drop.

I'm sure extending a 1-ton crane's arm to the 500 pound mark and lifting an engine/transmission would be interesting.

Best regards,

Scott

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46)

Thanks for the info scott. And those are some good ideas bib's. I think what frustrates me on this topic is that to have any reach you end up way down on the lifting capacity. I see those two tonners and the arm length that you get for that is so short why bother. I think if I'm going to chinese, which will probably ultimately happen, I'll go new. People around here want 75-90% of new it seems for some dirty HF special. Might as well know the history for a few more pennies.

I decided after the Chinese lift adventure to bring my lift from Ohio down to my shop here. This unit is solid as a rock and rightfully designed for 2 ton. very stable at height and loaded. doesn't fold, but I think that is a plus in the stability column as the Chinese one that bent did so in the 2 pin area where it was designed to fold. this is an internet picture, I don't have a shot of mine but its the same one. I see them pop up on craigs now and again, I think they sold out of Sams Club originally.

It's Groundhog Day!
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.






When the UniSaw was moved into the LBG's Woodshop, I plugged it into the floor outlet. It powered up fine but that's when I looked more closely at the way the outlet was mounted to the floor. The setup was odd.
The white piece's outside diameter was 4-1/4 inches while the diameter of the area it was supposed to fit into was 3-7/8 inches. The hole in the white piece - for the NEMA 6-20R receptacle - had been filed to get it large enough to accept the 1-3/8 inch diameter of the receptacle.
It was only after I spent considerable time on the internet that I discovered why the Electrician had resorted to such a FrankenOutlet. Unless one want's to spend about 200 bucks, there's doesn't seem to be a way to mount a single NEMA 6-20r receptacle into this floor box.
A duplex 120 Volt receptacle; No Problem! Single 240 Volt receptacle; Problem!
Weird.






I abandoned the flush-to-the-floor approach and started looking at Pedestal fixtures. I found a couple of these very pricy Hubbell SA6686 fixtures on eBay for $15 plus shipping. Sold!
These boxes' bases are threaded to receive a 1-inch ******.






I found several places to get a the Hubbell PFBP1 floor plates but eBay once again offered the best price point. This floor plate is also threaded for a 1-inch ******. The rest of the items to complete this project were obtained today at a big box store.






I mocked up the pieces to make sure they would all play nice together.






Then I assembled the components and wired the receptacle. I think I will be much happier with this setup than what was originally installed. Keeping a floor-mounted-upward-facing receptacle free of sawdust and dirt probably would have been difficult. The pedestal box setup is almost certainly a superior solution for the UniSaw.

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46)

Scott,

You may not run into issues with yours, but our table saw outlet is currently setup like your new one. It is a terrible tripping hazard and gets run into constantly as we sometimes have to shift the table out of the way for odd-sized projects and such causing it to not be completely under the saw.

If you never need to move the saw, it probably wont be an issue, but we are changing ours out for an in-floor (with a dust cover) setup when we rewire the shop this spring.

Just my personal experience.

Keep up the good work! Love following along.
