Well, my Mr Cool is giving a bit of issues. It didnt really want to turn back on this summer (it comes on and off at time) but I found that the larger line on the condenser seems to be freezing up. Couple people told me its probably a little low on coolant. While I was out there the loop of...

When I moved my equipment, I used a pallet jack. The surface grinder was 5000lbs. I suggest finding a way to lift it up enough to build a DIY pallet with some 4x4s under it and screw them together with some 2x4s. Use a pallet jack or two.

Thanks for the suggestions... DG - The PVC strips was my original thought from working in a grocery store many years ago. Monza Harry - Barn Door was my next thought. I have one side of the wall that could slide a whole door. Gotham - we end up going back and forth a couple times a day. We...

My shop has 2 sections to it...the work space, and the place where I park my truck and has a storage lift. There is a 10x10 or so space between the two sections I want to put a divider in so I can keep the work space well air conditioned. Opening the big door to get the truck in and out is...

Very nice roller!

Id run 80-125cf. The price difference between bottles isnt much and refill is much cheaper per CF when refilling bigger bottles.

There was a thread started a couple weeks ago about the same topic. A few of us have built them. Check out Jeremy Schmidt's plans.

Its a cheap Chinese one from Amazon. I dont remember the name. It was about $100

My local steel supplier (Discount Steel) has some 3' ramps for $65 each

I'll play...I bought this for $300...then refinished it and fixed a few small things. Added a DRO and VFD

Just make sure you know they wont give you any type of plans. They are going to drop off some lumber and how you frame it is up to you. If you can find you some helpers to do this on the side, you will appreciate it later. I was framing my building myself and we had some family friends that...

Im just going to throw this out there...While I do suggest Mueller, they are usually more expensive than other companies. Get their contractor list and talk to them. THey may source your building from somewhere else.
