This is it exactly. I can be knelt down, bump the lift up closer to the vehicle, making sure the pads are exactly where I want and even. I can then raise the vehicle a bit and make sure all looks well. After a safety wiggle the remote is unnecessary I suppose. Once again, I never plan to be...

Pretty much... I was just going to let this die, but hate to not respond. It's only going up. I have a safety catch on each side that must be released and then a manual lever to lower the lift. I like to be able to move around while the lift is going up- out from under the damn thing but able...

I have lurked here for years, don’t post much because most of what i do is well beneath the masses here. Today’s Project worked out pretty awesome. I recently bought a used two post lift. When I’ve used them in the past there was a lot of walking back and forth to the control button. I saw guys...

Thanks everyone. I am leaning back toward making a stand for the port a band. That's all I really need for now.

Thinking about ordering a horizontal/vertical bandsaw. Tough to beat for about $200 with coupon. Really tired of the port-a-band. Any reviews? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

3/4 plywood with a rounded routered edge. Seal that and top with thin stainless set about a half inch back from the front edge. I may double up the plywood, or just make it look that way. If you have ever eaten at Which Wich sandwich shop, that is what their tables are topped with at least...

I just painted some salvaged kitchen cabinets with gloss black rust oleum. I like the dark color myself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Forgive the junk. They had just finished. Left side isn't cut out much that's 18" from the side. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went 30" between doors, and it wound up being less than I expected. Glad the sales guy suggested it. 12x12 doors, so they make it look even smaller.

I want to hang two fans in my workshop. The peak of the frame is about 18' up so I would like a 6-7 foot downrod. The longest one at Home Depot was about 4 feet, and at $20 that isn't going to work. 3/4 emt is slightly larger than the opening in the ball hanger but the downrod packages state...

Thanks, that was my concern. As mentioned above a disconnect would work, I was just hoping for something smaller. Worst case I can just walk to the compressor.

The wiring is not ran, I want to add a shut off within the wiring I run. Panel is right at the door. The distance isnt a huge deal, I can walk over and turn it off, I am just trying to think of all options. I'm setting it up, only want to do it once, and want it very useful. I turn the...

http://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-30-Amp-Industrial-Double-Pole-Switch-White-R62-03032-2WS/100356941 Is it really that simple?

I am setting up/wiring my new shop. The air compressor will be in the back corner, basically as far away from the entry door as possible. This gets it out of the way and should help with some noise. 220volt 5 HP. What kind of switch could I mount by the entry door to control the compressor...
