If not the same trench, how far apart do they need to be? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I'm looking at getting shipping containers. As for zoning. I'm going the forgiveness is better than permission route. The more i ralk to my city officials, the less competent I think they are. Shipping containers can handle about 200#/sqft distributed load on their roofs. Seal it really well...

You don't get to say this often to a guy... Nice Box!!!

Thanks all, just snagged a Dayton off ebay for $26. More to follow when it gets here. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Wow, you guys rock. Thanks for the response. Lots of reading to do. all the drum switch stuff I looked at did not appear to have any spst or spdt capability. And of course searching the interwebs for what my mechanical engineering brain thinks it should be called was not very fruitful...

I am trying to set my lathe up with the ability to reverse the electric motor. The motor is an AO Smith aka Century electric Split phase 110V motor that has provisions to reverse directions by swapping two wires. Here's a link to the catalog page. I have been all over the Century website...

Vintage Model 10F Atlas lathe (pre 1958) in great working condition. Babbitt bearing headstock in very good condition, carriage in very good condition, manual carriage feed handle needs re-bushing to be excellent. Cross feed lead screw has some slop. Gears, carriage, countershaft etc all in very...

I dont know much about Ranch Hand bumpers but they look pretty beefy. I guess the only thing id be concerned about is not the bumper, but the frame horns that the bumper bolts to. My receiver bolts to the frame using 4 of the 6 tow hook bolts, directly to the frame. The stock bumper bolts to...

Figured I'd toss up some pics of the hitch I built for the front of my 02 2500HD. I have some tight space to maneuver in my backyard back where I store the car and horse trailers, this has been awesome to use in maneuvering stuff around the yard. The receiver piece I bought from the local tool...

Thanks for the feedback on the redo. Amazing what a foam roller and a can of Rustoleum can do. I spent a little while bending up two more handles to fit and I fuddled with the rollers and glides to make it require a little more force to crack the drawers open.. I think I will skip the cabinet...

I picked up a 480mm "Euro" drawer pull from Lowes to see if it would fit. The spacing was about 1/2" too wide so I put a bend in the middle of the pull to make the legs come together a bit..worked like a charm especially since the holes go into the radius of the drawer pans. Oh and Lista pics...

Thanks everybody. I have been looking at vintage office furniture as well, but no dice so far. It has some holes punched in the top, so I was thinking under-bench or under desk mount as well. The square holes for the drawer glides look like my Lista too. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
