Hey guys I’d love some input on placement of my hoist. I have 2 columns to support the ceiling/living quarters above to deal with. As well, a ~14x12 mezzanine will be at the very back on the right side. Left side will be a small wash bay/detailing area. Now, I can move the posts apart to fit...

Ahhh the Altoworks RSR. I had owned one of these breifly about 6 or 7 years ago and loved it but sold it to help put down a larger down payment on my Tacoma. The gf always wanted to try drive it but didn't get the chance before it sold. Then we got married years later and went to Japan for our...

I'm actually in Calgary as well haha. I did get the ceiling blown in already just before winter hit. What a difference it made. It was toasty in there all winter. I appreciate your offer though, wish I could have given your contact the work. Especially right now with so many people out of work.

Thank you sir, I try my best.

Re: The •403Garage• It's been awhile, time for a project dump of everything I've built in the garage since my last post. I haven't moved forward on the drywall just yet because I wanted windows, and I wanted to do those when it's at least above 10C outside. First up was my drill press I got...

Thanks, I could have built it a bit lighter...but I scored a chunk of frame off a friend's body dropped (or channeled for the older folks) S10 that he never finished. Basically he chopped the frame horns off and welded 3x3 1/4" wall to those, I just wanted the rear part. He only wanted $40 and...

I agree, large scale projects are way tougher in a small space. Ideally once the garage is finished I can get a start on the chassis. I should be able to fit the three cars and the table/chassis and have only 1 car parked outside. That shop you posted makes me want to start another bike project...

So I decided that the only storage in this garage/shop would be covered. No open shelves, nothing hanging on the walls. I wanted it to be clean and tidy. So this mess had to be fixed. At first I thought the shelf would be great but in reality its just an eye sore, so it got punted to the shed...

I agree they look very close, I will have to order some and see. Thanks for the help everyone

Outside edge to outside edge is 1.5cm or 0.59"

There is not unfortunately, I think I may have found a match at the link above though, but I will try Lowe's first. I thought maybe there was a name for this specific style or something. Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks! Had to slog through the boring stuff (electrical, insulation, heat) but it's starting to get fun now.

I made some ugly cabinets pretty. Then had to test fit them and got carried away. These all have to come down in a few weeks for drywall but I like the layout a lot more. I have a third cabinet to hang on the opposite wall.

So I picked these steel cabinets up a couple years ago and they didn't come with any shelves. I can make the shelf but I am missing the little pegs that go in the walls of the cabinet though. Can anyone point me in the direction of where I could find these or what style they call them? Best...

Wow, time for an update. Been a little busy, since my last update I've: Gotten married, went to Japan twice, Houston twice, Denver once. I managed to get a few things done though so I'll highlight those briefly. Frame Table Total cost of materials: $160 (Castors and a couple cutting discs)...
