This is awesome and well done. I'm going to be doing a pit in the next few years. Converting what was first a enclosed arena into a shop so I definitely see parallels in my project to yours. Thinking that my 2nd 'work stall' will be the one with the service pit. The way my building and property...

I love my Hougen with the annular cutter setup for doing truck work.

I spent a pretty penny on an Associated charger and haven't been too impressed. The thing will kick out on high charge or jump mode. I'm not sure if it's defective or made that way, but dropping 6-700 on the pass down to your grandkids charger that starts acting up in a couple of years was...

Snap On Hard Handles are the only screwdrivers worth having in my book.

Aw they're not that bad. Had mine in a temporary spot for this winter beings that I haven't got my Shome to the point where I can live in it. Was plowing snow and found it and threw it around like it was nothing. Helps when you are plowing with a 950 though! All these posts about fire pits are...

To me nothing makes a better fire pit than a old crusher cone or liner.

After getting some seriously absurd sounding quotes for a single door for my shop, I got on this here internet and did some looking around. These guys seem pretty reasonable for the door I'm after, was just wondering if anyone in the forum had used them, out of fears they are too good to be...

I agree. If you're afraid your garage is going to look like it's floating your attached house is floating too. I'd just do whatever you are going to do for your house.

Man, After working in the shop I'm in now for since I was about 8 years old with nothing but a little 2' by 3' window to open, having adequate ventilation I probably wouldn't know what to do!

How does one go about buying a special colored hammer from you guys?

If it's the normal standard angle wrench set that I have, yes it is made my Snap On and is a good set.

Repaired a cracked torque arm mount on a Kenworth with Chalmers suspension. Looked like the previous owner had someone weld it up before who wasn't much of a welder!

As far as shop cranes go, I had not at all thought of this. Currently jobs I need to use a crane for I just use my skid steer for, and due to current shop size these must be done outside, hopefully in the summer months! Converting a pre-existing building into a shop, as nice as one would be, I...

For heating concerns, I do like the idea of a waste oil heater, and am by no means above installing one in the future, however at this point I don't generate enough to heat myself in the winter, let alone heat the size of a shop I am getting myself into. In my last post I stated that due to the...
