Re: Radio in Poll barn Thanks Fellows !!

Have just built a Poll barn and after placing my radio in to hear some"Tunes" while I work I find that the metal wall kills some of the sound.Any idea how I can fix this problem? Maybe a longer antenna or run the antenna outside? Thanks so much.

I started a thread on the "Hokey *** Message board" about 2 years ago. The thread was about Homemade tooling for as shop press. I found it very helpful and had lots of pictures, Hope this helps some. The site is also called "The jalopy journal" and at that site search "Homade shop press...

I have had "orange" press for about 3years now. Have never had a problem. if you like "silver" just buy a can of silver paint !!! LOL

Mark, the hoist from Northern tool is a better buy. I looked at both and the Northern tool hoist seemed to be of better constructed.It was a little bit more then the HF.

Thanks so much Pattenp !!

Thanks Pattenup. I just checked my hoist and found it to be the Item#14230 which is the 1 3/4 model. Can you please give me some brands or model numbers?I'm not electrical savy !!! LOL Northern tools site states in carries 8 amps for the controls it that means anything.A picture sure would help...

Thanks so much fellow !!

Sorry, It is Item#14226 on the Northern tool site.I know they say I think that there is no extension available for that Item.

Good morning folks. I have a Northern Tool 440 lbs 3/4 hp Electric hoist. I would like to extend the cord to the remote control about 16 feet. Has anyone ever done this? If so what is needed and what is the process? Found on the net some fellows say to go to a larger wire and you can add quick...

very nice job fellow !!!!

I've had a "Magnabend" brake for over 25 years. When I was in the business (Classic fabrication Inc)of making custom auto parts this thing paid for itself in about 30 days. Have never had a problem with it.Please note that is good for 18ga and under only.

One more time !!!

Sorry lets try that again !!!!

Another shot
