Bumping it back up! I don't see anyone mention heavy machinery? I will be occasionally moving heavy machinery on casters or dragging when necessary. Milling machines, lathes, industrial equipment, loader buckets etc etc. Anyone have any experience with how it holds up to something like...

I love my packout setup but I also love the rigid tool boxes. In my opinion, the rigid boxes are just as good. I use them each for different things. A bit cheaper and they come with the rigid warranty. They are quality made in israel. They are very sturdy with nice metal latches. They do not...

I am only planning on staying at the current property for another year or so. Afterwards I will be moving cross country. I have a full shop as well as tractor, implements, etc etc. I currently do not have a shed on the property and all equipment is stored in the garage, forcing me to store some...

A few updates. Discovered groundhogs under the slab. We actually saw on win a tree the other day. But does that make them treehogs??? I have a crack going across the slab that sounds empty underneath. Going to drill down and see what's going on under there. Hopefully the hogs haven't done too...

Nice! Looks. Great! Putting a window in the attic wall to look out on the shop floor?

Klein. I have a set of the self adjusting strippers and I'll never go back. PN 11061. Best $20 I've ever spent. My electrician belt always has them, their large cable cutters, and a good needle nose.

I'm in a similar situation in Northern Illinois. I'm planning on concrete for the pad and lined asphalt for the drive. Reasons being: -I can expand the shop onto concrete in the future if I want. Or at least anchor a carport down. -I can resurface the drive easily -I can save a little bit...

Baldor. Don't know the top one but I see a lot of good stuff from Baldor in manufacturing environments. We use a lot of their equipment in the plant. Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

Yep sure do. I do electrical repairs on the side and industrial maintenance for a living. I have the rest of the cable stashed away for now. The shop is in need of cable and lumber/stock racks. They're on the list! Made it back out to the shop today. Been busy with some other things for a bit...

I used to run Mid O, Gingerman, and Grattan. Not out too often. Once or twice a year maybe. Been out to Autobahn, and road America too. Anxious to get on the track more often! Threw together some quick cable management, got tired of tripping over / losing everything. Going to add some...

Thanks! Yes I am. The Bike on the top is a Buell 1125r with some modifications that I use for track duty. The z06 gets track time as well.

There's supposed to be 5. Trying to embed from google drive. Changed some privacy settings on google. Maybe now?

Pics should be fixed now, let me know.

Hrmm. I'll see if I can figure out the pictures. Trying to link from Google Photos. May have to host them here first. Cool Harley Jim!I haven't made it to Aurora yet! What's good out there?
