Designing my stand in Fusion 360. And trying Google photo for image sharing. Influenced heavily by a stand design I found online... might have been here on GJ.

Whew! At 170 lb/cu ft, that thing would be over 24 tons!

Thanks guys, for all the great info! I have a project to finish up in the wood shop, then I think next week I'll get to taking that big rock out of the trailer. Almost forgot I snapped a couple of pics. Here's my new acquisition in the trailer. (Behind it is a cider press. I've been planning...

Thanks for the detailed and on-point reply Matt. Interesting idea on using it for layout, I will have to remember that.

Hey, yes, that's one that came up in a search. Super heavy duty stand for a big plate.

Yup, I'm thinking around 500 lb or so. The auction place loaded it into my trailer, now I need to get it out and up on a stand. Prob rent an engine hoist. I heard one other guy comment that it "must be a tombstone"... so between those who though that and others who know how heavy it is, I was...

$294 is what i'm seeing there. I have a seemingly endless supply of 30mm square steel tubing, so I'll probably build something from that. Biggest cost to me may be casters. The 30mm I'm not positive about, but it measures 1.18 inch on the outside - bigger than 1 1/8, yet smaller than 1 1/4. And...

Hey, couldn't really find much in a search, so here I am. Just last weekend I picked up a 36" x 24" x 6 1/2" granite surface plate from an auction. $5, which seems to be a decent deal. The calibration sticker on the side shows it's a grade A plate, but hasn't been calibrated since 2001. I don't...

Is there such a thing? I've got two halogen work lights, and they've been **** from the start. It doesn't take long before the adjustment collars on the telescoping pieces start slipping. The upper frame that holds the light heads is wobbly. I often avoid folding them up to move because I...

The arc-fault breakers are pricey. Personally I wouldn't put them in where not required by code. If a hot wire in the box contacts the neutral, ground, or box (if metal), it's going to trip a normal breaker, so you're protected in that way. Are the walls already covered? If not, you could...

Wow, helluva garage! Beautiful floor, too. CarCrazy, do you happen to know how much $ this worked out to per sq ft? Also wondering, for you or anyone else here, about whether the flakes might make it harder to find small parts dropped on the floor? I intend to do an epoxy floor coating in my...
