You should be very proud of what youve accomplished. Working by yourself, recycling materials, etc. The pavers and roof tile work blows me away. In the US most would have used metal or asphalt shingles.

Lt77 & R380-now you are speaking my langauge....:)

You mentioned tile for the roof. You wont use metal to match the other structure witha contiguous roofline ?

I see you kept a bit of distance with your wall returns from the other structure. Will you connect the two or do you have a different plan ?

10" of concrete and all the metal in it- dont think you have to worry about the last bit being soupy

It has the arbor press or rapid adjustment of the hydraulic like the later models but doesnt match up with the models I can info on the internet. It has the frame and HD aspects of the 50 ton but the piston anvil size...

We have a KR Wilson press that seems to pre date the models that parts are readily available for. We used this press of years in the shop pushing suspension bushings but it began leaking atf when put under pressure. The press may have worked better with hydraulic fluid but when we opened it up...

I bought a lot of the 4ft fixtures in Dec 2020. I linked/plugged them together and mounted them to 1/3's and mounted the 1x3's to the underside of my steel scissor trusses with 1/4 20 bolts. I'm now faced with a bunch of burned out 4' fixtures. Being honest I'm kind of disapointed @ the # of...
