I want an air cylinder, as I don't want to have to attach a rope to close it. Besides, it'll be damn cool! The info that I have been able to find, I can get away with one cylinder mounted in the center, yet unsure of length. As far as psi, I have a booster pump that'll go up to 250 if necessary.

I'm enjoying my free Art Metals desk and near matching AM chair I bought off of CL. I better either drink a beer or get back to work. [/URL][/IMG]

I want to use an air cylinder to raise and lower this door. I've searched for an online calculator and have only come up with European companies that want your needs, then sell you the cylinder. My dimensions are 54"x28", with a 75 degree swing, and the door weighs less than 15lbs. Any help...

Man, I haven't updated this in a while. I can't believe I'm 10 months in to this project and not quite finished. But I'm close! A little touch-up paint work, then install the floor. After that, I'm going to have some fun! It looked like this for quite a while, as I worked on the interior...

It's been a while since I posted an update. I've been busy, but unfortunately not working on the garage as much as I would like. I wasted a month while waiting on the city to grant us a permit to frame up my doors... Prior to installing the doors, I took the opportunity to load this in. I'll...

Maybe I've been looking at the wrong LEDs, as it is a color issue. I also hate LED flashlights. I work I in automation repair and pick up my cheap, filament model every time.

Holy smokes! I guess I'll put them under my mill.

First, I have a 20x15 area that will mostly be lit by 12", 100W pendant shop lights, 10' off the ground (I think). I wall also have some perimeter task lighting, but the pendents will be the bulk of the general lighting. How many will I need to PROPERLY illuminate the area? I know they've...

Except for where my heavy machinery is, should I run the tiles wall to wall, or should I run them to the edge of my work benches and smaller tooling? Thanks!

Got all of the insulation up on the ceiling. It took me two days. My arms are all bumpy and I'm crabby. [/URL][/IMG] I got the Mitsubishi split installed this week. Even without all of the insulation up, I'm already surprised at how well this works. I'm guessing I can thank the housewrap and...

How close to Indy are you? Early in 2010, I was there for business. While looking through the local Craigslist for vintage moto stuff, I came across the vintage bike night listing at the Steer Inn. After checking it out, the next month, we had our first bike night and get over 200 vintage bikes...

Holy NSR250!!!

Well, I'm going to have to adjust my drawing. This thing is going to take up more space than I had allocated. But that's ok! Sure hope I can learn to run a CNC... [/URL][/IMG]

I have some attic space, but it's REALLY limited. I decided that means I'm going to part with everything that isn't necessary. Like old Honda parts...

Thanks for the kind words. It's going to be pretty sweet when finished. Unfortunately, only half the size I'd like. I can't wait to get started on the inside.
