Thank you for the reply, the unfortunate thing when searching on google, is going to three different sites will yield 3 different values for material properties. However youngs modulus seems to be pretty close to the same all over. I'm going to do some more searching tonight. This is the exact...

Thank you for the concern. I am a mechanical technologist by trade, so I'm not afraid to do simulation and calculation when I need to. I just wanted to throw the ball in the court to see if anyone had any big roadblocks to throw out there. I ran the stress analysis on both my current truss...

Hi everyone, I need a little help. I'm currently looking to get some more headroom out of my detached garage (see here http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=310259 ) So that eventually I can maybe put a lift in, but for now it will just be so I can drywall the ceiling and not have...

Well got some more work done today. Got one more wall up, and one more mostly ready to be cladded. Just haveto get the corner post up (put it up 3 times so far and haven't been satisfied.

Thank you for the compliments! Got a bit more done today and hoping to get one side finished tomrrow and maybe start on the front. And yeah, its definitely much more motivating to get things done in the garage when you can be out there in a T-shirt and with the door open. I did get quite a bit...

Alright, so the past few months haven't been all that productive as far as working on the garage has been concerned. Good ol winter. Got a good amount of use out of it and came to terms with things I liked, and didn't like. First thing I didn't like was the lighting, the two fleurescents I put...

Re: 22 x 24 Garage - future little speed shop very nice build so far! look forward to seeing where this goes

Another tool manage to fall in my hands the other day. I'm now the proud owner of an oxy-acetelyne torch outfit! After many years of wanting and needing a setup, I finally have it.

Got myself a new toy today, an Esab Handy plasma 250, in exchange for the welding job I was doing. Can't wait to put her through her paces !
