Thank you. I appreciate the information.

Maybe I missed it but is this a steel building that's going up? We are going to start looking at new "retirement" properties soon and most of them will have the land but not the shop space I desire. So I am looking into steel buildings. I went and looked at a couple of Morton buildings. Was just...

I agree. Airgas ***** and I've used them for years through work. For my personal stuff I am looking for a new supplier.

I know you do not sell lifts but do you have any knowledge about converting an older HF motorcycle lift to air? I would consider buying a whole new jack, etc. since I got the lift for free. Mine is manual at the moment and it doesn't seem to leak fluid but it does drop over time.

I don't know about the new ones. But I have an 80's era Snap On at home dubbed the "Coke Machine" that I can open every drawer and it will not tip. I can also open the bottom drawer, which is full of tools, and stand on it to see in the very top. At work I have an older Mac Macsimizer that I can...

I say anything that helps keeps you stay active and working on your own stuff is worth the money. The benefits are not just financial. Making things easier for yourself to stay in the game and wrenching on your toys is therapeutic and worth the money in my opinion. It is value added as they say...

I would go with the 4". But if you are genuinely concerned you could cut out squares where the lift mounts, dig down an extra inch or two then repour concrete just in those squares.

I found a Snap On pry bar in the junk yard. I found a Cornwell heavy Ball Pien hammer, a smaller Snap On ball pien and a Milwaukee Fuel 1/4" impact driver with a battery in the road at different times. I also found a Snap On labeled Kershaw knife on a loading dock. Snap On put a new blade on it...

Hmmm....I have both Meyhew and Snap On bars. Plus Craftsman and others. I actually like the Meyhews and Craftsmans better because of the strike through handles. I've broken the Snap On handles and it's tuff to get a tool truck to even show up for me since I'm not buying a lot of tools or boxes...

I have several 40sl magnetic work lights. I love them. I have three at home and two in my shop. And I have a couple I use for parts. Is there a way to get a charging port? I have at least two that have become difficult to recharge. Thanks

I've cut quite a lot of aluminum repairing tractor trailers with just a Diablo Demo Demon in a hand held circular saw and it worked very well. They arent that expensive either.

If the original power is 3 phase then feeding the panel with a generator may be harder and more expensive. You may need to start with some kind of 120/240V panel separate from the original setup. I looked into generators for my welding setup. A 5500 watt was only just big enough to run my welder...

I am starting to do some research myself. I am interested to see the responses.

I finished off this speaker box and started working on the one for the drivers side this morning before work. After waking up at 1 AM for work for almost ten years I am now in a habit I can't seem to get out of. Even though I don't have to wake up anymore I still do....So I do these things. LOL...
