Also, My floor to door with it open is 128 in, and overhead it comes in under the ceiling 125 in. the door is 10 tall and 16 wide. As far as price, I checked several dealers, and the installed price varied a lot most advertised door companies were about double of local installers

To answer the qustion, 30 ft minimum. Mine is 40 ft. I also don't understand why people buy short bed duallys. The aren't very useful. The bed is too short for a load. If you have a fifthwheel or gooseneck Most people around here end up with a sliding fith wheel or set back ball for cab...

I have a Country Clipper with a joy stick. That way I have a free hand. I love that mower. I'm on my third one.

Some people won't agree with me, but I don't think a 110 welder will do it. Mine only works on thin metal. I have been welding for 50 years. I made a extension cord with 10/3 SO wire and have used it for over 30 years. I have had no trouble with it, no over heating or tripped breakers. I...

There is an online company called ultimate hangar door, that sells kits to build a bifold overhead door, that is priced very reasonable. It is designed for an airplane hangar, but will work for a shop too. A friend has one and is pleased with it. They sell you the hardware and you source the...

That is what I thought it was, but wasn't sure. Thanks

Does anyone know what this tool is? I bought it 15 years ago and forgot what it is. Old age ain't for sissys

I am 70 years old. I also learned to stick weld back in the 60's. I also trusted stick more than mig. I have a miller 251. I was building a dovetail on a gooseneck trailer, and thought I would try the mig, since it was faster. I cranked up the amps and did the job. The first time I used it, was...

I'm pretty sure the bluegrass one's were made in Louisville, Ky by Belknap hardware. I'm not sure, but I think they closed up in the mid 90's, maybe 95 or 96. Belknap was in downtown Louisille, I think about where the minor league baseball field is now.

I have built several personal use shops. My current one is 40 ft deep and 44 ft wide. I have room for my crew cab dually and have room to work around it. I also have room for a couple of cars on the side. My lift is to the left side of the 16 ft door.. Speed bump has the right ideas. I...

I have one like it that I bough new in 1974. Still have it

I have one like it I got in 78 or 79. I still use it. I never thought about any value. I have been buying tools since my first set in 1968, which I still have. They are new Britain. I just use them along with the remline roller I bought in 1974, for $114.00

I built a 36 X 48 with one door in the end. I wish now I had put 2 doors in the side. I am going to add a door in the side opposite the end where the door is.

I had a Rotary spoa10 a few years ago. After lifting a few 1 ton trucks with it, I sold it and bought a symmetrical lift. For anything except light cars the symmetrical is best. I live about 10 miles from the Rotary factory and my daughter worked there. She ordered it for me and her boss asked...
