its the same way they season cast iron to keep it from rusting, so it should work on regular steel in similar fashion

for my garage, hook my phone up to the radio. same in my shop. when i'm doin yard work, got my phone with pandora streaming through reg earbuds. does it fine for me.

for those scissor lifts, it looks like the ram is attached to a shaft with pulleys on the ends that open it up via the curved sections on the legs, correct?

okay good deal. The parallelogram lift concept would be a little easier to actually design from the actual jack/cylinder standpoint.

does yours feel very stable? also have you tried a dresser-weight bike on it? mine weighs in right about 800 lbs, just wanna make sure that its gunna be stable. and I will definitely post pictures as soon as I start it (hopefully later today)

Wish I had the extra 300. I have all the scrap steel i need, free wire and gas for my mig welder (work), free caster and a hydraulic cylinder from an old porta power

Does anyone who owns a bike table lift have any pictures of the underside? i'm building my own and need some ideas on the mechanics of the scissor action.

Not garage related, but still DIY related. Looking to build a 36"x32" stainless vent hood for my new stove (commercial unit out of a friends restaurant). From what I'm told 600 cfm is good enough flow for it, as i'm not going to be using it full bore with all 6 burners and the oven at the same...

let me guess, this was a 6.0 diesel.

just bring it to a machine shop since you have the head off. they'll get it out faster than you can more than likely, and if the threads are messed up they'll repair it correctly. 20$ investment would be worth the aggrivation IMO

yeah, now i just need to figure out how i'm going to pour that all and do my in floor heating too. gotta read up i guess.

house is about 40 years old, and i was going to dig it up eventually. I'm going to just deal with it until i have the cash to do it right, and install rebar and in floor heating with spacing for my lift. thanks for all of the responses guys
