I thought about it, but thinking a jack stand style would be a way smaller footprint for the purpose. How big is what you have now?

Hi folks, this thread might be the place to ask, since examples can be posted of a shop-made version. https://www.harborfreight.com/power-tools/power-saws/saw-stands-accessories/saw-horses-work-stands/250-lb-capacity-adjustable-roller-stand-with-edge-guide-58810.html I'm in need of 1-2 roller...

I have the exact same dimensions. I went with an 18x40 loft, engineered for a very strong floor load. Beneath that - metal fab area, boiler "room", bathroom, and one small separate garage bay for the mower/outdoor stuff. Up top, I'm about 6'6" of space to ceiling. Otherwise, for most...

In - thank you for the contest!

Sorry if it wasn't clear - when I press the weld button, nothing happens. When I press temper, the blade heats up.

Still stuck on this one (welder). None of wires look terrible / shorted / etc. The transformer is old, with 3 taps (H weld, L weld, T temper). Temper function works, button for welder operates open/closed correctly based on continuity.

Send me a PM so I don't forget. I've got some personal stuff going on, but won't take long to unscrew it and snap some shots.

I spoke too soon on the welder. While the anneal function works 100% of the time, the welder button works ~1% of the time. Not sure how to troubleshoot it yet.

Some updates - wall finish installed, plywood walls (on 2 walls of garage) painted this weekend. Started painting 1/2 of loft subfloor - just trying to get something on it so it doesn't **** up dirt at and look really terrible. Openers going in today, finish wiring continues. Lift(s) being...

Electrical rough inspection passed this morning. On to insulation (4/4) and wall panels/plywood (4/12).

Power service was just cost of panel and meter base, so 200 vs 320 was easy. For design - 1 foot for the loft floors. 100 lb sqft architect designed load. 17 is probably the e magic side wall number without a crunch. Then I wouldn’t need to drop my ROPS to enter :). Loft size - I...

Making progress. I'm in the electrical rough phase. I'm the primary electrician (ha), but one of the Pittsburgh race guys is an electrician. He guided a few of us along and took charge of making the panel really look the part. I'm amazed at what a professional can do with a clean slate and good...

Send me a PM and I'll share the concrete quote from inside (6", but with heated floor prep - final grade, moisture barrier, foam board install, etc). Low on toys at the moment, mostly due to garage space. Plan - new track car, new project car, tractor moves into garage from house garage, and...

Sorry for late response - 18x40 roughly. The upstairs is 6'6" or so to ceiling? I'm short, so it's fine, and 16' side walls is already huge. The small roof - I know from my dad's pole barn that we build 25 years ago, it ***** to mess with a key while it's pouring down rain.
