    Plumbing car exhaust fumes outside ?

    Rusty, Here are pics of my 3 main parts of the system. I fabbed up adapters on the fan for the **** and the blow sides. The "door exhaust port" was useless for my application. I ended up using some 4" PVC thru the wall/ The rubber hose slides nicely inside the pipe and I drilled and...

    Fabrication Table

    Bought one of these at Fab-Tech when they 1st came out with them. Not cheap, but it has been flawless and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. For me, it is the perfect size (48 x 30) and being a coated steel top, it is incredibly durable. (I'd be worried about chipping the cast iron). Another...

    Bolt storage

    I'm a fan of the Stanley bins. They are easy to grab and take to where you need them. I also have a rotating divided parts bin thing that I use for bolts, nuts and washers that I access often. One level for 1/4-20, one for 5/16-18, one for 3/8-16 and then one for bigger than that.

    Plumbing car exhaust fumes outside ?

    jpaw.......Thanks for your positive comments. I'm not sure what I did to get the dog all worked up, but apparently he has seen plenty of well designed systems but did not want to share or contribute in a positive fashion. It's all good. I'm just hoping to get advice from people that have seen...

    Plumbing car exhaust fumes outside ?

    Great thoughts guys. I appreciate the thoughts on the digital readout CO detector. I will order one of those just so I can keep an eye on the level of bad stuff.

    Plumbing car exhaust fumes outside ?

    Thanks cougar.........we are talking monoxide not dioxide. CO. Not sure why I stuck a 2 in there. Guess I got my oxides confused. I have this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M48BH30/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Automotive shops have been using exhaust evacuation systems for as long as I can...

    Plumbing car exhaust fumes outside ?

    There are 3 big overhead doors and I'm pretty sure the seals at the bottom of those will allow enough makeup air. I will keep an eye on it though and I can crack a man door if it seems like it is struggling. The building walls and ceiling are steel siding and the "attic" has soffit vents too...

    Plumbing car exhaust fumes outside ?

    Thanks for all the reply's. I ordered hose & fittings from here: https://www.crushproof-hose.com/ and a fan from here: https://www.cloudraylaser.com/products/cloudray-220-110v-550-750w-industrial-fan-blower?_pos=1&_sid=e80d5d3d5&_ss=r I ordered 3" hose and am planning to use their "door...

    Plumbing car exhaust fumes outside ?

    I am looking for advise on plumbing car exhaust outside my shop. I want to be able to connect rubber hoses to my exhaust and blow the fumes outside. I currently have a CO2 detector in the shop and if I run a car for more than 2 minutes, the alarm sounds and takes forever to make it stop. (not...

    The GDS Skunkworks, 4 FN 27's Shop Projects

    I am very curious to hear how you like the Z-Glide front spindles. I have the same mower and although it is an amazing machine, it is certainly a rough ride. I had not seen those spindles before so ready to push the button when you give them the thumbs up. Thanks,

    Racedeck public service announcement

    WOW....now that is bizarre....... I looked at Swisstrax when I bought the Racedeck, but at the time, Racedeck was more responsive and quicker to respond to questions. Just had more of a warm fuzzy with their communications. Re: dust, I must say that with the freeflow, in 6 years I have...

    Racedeck public service announcement

    Just a quick update on my total satisfaction with my Racedeck freeflow flooring. I installed my floor in 2017 in a 3 car attached garage where 2 cars come and go at least 5 days a week in Iowa weather (snow, ice, wet, etc). I snapped sections apart this last weekend and dragged them outside...
