Operator error, no two ways about it. The electrical systems in cranes are a failsafe; they are not in place so that the operator doesn't have to do his job. You sit down with a load chart and a paper and figure out your lift before you do it. This is the single most important thing they...

Hope you like it hot, because thats what you're gonna get - a very HOT hobby space. Spent much of my youth cleaning those out on the farm. Learned early on the value of getting up early and beating the heat.

Great looking place you've got there. Any updates??

I love what you've done with the place. Any updates?? It's been nearly a year!!

That's a good looking place you've got there. Can't wait to see what the inside looks like as it all comes together.

Just want to join the long list of people congratulating you on your fantastic work. Like many, I joined GJ because of this thread. It's taken me a long time to get through to this point, but it's been time well spent. Seeing the way you've preserved the history of the shop while...
