I agree with @Fugio above. I've bought SureFires back when they were $250, and a bunch of other. I've read CandlePower website for hours and hours. Love the technology. I've owned the ones with the long rechargeable cells (hate those). The brand I've come to really love is Fenix. I have two...

I'd like to know any answers here as well. So BUMP!

Thanks for the link. Looks like a great solution. Attractive door too. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ah, oops, yes I moved the door last night and forgot to move the AC unit. I'm going to try and get rid of the cutouts in the building, but those help form the outside stairwell and platform of the side door on the second floor. Yes, good input. I'll try to incorporate it into the model and...

Anyone seen a door like this? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Suggestions for an admin to ask? I PM'd one, but not sure who is around frequently. Thanks, Scott

Here are the renderings of the workshop building and the topo and driveway layout drawings. Floorplan Topo showing relationship to the house (top right)

Yes, I'd like to do this. Any good photo refs?

Several good ideas here Ray. Removing the benches at the rear, reducing the size of the door, compressor mounted up high. Storing things vertically. One concern - I keep reading "Bigger door" "Wish my door were wider" "If I could do it again, my door would be 100' wide". Am I sacrificing...

Heard. Not done that part of the design yet, but will ensure there are multiple easy to access reels, as well as a 230v/50A circuit.

NOTE: this will be a personal workshop with the capability to do vehicle work (I'm restoring a 1976 FJ40 currently), as well as wood and metal-smithing. It is not a vehicle storage garage except when a project is within. We are constructing a detached 2.5 car garage on the other side of the...

Gentlemen, a dream has come true. I've decided to build a workshop/garage for all my projects. My lovely bride has allocated me a small space by our home to do so. I would love your input as I get on this project. I'll start with a 3D rendering of the site. This will be the bottom floor of a 2...

That is very good access. I'm designing the ceiling to be 12' hopefully, so should have plenty of room. I'm 6'3" thus I need a bit of height to not crouch. Thanks for taking the time to write and post these details, it is very helpful. Here's the thread to the Toyota FJ40 build, if anyone is...

Ok, so thinking about this as a viable option. Thanks Mark for that clarification. Do you have any photos of this in the down position - I'd like to see what you mean by having to step over the arms. If you had to remove the drive shafts or transfer/******, would you be able to do that from...
