I am in the planning stages for a new (attached) garage, and looking at the footprint needed. I know bigger is always better when it comes to a garage, but how much is needed to comfortably arrange cars once inside? The roof peak needs to run east/west, but the 18' garage door will be on the...

I am in Roanoke, Virginia. I don't have the cylinders yet, they will be acquired to convert from air/hydrauilic cylinders.

I found another specification chart. Is this reasonable for pushing cylinders of the size I am looking at? Thanks. spec chart for P1AAN2022 - page 15 Capacity 22.87 cm3/t Peak pressure 175 bar (2500 psi) Max working Pressure 150 bar (2175 psi)...

It looks like the pump is model P1AAN2022. The only thing I have found is greek to me. Can anyone put these specs into english for a layman? Does this give me the pressure and flow capacity? Elektropumpe 220/380V, 50Hz, 1,1kW, 6-polig Motor:1,1KW,230/400V,50Hz BG90,B3/B5, n= 910U/min...

I have a press and a tube bender which use air over hydraulic cylinders. I am thinking about building a diy iron worker out of a vintage plate shear which would also use hydraulic power. Could I use an electric hydraulic pump to power multiple devices? There is a local selling the pump...

Things changed, doing a 2800' addition to the house now. Hoping to get back to the garage project after this is done.

After thinking about it you are right about 10' wide doors so I am switching to 12' wide. Thanks.

Current plan is for 10x10 doors, and the bridge rail will be 12' tall. I am thinking about moving the motorcycle storage to the old garage, and moving the woodshop into the new building as well. In general I would rather not mix the two, but know I will prefer to be doing work in the new...

Let's see if this works... The building seen in the lower left is the existing garage, the sally port between the two is so I can get a side-by-side through to the back yard.

I'm in the process of building a workshop, and currently doing the excavation and prep work. Because of the lay of the land, the back and one side wall will be poured concrete with deadmen back into the bank for support. I plan to install a 2k bridge crane and 4 post lift in the first bay, but...

If using it for long cuts on sheetmetal, the path for the offcut has to bend down and away a bit... but not a lot and it could be used that way. The length of the lever arm is so long that doing any kind of "rocking horse" on sheet metal would be a pain. I expect this thing is meant for...

I picked up an old lever shear, here is the plate: It is mounted on a block of wood that must be 12x12, and the handle is about 6' long. I have no idea what thickness metal it can cut, but the blades are in good shape and it came with a spare set. Anyone eve come across one of these...

This one isn't as old, or styled as nice... but it is a beast. I needed to upgrade as I am rebuilding a Cummins, and this is what I found. Spent more $$ sandblasting it and making the Cummins adapter than the stand itself. Someone suggested it is an OTC brand, the model that preceeded...

I am considering Mitsubishi, Daikin, and Fujitsu current units. As I said before, the 18' garage door is single pane glass. The other three walls are estimated at R-8, with siding and drywall. If I were to remove the drywall and insulate better, the overall room heating load would be...

I am thinking about installing a mini-split in the garage. My winter temps sometimes dip to single digits, but is usually 20+. My summer is fairly mild, but I have humidity issues. I am in southwest Virginia. I have had a few contractors out to look, and frankly, they are out of their...
