Looking good Matt - finally caught up on this thread again - one thing I left off my list - what are you doing about music and video in the workshop? :) PS - your parts have left my office

3 - Air distribution around the garage - assuming you will place a compressor somewhere >> I will although not sold on airtools for my needs yet - still considering it but will pipe air to the lift area for tires, blowing out grit etc.. The only air tool you really need is an air impact for...

Matt Couple of things that might be worth considering: 1 - 380v 3 phase power - if you have it available, then consider at least 1 plug point - useful for older machinery. 2 - 220v welder plug points - at least 1 3 - Air distribution around the garage - assuming you will place a compressor...

Just buy a new 8Db aerial for your wireless device - cheap and work very well.

Cycling cap - basically a baseball cap with a very short brim - about 1 inch - just enough to cover the gap between forehead and safety glasses. Something like this - just not in pink...

As a long time cyclist and veteran racer, I have to admit that I tend to just lean the bikes against the wall a lot - hanging bikes on the wall and ceiling turns into a pain after a while, and so now, if its not just leaning against the wall then I use a very simple 2 hook system on the...

Cutting fluid dispensing for a drill press could be ok with that - otherwise make bracelets out of it....

I run tank pressure in my primary loop normally - and filter regulators at each drop. Picture 1 - Compressor attatches to T piece on right hand pipe (facilities for 2 compressors) with a vertical rise about 8 foot in the 3/4 galavanised pipe to a safety valve (picture 2) and a drain section at...

Are you going to be using traditional pitch/tar to glue them to a cement floor, or a more modern adhesive? What do you intend to use as a finish on the wood - Polyurethane or oiled/waxed? My folks have a Rhodesian teak parquet floor - installed in 1941 (from second hand blocks recovered from...

What i'd like, but don't have, is some power points between bays recessed into the floor. I hate tripping over long cords routed from the wall points.

A quick scan of a copy of racecar engineering that was on my desk, and i found 2 suppliers of fluid quick disconnects you could probably use - I am sure there are more suppliers out there with similar product. www.jiffy-tite.com www.xrp.com Let us know how it works out.

For consumables - I prefer something like this company www.metmeister.co.za has for their drawer units - look under drawer accessories from the menu - especially the positioning pins and adjustable metal box units. The systainer boxes have very thick walls and thus a lot of wasted storage space...
