Bob, you might want to look at my buddy Mike Furick's site <dogfab.com>. He manufactures pyrex cups for pro weldors. Don't let the weld **** scare you away. vic

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46) Perhaps an old style elevator scissor gate on the interior side of the loading dock? PS: this is a great thread. vic
