I did just that on my Malibu wagon. I went cheap and painted it tho Go for it! I used a mig

hmmm, I didn't think of that. I LIKE IT! I will have to widen the base tho, it is VERY top heavy as it is now. I can't wait to try it out :lol_hitti :thumbup: Thanks, milt. Yes I was curious what the "W" stands for:beer: Not that it matters, I'm gonna keep it, if it works as good as it looks.

I just drug this 4' brake and a Bandbridge 712 bandsaw home. It looks like the saw is junk, but the brake seems nice. Can anyone I.D. the thing? I don't recognise the logo and have not found a tag on it. I would like to know something about it, so i can figure out if it's worth bolting...

I've been looking for a plasma for a while, $900 obo He says it is a 2006 and has hobby use only. It looks new in the pictures, but it's not the current design. I also will use it as a hobby unit for body work/light fabrication. I think I'm gonna make an offer.......Any bad tales out there?

Hey MDALE, I had them on my old pc, but cannot locate them on my laptop. I'll look for a printed copy to scan, but I found them online somewhere for $20 or so. here is a better view

I was forced to hook up to city sewer in Indy a few years ago. It cost less than $6000, that included the "connection fee" I think that was 2000-2500:mad: The septic was in the back, requiring a trench 2/3 around my house, and under a 30" drain pipe that they didn't notice coming out into the...

mine has been full for 15 years unless being moved or serviced in some way. I do always try to turn it off when not in use.

nope, the shed on the right is 12x20 and set back 15-20'. The main shop is 30x34

Re: What did you do to your garage today? I put my shelving on stilts. It was raining out so I didn't paint them. Pretty low on the cool factor, but I need the floor space.

build it! I built a 20x12 with a loft. I opted to leave a small section of 2nd floor out. I use a step ladder to access when needed. no outside access or stairs required. I think I spent $3200 including a new framing nailer and small compressor to run it. It holds a lot of stuff (keeps it...

I have a few office drawers, not for tools so much, but supplies, parts and so on. $100 + paint

We have not been there yet, but hope to make it this summer. We will be going down 12 miles of the rain swollen Wolf River this weekend. I'll try to put a clip from last weekend here <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390"...

thanks Charles Yes these were upright supports. The one I bought is 17'. I plan on cutting it down to 12' for a gantry. I am positive it will support any of my needs, I have seen posts @ practical machinist claiming a 4K lb limit @ 10'. I will never get close to that. as far as the long...

I did a quick search, wasn't smart enough to find anything. I bought a used w8-18 today for $.25 per lb. It still has a couple brackets welded/bolted to it. they had 3 others (longer ones) that were "cleaned up" for $.35. just a few bolt holes in them Is this in the ballpark price wise? I'm...

LOL! Put her to work in the shop :bounce: My wife cuts me a lot of slack, but she does sometimes forget that things don't build themselves. She works a lot of hours in a hospital, so she has fun in the shop when she gets a chance. It's a much different kind of hard work! She grew up on...

My wife has been reminding me that she NEEDs some stuff built. Last week she informed me that we would build these items on her next day off:lol: She recently bought me a kayak so that I can't weasel out of her group trips so easy. Therefore we NEEDed a new wall mount rack and a trailer to...

very cool

Great ideas guys! Thanks a million!! I am out of supplies for now, but it will be used with the top floating for now. I NEED to build a kayak rack.....so I'm told:o I'll post up more pics once I round up the bits I need to finish it up.

thanks guys! I ordered the book. I don't claim to be a welder, machinist, or fabricator; so I hope it shows up:p

Thanks for the comments guys! I don't think I'll have it ground flat. I live in a very rural area, for example, it's 44 miles to Lowes and 50 miles to the fab shop where I buy steel. I have no idea where to have it ground within 100 miles of here.:headscrat I've been thinking about the...
