    2 post lift in 24x30

    I have a 23X30, with two 8X9' doors, and it works great for passenger cars and my jeep. Putting an extra cab dully in there would be tight though. I put in side mounted screw garage door openers so the ceiling was clear. Highly recommend. Here is my build with drawings and pictures scattered...

    Looking for 24x30 garage examples

    NO WAY!! I did mean Stratford - Fingers faster than my brain. We lived on Twisted Oak and the back yard opened up to Buffalo Bayou. So many snakes and bugs! I went to Meadow Wood Elementary. Spent weekends in Sugarland/First Colony riding BMX bikes back in the day. It is a small world!

    Who's got lathes?

    I have a small Myford ML2 jewelers lathe and a 9X22 Jet. My $0.02 worth: Go Big. Go Bigger than you think you will need. You will thank me later. When looking at a used lathe, take a straightedge and check the ways, see if there is play in the head bearings, move the cross slide, look at...

    Stupid 2 post lift question

    It could also be that the safety latch cable has stretched a little. Lift you arms and see if you can get your locks to fully disengage. If not then you can tighten them up. There should be a small cable clamp that can be adjusted with an hex wrench.

    Ever do something so stupid you wonder if you should be left unsupervised?

    I worked at a shop once where the price for 1st offence leaving the t-handle in the chuck was $20.00 in the summer BBQ fund jar up front in the office. The 2nd offence was $100 and if it happened a 3rd time you were walked out the door to never more return. It usually only happened once.

    new rotary lifts

    It is a shinny grey like the newer model grey Harbor Freight 20t press or their grey barrel jacks. Not comparing the quality, just that is the closet paint I have seen to them in color. I have the Rotary Revolution with the blue towers and yellow arms. Wanted orange. For another $1000 I...
