    My 40x80 Metal Building Shop Build

    Very nice. I have been doing my research on building a 40x60 steel building like this. Most people in East TN build pole buildings, and I can not understand putting poles in the ground not matter how well they are treated. One question that I keep asking the various manufacturers and not...

    Best motorcycle lift?? (not the cheapo jack type I'm talking table type)

    I have an Eagle brand lift. I was saving my pennies to buy a Handy when one like this popped up on the local craigslist. I hate to say it is an exact duplicate of a Handy lift, but its very similiar. After all, how many ways can you build a lift? I like the drop out rear section. I have...

    Fluid Transfer pump gear oil help

    I have a pump that goes on top of a five gallon bucket of gear oil, or any oil really. It has a plastic tube on the outlet and you stick the tube wherever you want the oil to go. It works great, probably the best 30$ I ever spent.

    I recently aquired a 50 ton Dake press at a used machinery auction. The only problem with the unit is that the gauge is broken out of the workhead. I have searched to the end of the internet trying to find what pressure the pump supplies but I cannot find it. Dake's manual does not tell...
