Actually out here, they are applied technologies. But the google still pulls them up.

I would also like to hear this. I ran PVC in my home garage for about 5 years. went thru all kinds of heat cycles. Worked great. That said, when I built my shop I used iron pipe. There are a lot of advantages with iron pipe that a poly or plastic pipe/tubing wont have. In iron, the air...

Great advice!! Where are you from? :D

Meh, go walk around a few commercial shops and see what theyve got going on. If folks go around thinking of all the things that can go wrong, they would be scared to leave their bed. unless they are worried that a tree would fall across their bedroom. then safety is nowhere :)

I ran into issues up in wahington when I went to build a pole barn. planned to sink 6x6 posts, pour inside, walaa. City wanted 12x12 #1 posts spaced every 8'. it was completely cost prohibitive, and I tried everything to fight them on it. Eventually I decided I wasnt going to build a train...

I pay attention to where my sparks go, and direct them in the same direction. Partly because I want a smaller mess, partly because I want no fires. Risk mitigation goes a long ways. But vigilance and common sense go even further.

Thats great, except when you want to load a car that has a different wheelbase.

I Built this: DOnt know if you can see the relief cuts, but heres a closer view I thought this was cool, so I added it to the side Oh, Yeah i cant see pics either :)

This^ Also, for any of you guys loking for bearings or seals with no luck. Call Bearings Inc in downtown Vancouver wa. They know bearings.

Bad joke :)

what about a carport? Most jurisdictions dont mind those.

Hello ray, could you be so kind as to post your drawer measurements? curious if they are the same size as my cabinet.

He's from virginia, I dont think theres anything you can teach him about makin' a still :)

I was marveling at your paintwork on the GAZ-51, and I scolled back a few pages to see the scale of the model. Now I am quite impressed!

x2 on recording your property. And keep a copy somewhere other than your house. I try to take some photos of the shop every so often, just as a visual queue.

I managed a 25x48 by bringing in 200 yards of fill dirt:willy_nil

Live load vs dead load. Live load refers to dynamic loads - People walking, snow, ice, etc. dead load describes the weight of the roofing and other materials which the truss must carry. Again Nothing to do with the weight of the truss.

Wizard Your math isnt quite accurate. The weight of the truss has nothing to do with load capacity. It means load capacity. The weight of the truss falls on the walls, or in the case the posts. Load gets tricky when comparing roof load and inside ceiling load. From an engineerin standpoint, when...

It depends heavily on its use. I dont need a 2" thick steel plate table to rebuild hydraulic cylinders. I want something strong, thats easily rolled around.
