Ok cool

Thanks thats a great reference ... that means a 6x6 at 12 feet probably won't work for me.... i was looking in to it and was thinking .... three 2x6 or 2x8 sistered together to form a beam is stronger then a solid 6x6 or 8x8 ..... what do you think?

Sweet thank you very much ....

What "ideas" ???? The idea of finding someone with a real life experience pulling an engine like this .... Because there is no complicated concept to figure out here.... all the people responding with the engineering stuff are making seem more complicated ... really i should of just asked...

Ya perfect ..... but the garage is so small i only have like 2 feet on either side of the car .... do you even think i need the 4x4 vertical posts beside the car ? Or maybe a 6x6 with angle iron on it would work? it won't be anchored to any part of the garage or anything but then it will be more...

Guys its one or 2 rafters.... not every rafter in the garage and you're right I don't understand how the roof system works completely... but im a brick/block mason and have helped construct many structures... And I'm not trying to be condescending and I'm very thankful for your responses...I...

Thats what i was looking for real life stuff ... really eh that's crazy .... do you remember anything about his setup... do you know if he use more than one rafter or strengthened anything up? that's the first bad experience any one posted yet.... I really can't see how if one or two rafters...

Well, you are lifting from the rafters, which could have other forces acting on them. Even if the rafter (sistered or otherwise) holds, it could still tug on your roof structure or pull your walls inward, depending on how the rafter is attached to those components and how the structure is...

Awesome great grinder wall mount. .... i was thinking kind of the same thing but didnt know how i wanted to do it .... now i know .... i was thinking of making it interchangeable with a vise ..... so you can pull the grinder off the wall and then put the vice in and use it.... but I also really...
