hmmmm, how about a length of timber the desired height with a nail in it to hang the tape. maybe a stabilizer at the bottom to make it T shaped. just lean it against the wall and away you go. it will even help when you need a beer break.....or two.

good score!

more, please....

F#*K yeah!!!

Sorry about the last post....I will try again with the pictures. Richard.

Here are some pics of the 4 post hoist. I believe it was made around 1965 in Tasmania, it is 3 phase. The post with the controls on was the only one with covers. The others had nothing to protect you from moving parts or grease, so I made the shrouds. Dont know if you noticed but the...

Well guys, I thought I would give you a closer look inside my garage. Here are a couple more shots. This is my office, I dont really use it for anything except to store junk and sit in there when it is stinking hot with the airconditioner on. This is the outside of the office. On top...

Its a pity they dont sell beer, cheers. ha ha ha ha!!

I buy tools because I can, you can never have to many. It makes you look kind of cool, even if you dont know how to use them.

I have installed two pits into two houses I have built in Australia. When I sold those properties I never had any problems mainly because it helped sell them. When I used to have big parties I could put the covers on and they were out of sight, this can not be done with a hoist. Common sense is...

Very nice.........!but..........!did you go to the tip with any trash from the old garage? I would have to leave the old garage there because of the amount of **** I got. there is no way I could end up with a place like that. On the plus side I would have two garages.....now thats worth...

Funny......mine fits all of the above??? lucky it is big enough.

The trailer is home made. I made this about 11 years ago to take on rod runs and swapmeets. The tow vehicle is a Ford Prefect, so I purchased another Prefect, cut it up and ended up with this. To achive the tear drop look I welded the roof to the front and used the remaining pieces to fill the...

Hi guys Well we have had a break from the rain today so I thought I would get some shots of my outside garage. The black stuff to the left on the roof is the solar heating for the pool. Here is a shot of the rear. I have had some earth works done so I can put a 10 foot extention to the...

Andrew, My daughter has just come off her P plates and has hinted at a small block chev and turbo 350 that she knows I have lying around.(In her dreams I got enough of my own car projects). I will post some shots of my garage outside tommorrow. Regards, Richard.

The torana is my daughters car. We bought it of ebay unseen. My daughter and I removed the windows etc, repaired the rust and painted it. While we were at it we installed new carpet, roof lining and all rubbers. The wheels were an ebay item to and came with good tyres for $150. Good thing...

HI King Nero, I am a rodder so I bought a second hand 4 post hoist to keep with the theme. My hoist was made in Tasmania in 1965 and needed a new lifting nut with a butress thread made, this cost me $310. I find the 4 post quick to use as you just drive on and dont have to worry about...

Mark H Funny you should mention the sister thing.....most of my mates wifes all appear to be sisters??? small world hey. Love the pick up, I have my all steel Model A Tudor in pieces giving it a full rebuild at moment. What is that white stuff you are growing....looks like it belongs in a...

Hi all. Fringe, here is a closer shot of my coke fridge. It was working fine until I moved 2500km, damn removalists dropped one off the juke boxes to. It is probably a minor thing on the fridge, will look at it one day(I am a refrigeration mechanic by trade but I wish I made time instead) Also...

Hey Rob, you are right about the waste of hours.....I have been on and off all day. New to Brisbane, moved over from Adelaide about 4 years ago but dont hold that against me. Right will try to add pictures again.
