Yeah I was going to build some, but I thought I'd check the local princess auto (harbor freight equivalent for us Canadians) for cheap stands, and picked up 4 for $60, as while there isn't a lot of material in these, the time saved was well worth it. The other thing is I was able to save the...

Not much to know, pretty simple setup, frame made from c-channel or HSS cut in the middle on the top flange, the clamping system is a nice rail setup. But You can duplicate (minus that rail system) that pretty easy. Find 2 10' lengths of I-beam, toss in cross beams where they are needed, toss...

There's enough to get it flat, and then I would toss a plate on top of that, effectively giving me a machined top at all time. Yup, its the only thing I do not like about my area which is in north east part of Calgary AB. Shop noise is minimal providing i keep the doors closed. My garage is...

Yeah I can toss a thread up on here, I don't have a lot to show at the moment. I'm hoping to get started on these axles after the Canadian turkey day weekend.

Tough truck/mud truck type of rig. I guess you can call it a smaller mega truck build. Its a 96' ford ranger 800hp 400 ford, toploader 4 speed, nv 271 transfer case, king coilovers, 4 link, 4 wheel hydraulic steering, full roll cage, I'm having to retain the factory frame but it will be...

Those are the front axles from the trucks that transport the abrams tanks :D. they are for my race truck and are the first project to be built on the table, and I will likely use the table as a chassis table to build the frame/chassis for the race truck as well. Honesty when I started this, I...

28lb/foot for the beam, there is ~38' of beam in that table, so 1064 lbs. Kind of a chunky ****** isn't it? Oh and i still have the top plate I want to add to it. Seriously though, this is what I wanted, something with mass that i can put stuff on and reef on it and not have it move, vibrate...

Very nice setup.

Posting up my plans a build of my welding table. Also hoping to get a few ideas too. Anyway long story short, my plans of finding a blanchard ground table top from anything has been taking forever, and through all my searching I've stumbled across a bunch of decently sized i-beams. I ended up...

Picked up an older compressor, replaced my mig welder with a 250amp machine (i have a seperate review thread for this, its a chinese brand at a price and warrantee that was worth it to try out), also found an older rebranded (canox) syncrowave tig welder (no pictures of just the compressor...

Thought I'd post up my garage build, its a small basic build with enough extras to make it a decent workshop as well. Its 22' wide and 24' long, 9' walls and vaulted ceiling (I wanted bigger but that's detailed below). It will be wired for 220/110 service, insulated, heated, & drywalled. I won't...

Apologies, Intardnet tones can be hard to judge at time.

The shop i bought from is the shop the miller and lincoln techs call when they can't figure stuff out, they can do a complete tear down and rebuild of everything top to bottom. Which answers your question, yes the level of service you would expect for a miller/lincoln, is available. They've been...

Those welds will hold with no load, but long term with full trailer load you will likely run into issues down the road (lots of undercut, lack of fill, etc, plus with it being painted you cannot properly inspect it and I would hazzard a guess the "nice" looking weld was done wrong). Regardless...

Fair enough, it comes with a warranty and the manufacture's service center for the region is who I bought it from, so risk wise it was something I was willing to bite on. Keep an eye on the review thread for updates.

Chinese made.

Chinese translations is what I figured. Here's the review thread: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=296774

Welp, after almost falling for that miller 211 ebay scam and then doing some searching for looking on who was selling welders locally I stumbled across a well known shop advertising the above machine for $714 cdn after gst. Link to said machine: http://www.weldking.com/pdf/Flier-MAG255.pdf...

Local shop here in calgary AB is selling these for $679 cdn before tax, I'll toss a review thread up in the fabrication tools forum. Anyway here's the shop: http://www.kristian.ca here's the flyer: http://media.wix.com/ugd/778b26_d75c3a57a3854fb49ebc7046c64a4e00.pdf Here's mine: I'll...

Take a hike bud, no scam, nothing in it for me, just trying to pass along useful info to fellow garage gear heads. I have a few review threads up in a few places about the machine, call the shop for yourself or check the BBB, or just pull your head out of your *** and realize not everyone is...
