Looking good! What kinda work do you plan on doing with the lift?

I actually work for Acme Tools up here in North Dakota. Phenomenal company to work for. I'm actually on the equipment end of things but we have 11 brick and mortar stores and one monstrous warehouse for the online business! Acme's online business(Tool Crib of the North) was actually bought out...

I think the second floor is adding to your costs significantly. I built a 28x40 with 10' walls this summer for roughly $21K including all site work and concrete, only cost left is the muding and taping and heater. Putting up a garage is alot easier than you think. I had a few buddies help and...

I could definitely use these! Thanks for the opportunity!

I don't know about you guys but any time I set my drills up like this, it never fails that I bump in to one while grabbing another... Creates a damn domino effect where all my drills go tumbling down. If you put them in a drill station or in a couple drawers of the tool box(my preferred method)...

That is nasty! Just went through a similar experience at my place...Doing laundry and it started to back up pretty bad. Called up roto rooter instead of doing it myself and the guy must have pulled 50-60 tampons out of the cleanout, no joke. Well worth the money to have someone else take care of...

You ever move snow with a tracked machine??? Its absolutely terrible! For snow removal, a wheeled machine is significantly better. There is too much floatation with a tracked machine in the snow. You'd have to stud it to get decent traction on ice. Going to be tough to find a $15k skid loader...

Was using a Milwaukee m12 oscillating multi tool to cut siding for my garage, set it down blade up(first mistake), on the ground(2nd mistake), after cutting a piece. Attached the piece to the garage, went back and proceeded to trip on a box walking back into the garage and landed my calf right...

Is it common to require an architect to design a garage for you? I just got done building my 28x40 garage and the only drawing I was required to have was of the garage location on my lot with easements marked. Did it with a ruler and a piece of printer paper. Garages aren't very complicated...

Very cool. Seems like quite a few people run the Dynasty 200DX's for frame fabrication. Been on the lookout for the last 6-8 months for a nice used unit, no luck yet! The aluminum extrusion in the background your frame jig?

That tractor has a 2000 lb lift capacity at the 3pt, you lose about 500lbs of capacity at 24" from the 3 pt, Can't imagine it will support any weight with that large of a boom... With that long of a boom, there is no way you will be able to handle 750 lb's without something failing. That jib...

Nice work! I've been contemplating building a miter station, have the bosch gravity rise mobile stand at the moment. May just have to do this when my house projects are done! How do you like the T track as far as adjustability goes? I see some people are moving to that for woodworking assembly...

Re: The Milwaukee addiction thread! 😊 Bare tool.

If you guys call the Acme store in Des moines Iowa, they have them in stock(11 units). Just order them directly over the phone via the store and you can have it in less than a week!

Very cool setup, like what ya are doing with the woodworking island, planning on doing the same with my shop as well. What are you running for a welding rig? What got you into bike frame building? Looking into doing that as a hobby here when time frees up, maybe checking out a frame course at...

For sure want to check with the inspections department on this. I was going to build a 2 story garage with a room above the shop, went down to the city and found out that outbuildings in town cannot have an average roof height over 15', which negates the ability to put a second story on the...

That is nuts... I was thinking 6 outlets on a 20 amp circuit was going to be a bit much, much less 12 lights and 8 receptacles... What kinda can lights are getting put in?? Can't imagine there will be too much left over power to power the outlets... When you run a circuit like this, do you run...

Why would you run 4 wires on a 220 circuit? The neutral doesn't get used for anything unless you have a stove or some appliance that requires 110 as well... Seems like a waste of money to run the 4th conductor that won't be used...

Purchased the a pair of the M12 staplers about 2 weeks ago. I've driven bout 1500 staples so far and they work real slick. Used it for putting up insulation in the shop with 3/8 to 1/2 inch staples. They sure burn through the staples pretty quick! Quick review: The dial for adjusting the...

The door is 8x16. Garage has 10 ft walls.
