I would add a second minisplit. How much insulation is in the ceiling? I can't say for Oklahoma but here in the southeast an exhaust fan would only be usable for a short time in the spring and fall. For example, when I build our home I installed a whole house fan but quit using it because it...

Wow, love it. That is some really heavy duty equipment. Very impressive. Hope you get to spend a lot of time in there.

You will want a router table but be sure to get one that has a contained space for dust collection. If you don't have a dust collection system yet then you will at some point if you get into more woodworking. It makes a huge difference in being able to enjoy the hobby or business. I have the...

If you can get standing seam for only 2500 to 3K more I would jump on the metal. I am a big fan of metal roofing but also think exposed fastener roofing is insane. When I had a metal building put up a few years ago I had to search metal building companies to find one that would sell me a...

I never made a distinction between coolant vs. antifreeze and used both terms interchangeably. I am an old guy though. I guess if you lived where it never gets below 32 and you didn't care about the other properties in the solution you could just use water and call it coolant.

I made a couple of brackets from 1/2 in bar and bolted to the lift. Has worked fine for me

I bet they don't consider EPA certification the same as licensing. Email them for an answer, don't call, so you have some sort of documentation of their stance. I have heard that Pioneer recognizes DIY installs but better check with them too. Other than the couple of companies considered...

Agree with those above recommending a plug. It will be stronger than a dowel because the grain will run transversely instead of inline with the new screw. I've repaired even some fine furniture with them. I use these cutters which make a slightly tapered plug. Apply wood glue and a mallet...

I am open to critique. I have a 15 lb. CO2 and a 5 lb. Halotron. My shop has a woodworking shop and an autoshop (not in the same room). Do I need anything different?

It does look like a bare spot so it would need to have all the finish removed. Your biggest decision is what stain if any you need to match the legs. Or just strip them too and start from scratch. You may be able to sand the bottom and test a few stains. The choice of top coat is easier...

I would either drive a couple screw hooks into a ceiling joist or build a wooden bridge out of 2x4s and hang it. Or even just two step ladders with a board spanning them.

13 I believe. I keep most on this one cart.

I'm not paying $150 for a set of scrapers. And this is coming from someone who owns expensive Lie-Nielsen and Veritas hand planes and Japanese wood chisels.

oooh. really nice piece!

I would use something that will stand up water. With two greenhouses I have quite a few tables/benches. Some are stainless steel tables I got at auctions when grocery stores or restaurants were going out of business. The ones I built are of either pressure treated wood or composite decking...

After watching the Project Farm post I ordered the Storm Industries blower off Amazon since I have plenty of Milwaukee stuff. Where I wash my vehicles at the shop is on well water so I noticed more spotting after they dry. I had been using a chamois but I was pleasantly surprised on how well...

No help for the ceiling but for my farm building I used half inch plywood on the walls and it is plenty sturdy enough for hanging stuff. My workshop is drywall.

That is the way I've done it since install in 2017. I see no earthly way the runway can move sideways.

OP hasn't clarified the problem but I am guessing that the instructions with his lift calls for bolting down both runways. I saw no reason for bolting down the "moveable" runway. Between my fleet of cars, trucks, and tractors I have to change the width. As a tip to the OP as a new lift...

I don't understand either. Are you saying the rear tires are over 18 inches wide so they hang off both sides of the runways? If so, I wouldn't worry about it. If they are hanging off one side then do you know that one runway is moveable? My truck tires are usually close to the outside...
