    30 X 60 Steel - Do It Yourself!

    Thanks for the info! Now at least if things go wacky I will know where to start. No big deal to solder in some replacement capacitors. Yes, I agree. Most everything inside has wheels and the more time I spend inside the more I want to make sure most everything is movable on casters of some...

    Between 485 & 705 SQ/FT I have no idea what I'm doing: A 26x26 shop build.

    From the looks and sounds of it you have a great plan. Your methodical plot plan and drawings are great. One step at a time. If you know people with experience ask them questions, there is also a ton of information on the net on how to do just about anything. Good job and keep posting...

    Show your Unistrut / Superstrut designs

    Hello fellow Strut Nuts! I LOVE Unistrut, the possibilities are endless. I work at an oil refinery, aside from the pressure vessels and concrete, the whole damn plant is built with the stuff. I get mine from industrial electrical suppliers, Menards or HD prices are insane for strut. Most...

    30 X 60 Steel - Do It Yourself!

    Installed a 100 amp panel and learned a bunch with the help of my electrician friends at work. I was lucky in the fact that the total main wire length feeding the panel was only 33' :thumbup: Here is the electrical plan layout (after revision 12) lol :) Fun stuff! I like the...

    30 X 60 Steel - Do It Yourself!

    Hmmm, I was not aware of that. Clopay did have the option for "metal frame install". I did order the doors with extra wind struts and they are injection insulated. Everything seems to be working really good. The overhead door installer did not mention anything and he was a pro overhead door...

    30 X 60 Steel - Do It Yourself!

    One of the best days of all is when I cut the door in the old shop. I'd been "walking around" for at least 6 months, the new walk through door is awesome. I rigged up 2 of my UFO LED highbay lights to use for work light until I got power into the new shop. Having ready access to...

    30 X 60 Steel - Do It Yourself!

    Hi Pat, it is all in the first post of this thread and in my signature below. Yes, I did everything I could myself if humanly possible with one person, I just couldn't afford it with labor costs. The rest was $100 dollar bills and 18 packs of Bud Light. :thumbup: (a couple things most...

    Rolling Tool Cart

    I have been using this rolling cart now for several months and it is awesome. I really like the multi direction casters on all 4 corners. Funny, I was watching this on a list on Amazon and it was right around $300, then I noticed that it went on sale for $113 so I scooped it up. The sale...

    30 X 60 Steel - Do It Yourself!

    The South wall went on pretty easy, some cutting involved. The short red pieces came short from the building supplier so I didn't have to cut those. The roof took myself and 2 other guys. All the panel sheeting (walls and roof have mastic sealer on the lap joint to help make it water tight, the...
