I just had installed a dedicated 230V outlet with a NEMA 6-50R outlet on 30amp breaker. This will be primarily used for my Millermatic 211. I sometimes am in need of more 110V power ( for drills, grinders....)and NOT in need of the 220V. Is there a way I can convert the 220 to 110 ? Are there...

great post.I too would like to see what can be fabricated to minimize the grit and metal that flys everywhere. I have bee using a welding blanket as a "curtain".

I see what you're saying. Like a closthesline. In my case ,I would be dodging too many obsticles(attic access,weight racks,light fixtures,garage door and opener...). This is a very small garage to begin with. The 8' ceiling makes things very challenging.

I agree. Another guy showed me a picture of a free-hanging rack(chains, rope,strap). I'll try that route first. Because it's free hanging, the board can be slid in nose first or hang the back then hang nose...much more flexible than a solid rack. I can span it pretty wide and hold it tight to...

Oh yeah ARTX much mahalo and you got a sweet quiver there.

Looks sweet and simple. With the chains hanging, it's alot more flexible to go in nose first then hang the tail end. And you look like you can hug the ceiling pretty good (as high as your longest fin). With it being 8' long or longer it has lots of room to put fishing poles whatever. The key is...

Thanks Stuey. Will head out to Home Depot tomorrow.

looks good JHunter. Only thing is I have max ht. below the ceiling of 12''. I can only store1 board highx 3 across. I think I'll use the bike hardware and spread them 6' apart and try to figure a single rope pull to activate the 4 pulleys.

WOPR , where did you get that bike rig from? Lowes? HDepot? Some bike shop?

C'mon guys. I'm looking to the experts!

HaHa I got those to load the ****** boards on the truck. When the tradewinds are blowing trying to control a surfboard on a stepstool is a b**ch. You got those from a bike shop?

I have a rack like that to store my short boards (6-8') which are very light and easy to handle. These larger boards are a beast. Shoving a 12' long x 30'' wide piece of fiberglass/foam weighing approx. 45# into a hole only 12'' high can be quite challenging.

Weight isn't the problem. It's working in a VERY tight area with 3-4 boards about 30''wx12'L. These things are bulky and coupled with weight racks,weights,workbench, table saw.....you get the picture. I just want to reverse the truck, unload boards to the ground and lift away. If I built fixed...

Any surfers or SUPers in the house? With the huge popularity of stand up around the world, many must have the same problem as I. How do you store these ****** things in the carport? I plan on using a pulley system lift and store 3-4 boards. Any pictures out there which have similar set up...

Aloha, Long time lurker and first time posting. Here in Hawaii we have very small carports most with 8' ceilings. I need to build a hoist to store overhead my surfboards. The area I am working with is very small (5x12) and the max I can have items stored is a foot off of the ceiling (making it...

Aloha, I have been following your forums for awhile now. Being in Hawaii, our carports are so small to what I have seen on these forums! To that end, storage is a pain to find and create. I have gotten much insight in the past and am sure I will steal many an idea from fellow memebers. Aloha...
