Are you talking about a triangular or rectangular loft? How much weight do you intend it to support?

OK. my previous post recommended a "super sophisticated" approach. Seeing the pics of your super clean garage (even flooring in the attic), I thought it appropriate. Here is a chart showing the basics of air plumbing design.

"I'm just trying to get the driest cleanest air possible at my tool or spray gun." Air clean enough (particulates & oil) for air tools & spray guns isn't much of a problem using commercially available filters. Getting the air dry is a much bigger problem. You'll have 660 gallons of free air in...

Have you considered using the Harbor Freight 44" base cabinets (about $350 on sale) for your drawers and building (or have built) a steel frame to house the HF cab and provide your bench frame/surface? I've seen a number of such custom builds on this site and The Hobby Machinist site. It...

Two pole, single throw toggle switch or a drum switch (if reversing is needed). Pay attention to the "HP" rating of the switch (bigger is more robust). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004WLK9/?tag=atomicindus08-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004VBTPDW/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Re: Mouse I'm my truck Find out how the critter is getting in the cab and close the hole(s). Otherwise, cleaning up after mice may become your new hobby.

What is the intended purpose of the loft? Inactive storage? Party zone? Children's play house? I bought a used pallet stacker (push around pallet lift) for under $500. Hydraulic, runs on 12VDC, 2 ton capacity, 120" lift. Not too hard to rig up "remote" control for use as an elevator. Easy to...

It's all about BTUs. A refrigerator can "keep up" with some level of air usage. The more thermal mass you store in the fridge, the more air it will cool. It all depends on the usage requirements (unknown CFM/time@PSI). You can put a copper coil in a tub and fill the tub with ice water. When the...

For the consideration of those that think this looks like a good idea; Cons: Stainless is a relatively poor thermal conductor (inefficient). Large diameter tube means less surface area per volume of air (inefficient). Pros; You've increased the storage capacity of your system. The stainless...

AHHH HAAA! Thank you for your reply. It's clear to me now.

FigureItOut, Twice in post #2 you write that Milwaukee M18 batteries put out 12VDC. I had assumed that the M12 system was 12VDC and the M18 system was 18VDC. I don't own any of either so can't check. Was your reference to M18 in error (s/b M12)? Or do you confirm that the M18 system operates...

Thanks to the clue provided by DanielSimpsonDay, I found the explanation that we need. Read posts #1, 3 and 6 (at least) in the linked thread. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=295130 Maybe pound sand. :headshake :headshake :headshake Thanks for the clue.

Sure, use Barkeeper's Friend if you want to spend a day scrubbing your arms to exhaustion. Otherwise, 2 or 3 spray cans of good oven cleaner will remove all paint and general grunge with only the labor of spraying it on. I'd do a section at a time, let the cleaner work for a few hours, use a...

Most, if not all, of my suggestions have been mentioned already. Just adding my vote. Bump the front of the gym out 8' (minimum). Add gym entry door on North face of bump out. Add staircase to loft behind the gym. Staircase has landing at SE corner of building and 90* turn to maintain full...

I ordered 2 gallons from AMAZON on Nov. 4. About SIX weeks later I received 2 gallons of Rust-Block (not EvapoRust). AMAZON will send the correct product by Jan 2, according to their latest update. PS: AMAZON said "no need to return" the Rust-Block. Fair enough.

This thread has brought to light a most tragic tale. And, no doubt, provided helpful insight for those who have very limited life experience. Thank you, so much, for sharing.

I don't think those are "commercial" fasteners. Probably custom made. Maybe OEM? Stainless carriage bolts are commonly available. Modify and polish as desired.

I should have been more clear for you. Many item descriptions are grossly inaccurate. It only seems fair to me that buyers be able to pay for falsely described purchases with a random combination of slugs, foreign, obsolete and counterfeit currencies. Turnabout is fair play.

Have you read the sticky at the top of this forum? http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=197787 You've got an assortment of types & maybe brands there. Almost all can be useful. Check to see if all the 'slip fit' type components are the same diameter. Not all brands are the same...

Yep, discount coupon + free shipping from ENCO was the ticket for surface plates. Keep an eye on MSC, but don't hold your breath.
