    ****, Darned Door Hinge Smashed The Zipper On Favorite Grunge Jacket

    I throw a lot of stuff away ( no I don't..that was a lie ) but dont' throw out a perfectly good jacket... leave a hot glue gun on the kitchen counter...glue it shut each night and head out. After a week or so you can just use a heat gun to reseal it. The Red Green show is alive and well.... come...

    Ratchet Tie-downs that a little old lady can use??

    I like Marks idea of a hinged bar of sorts that has only one point to attach with a hairpin, overcenter latch, etc. I can't even run one of those cheap ratchet straps on a nice sunny day and a beer! All the "home depot" type stores sell big ratchets that are wide enough to operate with a full...

    animals in the shop

    I'll be sealing my gloves up after reading this..I get plenty of wildlife coming in to see whats up....No bears however! Worst was spending an hour or so asking a big skunk to take a hike.... it was a real slow easy deal for sure... lots of tossing real small rocks in areas behind him to caox...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Very nice work.. I'm a fan, especially after spending some time viewing your webpage. Will look forward to seeing your YouTube. I do some blasting, painting, and powdercoating as a hobby, you are an inspiration! Randy

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I kept moving a heavy cement block rearward until it got real dicey feeling around 30 mph. Moved the block forward for the ride back home. Put a removable divider inside to load could be for or aft of the axle and would not move around. I built a couple of trailers and hitches over time. Watch...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Have you pulled MC trailers in the past? Like any trailer, they are sensitive to tongue weight. A trailer going into a shimmy behind a bike can overwhelm the bike quickly. Not being a Debby Downer, I like bike trailers..

    full lift scissor lifts

    If I did that I would never sell this place or move....besides, I would be so tickled that I would pee down my leg, then the lift would rust. A full lift ( 70 inch ) scissor would be easy to install, take with me if I move, or at least bear to leave behind to the next lucky guy. A twin post...

    full lift scissor lifts

    The link you supply is one I have looked at as well, and it appears to be the same lift as one of my links above..only the name is different as far as I can tell....... One is rated as 6600 and the other at 7000 I believe, makes me wonder if they make up some of this stuff. I will check with my...

    full lift scissor lifts

    I have a lot of reading to do....... Whatever lift I may go with, I want a full rise, somewhere in the 70 - 73 inch lift so I can walk under the vehicle. We live in rural.. gravel roads, mud, snow, ice, etc.... recessing into floor is not a good idea on my application as it would be a trap...

    full lift scissor lifts

    Anyone using the Tuxedo or Greg Smith Atlas Scissor lifts? We use various inground and scissor lifts in our company where I work. For years I used twin post, inground, Rotary lifts. I did a lot of suspension work as well as electrical..( Under Dash ). I typically would raise a car 3 ft or so to...

    New Old Guy from Kansas

    Good day from NE Kansas. I have been reading your forum for a month or so, studying various lifts. I don't mind laying on the floor to work on things...figuring a way to get back up sometimes takes a bit of math and algebra, and that is obviously my weak suit. Decided it was time to join...
