So I'm looking at replacing my dewalt abrasive chop saw with one of the newer cold cut saws that are out there. Got it narrowed down to the below and wanted to know if any of you guys have these or have used them. The makita has a smaller blade but I don't need to cut over 3 1/2 thick steel...

Revolution RTP9 here, i'm 6'1 and mine gets a Trans AM high enough for me to walk under it with 10'6 ceilings..but just barely. If you work on trucks or are taller than that get 14ft ceilings and a clear floor style lift if you can swing it. Really like my revolution but I'm sure there are...

Pretty cool, looking forward to seeing progress on this.

Thanks everyone, much appreciated.

I have a finished pole barn with drywall and foam board insulation. The exterior is metal sheet screwed into the horizontal beams that is commonly seen. I put a ceiling in and it is also insulated, should be around R40 in the walls and ceiling. I'm looking to move my compressor into a smaller...

I like the anchor idea a lot, next time I pour a floor for a garage I'm doing this. Here is what I ended up doing, four 3/8x4in concrete bolts into a 4x4 piece of 1/4 steel with a hook I picked up at ace bolted and then welded on. I over torqued one of the concrete bolts but it wasn't anything...

I didn't even notice the cable length, makes a lot of sense given the size and weight. I have a 10K tow strap that is around 10-15 feet, between the two I think this will work pretty well. Just need to anchor an eye bolt into the floor and I should be good to go. I'll take pics and let...

I kind of like this little guy, plenty of pulling power and I should be able to easily reuse. https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200455486_200455486

So, I've been looking for a method so that I can move non running vehicles into my garage by myself. There's enough of an incline so pushing isn't an option without a 2-3 man team. It's a pole barn so I figured I could attach the winch to one of the 6x6's then run the line to a pulley at the...

I have a revolution two post certified RTP9, really really happy with it. With 12ft ceilings though spend the extra to get a clear floor model.

Love my pro 3.0 series, they are really solid, good bearings.

flexzilla ftw, have 200ft of their water hose and 150ft of their airhose. could be happier

I ran through the same thing when finishing my shop. I ended up going with 5/8 firecore drywall for a few reasons, cost wasn't one of them. 1. It's not as flammable 2. With a gloss white paint it reflects light nicely and makes the shop seem bigger 3. Easy to clean if I want to 4. Looks very...

White electrical tape and a sharpie, faster/cleaner than duct tape and takes up less room. Masking tape will wear away eventually, once the sharpie dries on the white electrical tape you have to apply some effort to remove it.

Very cool build, thanks for taking pictures of everything as it reinforced my ideas behind insulating my own pole barn and it was the first time I had seen perma columns not already in the ground. Those things are rad.

The long screwdrivers act as a good stethoscope for finding top end engine noise, metal end where you think the noise might be and the other end to your ear. The metal goes all the way through the handle so it works great. I use them like this for checking out vehicles before purchase, they are...

+1 on victornet.com picked up some great cobalt bits from them that I'm very happy with. Never really heard of drill bits with a warranty though.

Just in case anyone was curious, I've been using those cobalt bits from victornet the past couple months and they are fantastic. Can't believe I ever used anything else, they give perfect ribbons of steel when drilling instead of sending chips flying everywhere and get the job done a lot faster...

Yep, it's like a sarcophagus lid. You just move it out of the way if you need to get up there.

Good news, looks like my theory panned out, took a 4in hole saw to the ceiling and afixed a 4in dry vent fitting up there. When I turn on the 24in attic exhaust fan it creates enough suction to pull a decent amount of air up into the attic. The trick here is over kill on the attic exhaust fan...
