Good info, thanks! I've already got a spare 2" receiver to add to it for my bench grinder/vise/etc, so that's in the plan already. Ground peg, torch holder, etc are in the plans as well. I figure those things will be added once the main structure is together, so I can figure out the best...

Hey guys, I know this is talked about fairly often on this site and many others, but I have a question regarding dimensions for the welding table I am getting ready to build. For some background info, I was given a Lincoln sp170t last year and have done some small projects with it (once I...

FWIW, I had the plans for my 26x34 (2 car w/ carport) drawn and stamped by a PE for $1000, including revisions and substantiation for alterations during build.

it's not the burst strength that's the issue, it's the way it fails (split in copper vs. PVC shrapnel) from what I understand

Are there any certifications referenced OUTSIDE the US? To me it seems that cars are lifted and lowered worldwide, yet everyone in the US wants ALI cert. What do they look for and use in Europe?

I've thought about the need for this type of business over the years as I have been on various job sites. I built the kitchen in a $2M home that was to be in a showcase of homes tour. They did all kinds of work to the home. The large detached garage, however was nothing but blank drywall and...

The one local to me does ****. I don't really like Lowe's much more, but the "service" at HD here is terrible. One morning I went to HD not long after opening to make a quick exchange for some PVC pieces. When I went to the return desk, the employee was told by the manager to ask me to wait...

My bench is 37" high for reference

I did my outlets at 48" all the way around the garage, including those in the bench area.

I'd accept nothing less than a new replacement or a full refund. for reasons already mentioned.

I've been researching them a bit lately myself and the Direct Lift Pro 9F is near the top of the list for me. Bang for the buck it looks like a lot of lift and it appears to be the same as the Revolution RTP9, which is certified (check the spec sheets - identical save for the logo on them)...

if there are sufficient safety devices in it, I wouldn't have much issue with it. Having a disappearing work surface like that is something I've considered as I look at lift options. You're obviously a fan of that concept!

great project - looking forward to more progress

can't the exposed mesh fibers be burned off? thought I read that somewhere

I wasn't in the other thread, but my Kobalt 60 gallon has been treating me well for the last 14 months. I got it on some kind of sale and also got a rebate (gift card) with it, so the net cost was pretty cheap. I think I ended up paying a little over $300 for it. I only have temp plumbing...

I'm currently in the same situation with a somewhat cluttered garage needing some organization. Just last night I purchased my insulation so I can begin closing the walls in. I found that was the thing keeping me from getting organized, as I couldn't do any permanent storage until I had...

I built my garage having an agreement with my wife. The enclosed 22x26 is for my use, with a mixed use 22x12 attic space (8'ceiling) above. Since she uses a remote car starter, we built a carport on the side closest to the house for her. She gets the closest parking spot and protection from...

I built to an 11' ceiling with 2x10's. I was going to build it 10' tall, then realized a double top plate and the single bottom plate gave me 4.5". Add that to a row of block beneath the wall (~7.5") and I got another foot from it. those together with a 10' stud got me an extra foot. Food...

Very cool projects (garage and truck). Nice work!
