Yeah possibly. I like Onemoretry's idea, and for me the less materials and complexity the better. Google Sketchup model for download http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=20c9f65d460eaa3062dd87c2d06a4263

That could also work but may become unstable depending on weight. It would also limit you ability to clamp through the slots, plus the grate offers a lot of support to the top with adding complexity and more framing.

The one on the left, but a lighter grey.

about 15-20 mins. Its hard to see in the design, and i need to correct the offset then upload the model so you can see. Basically, a large version of a piano hinge with 2 concentric size pipes or a pipe and a rod The rod is red The green pipes are welded to the folding top The blue pipe is...

How about this, saves lifting the grate out and gives you more flexability. The two front posts can be used as recievers for things like a vice. I will upload the model to the 3d warehouse when it lets me sign in.

Sorry for hi-jacking your thread. I didn't post these up to boast, but more to encourage others to give it a go. I did a little technical drawing in high school, and apart from sketching things on paper, the workbench, etc I have no prior experience. thing like the measure tool and even just...

Good to hear KPS. Re Sketchup. Its so Simple to learn its not funny. The Pics I have posted in here are within my first 3 hrs of using the program and my fist experience with CAD. I since then Knocked this design up for a multi-purpose E-Wheel, Bead roller, Planishing hammer Took probably...

So why can't you do this with CAD? Perhaps things are quite different here in Australia. Local Councils no longer do building certification. This is now done by private contracters who work on the Council's behalf. We are in the process of designing/building a pergola that continues an...

Google Sketchup, The 3d library has quite a lot of scalable items like lathes, mills, toolboxes etc that will help you plan your layout also. My Workshop mid moving The Drawing Planning to enclose a bay of the Awning for a machine room Including Water Tank and compressor House Again

Here's my Hound Zeus, He often works as quality control, but recently I have been teaching him Automotive 101, At least he was a cute Puppy.

I have a section of my steel top coated in POR 15 it seems to do the trick, I even weld on it.

I couldn't find any vibration isolators, so mine is mounted on 4 F100 rear bumpstops :D

Now that you have made some friends :bowdown: What would be wrong with using the same technique for the front of your garage? Perhaps as previously suggested, supplying some photos of the garage and the boat would also help. Fact of life is not everyone is a mind reader and "demanding" that all...

Whilst I agree wholeheartedly, I didn't want to start a debate on the matter. Thanks for your input guys, I spoke to a sparky about it and he is happy for mt to run 48 X 36W fluros off 10 amps, but he suggested I run a 15A 4 switch gang, and run them in banks of 12. In case you are wondering...

The ones I'm using having a 20% tint and that pic was taken about 4pm in the afternoon Artists interpretation of my workshop during summer

So here is a theoretical question, of course no-one condones unlicenced electrical work, so this is purely for circuit design purposes. This is based on the Australian 240-250V single phase system. Volts * AMPs = Watts so 240 * 10 = 2400 lets say 80% safe usage = 1920 W a single fluro tube...

I'm Torn between keeping mine and getting rid of them. Admittedly we have a different climate here. While the free lighting is absolutely fantastic, my problem is that I find I get sunburnt and also that the slab of the shed get heated and as such my workshop becomes an oven, saw 50C (122F) most...

You could always try printing this and sticking it on the fridge Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not considered by...

Thanks mate

Thanks Mate, epoxy is not good for my application. Freight in Australia is a joke at the best of times, but I suspect that this is just added profit margin.
