    Looking for ideas- Hardtop Lift

    Thanks for these photos and your solution to the same problem! I decided to collect as many as I can, then tease my design out of that dataset. I promise not to over design the thing! (but it will be strong enough for sure!) Anybody else who has some ideas or pics, please send them along...

    Looking for ideas- Hardtop Lift

    Thanks guys. The Links: I checked 'em all out, it seems like my initial ideas (& one I built to tip a rather heavy utility trailer on its tail & do it safely) is the general idea common to all the designs. Hand winch, proper harness for the top, well anchored pulleys- bam. This build has to...

    Here are some railings I welded at two different houses I have modded. I also built the wooden pergola. On the ceiling in the garage shot with me using the angle grinder (just behind and slightly left of the stacked Bose 901 speakers) there is a weldment I created to use a wall mounted boat...

    Got super magnets?

    If you happen to use a "Sonic Care" electric toothbrush, and change the brush end regularly..... Check out the bottom of the brush -there are two small but powerful rare earth magnets there. I now have about 30 of them stuck to my tool chest and find all kinds of uses for them. I have attached...
