It's my expectation, based on years of experience, that shipping on eBay shouldn't be a profit center. IOW, the lowest possible S&H attract bidders/buyers. Higher S&H deters bidders/buyers. I've had sellers refund even a couple $$ overage (hardly seemed worth the trouble) and I've been called...

Think volume, not just area. 40' deep w/ 2/12 roof pitch will allow 20' tall walls easily. You'll never turn 12' high walls into 20' high walls. Build it tall. You can use pallet rack to build any type/size mezzanine you want. Even if only for dead storage, you'll never regret having the...

If I knew what "sizing roller beds" were, the information might be interesting and/or useful. A Google search wasn't helpful. Perhaps you'll explain? As to the suitably of the bearings for nine's application, no problem. A 6202 is a deep groove radial bearing designed for, primarily, radial...

Great find. It makes me ponder the probability of staying complete and un-abused for at least 75 years. Only to be sold at a garage sale for one 2016 dollar. It might have gone to some bubblehead that would trash the contents and use the box to carry other paraphernalia. At least it's with a...

I've subscribed to this thread so I can always find the photos when I need to prove that "I'm not that bad". :see:

Google "roll-up doors", "industrial roll-up doors" specifying your area and get multiple quotes. There's bound to be many good options in the Sacramento area. Your dimensions sound doable to me.

What's common sense? :shocking:

The aluminum bits on the left do look like a syringe holder. How is the "paddle" looking thing (above the syringe holder) actuated? Hand operated? Is a load cell present? My best guess, so far, is a rig for evaluating the time/pressure to operate the syringe, filled with ????, at elevated...

The question implies that you're a hobbyist and think that machine will suit your needs, at least for the near term. If the stuff isn't trashed/crashed (I think it looks OK in the photo) and everything works properly, you're getting a lot to work with for $500. One question; the listing refers...

:dunno:I've always (50+ years) bought the offending Craftsman screwdrivers and the stink is significant when first opening a tool box that's been closed for an extended period of time (weeks). The odor was never enough of a problem for me to investigate a cure. Now GJ (via the web) has offered...

I would also call that a "nut tap" based on the long reduced diameter shank. I've never seen the extreme length of taper before, so I'd call it a "special". Does the tip look like it would "drill" without a pilot hole? It could be designed to drill and tap, through holes only, all in one. I'm...

Thanks for all the info. You've shown many options to consider. Not sure which way I'll go yet.

I needed a 4mm open end wrench today. Don't have one, so used an adjustable. The need brought to my attention that I don't own a set of metric ignition wrenches. No problem, I thought. I'll check the web and buy a set. I'm not a very informed tool shopper anymore. I bought most of what I need...

Do tell; what is the source of that grid material? Inquiring minds . . .

I think I've seen that exact quote on a tomb stone.

Just read this whole thread. I'm exhausted. It's all been said and I can't say it any better, but I'll just ad my thanks and congratulations on a super build. I hope whoever finds that unit, in some future millennium, has an appreciation of the detailed craftsmanship. One question, I didn't...

Thank you 3bay. I think you've nailed it. Snap-On brand explains why they look well made.

Any help from the "after work" crowd?

I haven't been on GJ long enough to know if this is a faux pas but, I'd keep an eye on FleeBay for such things. Anything can happen there.
