s5RX7 Very Nice!

Nice work!

Nice work!:thumbup: Thanks for posting the the thought process and analysis behind the build. I'm still paranoid though and would probably put some front supports in. Just in case something heavy gets put on the bench, or who knows what happens. (then again I tend to over build, that's why I...

If you can make the building 64' long, I would do that and use all 4' on the car work area. Then put in 2, 9' wide doors (8' tall or more if 4wd vehicles or trucks and vans are in the mix.) At 20' wide, the car work area will be tight for a second vehicle after a lift is installed. If a...

Shopnut; I have reached a major milestone in your thread. After countless hours of productive reading (as opposed to non productive wasted time) :D over the last couple of weeks, I have reached the halfway point of your thread. (page 91) Several times I wanted to ask questions, but just kept...

RX; After looking at the picture again, it was an optical illusion. The front wall of the pit looked like it was horizontal and covering the opening. I thought you had made some removable covers so the jacks wouldn't accidentally fall in the opening. Sorry for the confusion.

RXTacy; Thanks for the size information. I just want 14' between the open gates, so that should be a minor increase in spacing. I think the material you used will be fine. i currently have a wooden fence (hate wood fences) with a 10' double gate supported by 6x6 posts with a light metal frame...

Airbrush; Not knowing your location, that is a tough question to answer. Heat, humidity, rain, snow, Sun, all affect exposed equipment. I've had the same thought myself about an outdoor installation. Here in the south I've seen a couple full size 2 post installations outside with a tall metal...

RXtacy; Nice clean shop! Just read through the process. A couple more questions about your gates: What bearings did you use? Got a link? I'm assuming they are designed for outdoor use. Is that a 12' wide gate? Very clean look. I need to do something similar in a 12 to 14 foot width. For a 14'...

Hobart EZ Tig 165, Around $1,400 http://www.weldingsuppliesfromioc.com/hobart-ez-tig-165i-tig-welder-500551/?utm_source=shopzilla&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=3038&utm_campaign=product-ads&dfw_tracker=3952-3038

I've always found that once I have power somewhere, I come up with more things I can use the power for. I would run the 10/3 at 220. However, since you don't have the same requirements, I would at least install the 10/2 and the 20 amp breaker. It'll give you maximum use from 110v.

Kevin; That is awesome! 6 months start to "finish" is an incredibly short time!:bowdown: Just goes to show what good planning and a clear vision for the end result can do. I just "invested"/wasted :lol: the greater part of 2 days free time reading through this thread and learned a number of...

Now that is cool, I would like to find one of these. I'm endeavoring to work quieter.

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46) Scott; Love the building plan, thanks for sharing. And, I'm jealous of the sink, I'll have to check out the surplus place, next time I get to Newnan. The boss wants one for her laundry and I want one for the shop. Guess who gets first pick?:argue:

Nice Work.:bowdown: Another shop project, just what I need! LOL:lol: :thumbup:

Nice garage,, and a GREAT piece of wall art!

Thanks for the Link, That was incredible!

Mitch; To quote a saying; "You done Good!!" I spent a leisure evening and some breakfast time reading through your thread. Very informative and entertaining. I will admit it was the name of your shop that hooked me into starting the read, but your story was fascinating.:bounce: One question...

My daughter was always in my shop when she was growing up. She graduated from High school and had her Associates degree by 17 and a half. Got a job, moved out, her first request was for a drill, as none of her room mates could fix anything!!:rocker: So start 'em young! As far as RPM, I'll...

Paul, Welcome to the Asylum! Looks like you've got a great start. Is that a vinyl roll of flooring? You did a nice job fitting it to the contours.:thumbup:
