I'd appreciate some input on my beam sizing and proper spans, something just seems wrong to me. I'm building a mezzanine or storage loft along the back wall of my pole building. I already have a 12x12 office I built in one of the back corner with a loft on top, what I'm doing is extending the...

Long story short, I bought a very used Big Red Air ( SnapOn brand) for $200, got it all back together. I'm wondering if it meets performance specs after I honed cylinders and put new rings in. It is Ingersol Rand 2340 pump and 80 gallon tank. It took 2 min 45 seconds to cycle, 140psi to cut...

Picked up a BRA618A compressor. It's a 6hp baldor motor, Ingersoll-Rand 2340 pump. 80 gallon tank. I have a smaller 3.5hp 60 gal U.S. General compressor that works fine, but this was a good deal. Someone wired the presure switch to a 120 plug, and removed the wiring from the pressure switch...

Brought home a brand new Atlas Pro-9,000 lift. As expected and reported by others, the instructions stink. The reason I went with a 4 post is I wanted the rock solid stability and assurance of a 4 post. I did go for a rolling jack so it will be a useful tool. My concrete is about 3 years old...

I'm days away from pulling the trigger on a two post lift, or tapping out and buying a 4 post. My question relates to concrete and that's why I'm hesitant today. I had what should be a 4" span poure about 2 years ago. It is 48x40 poke building. There is no metal at all, they used fiberglass...

I've gone back on forth between buying an old compressor like a Quincy QT54 and rebuilding it or buying a new one. Thing is, I have a 2hp motor I bought a long time ago, 1750 rpm, continuous duty nema 145t mounting pattern 7/8" keyed shaft 110/230v. I found a bare 80 gallon horizontal tank...

Been following this site for some time, it is about time for me to finalize my plans and get going. I have a little chunk of land that is big enough for 40' wide and 60 deep. I hear nobody ever said, "boy, I wish my barn was smaller", so that's my footprint. This will be used for general...

Hello everybody! New here and hoping to get some ideas to incorporate into my new project. I'm currently stuck in a three car tandem garage with way too many vehicles, tools, storage items competing for space. Mainly the 1970 K5 Blazer and the full size 1989 K5 are taking up the majority of the...
