Hi all, I'm looking at putting up a 36Wx60L poleshed with 14 ft walls. I would like to add an upstairs area using attic trusses. My location would likely require 16 on centers for snow load. I'm just curious if anyone has used attic trusses on a poleshed? Can't say I've ever seen it done in...

Since I brought this cart home from work, it's become a catch-all. I'm looking to make it into a bodywork tool cart (not paint, but only metal-work), and so I'm looking for pics of others, and various ideas. So far I've got plastic bins for holding 2" and 3" roloc discs, and blairs cutters.

Hi all, I'm looking at putting up a pole shed in the next year, and am considering a wood floor in a 16x20 section of it for a truck project. I want it removable for when I can afford to have the concrete poured. This a crazy idea? Any suggestions to making it work, I'm all ears. Thanks...

size being equal, 30 x 40, 12 foot walls, a 16 foot door on one end, an 8 foot door on the other end. stick built would be 2x6x10 foot on top of 3 course of block equaling 12 ft. pole building would be 12 foot walls, fully insulated. What would be cheaper overall in the end? Differences, if...

Not so much for total car projects, but it would be nice to have a stand alone shop for doing wood-working projects and all the other little things that living in the country presents. Curious if anyone else has such a shop with a wooden floor, and how it was constructed?

I'll spare the details for later, but what I have is 3/4" black pipe that tees into a vertical 3/4" line outside in an unheated shed, where my blasting cabinet is, and an end line for a blasting pot. I'm in Northern MN, it gets a bit chilly here. I'd like to know how others have plumbed for an...

I've considered looking for a used Car-O-Liner pull machine or similar, minus the towers, but even an old used one is spendy. I've got the resources for big steel at work, and can get one built. Has anyone re-created one and able to use the rocker panel pinch clamps? All I need is to make one...

Maybe a dumb question, and kinda hard to explain, but here it goes. I've got a trail that goes out back through the woods, behind my house and mound system. It's just wide enough to drive a pickup down it, but the ground is soft, yet I plan to lay some gravel to build it up. I've managed to...

Been gathering ideas for my new shop to get built, and I'm going to make it look like a building from the 1940's. I'm thinking it'll be stick built (2x6), heated floor (MN Winters), CLF lighting like Veno, box truss for an upstairs man-cave, and will have a bump out on the front corner to...

Looking at this heater for my 24x24 garage: http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_47716_47716?cm_sp=RVC-_-Category%20Page-_-Products Now, I have a 10 foot high ceiling, non insulated because the upstairs is a loft/studio. The walls are insulated with R11, and OSB...

Out here in the sticks, there is no concrete, lol. But I'm wanting to build an area for soda and sandblasting, that will allow me to sweep up the sand and such. I don't want it too heavy that it becomes permanent, however if I put rectangle tube underneath, then a tractor or skidsteer with...

...and I'd like to use it for something. One thought is building a gantry crane for lifting and lowering my old truck cabs and beds. Another thought is building a body dolly/cart for my '62 Fairlane that needs new floor pans and such... kinda like a full frame rack I guess. Anyone done...

Looking at buying this: http://salessite.youngmonkey.ca/cgi/SalesSite.dll?Catalog?SKU=208324 It's the Blair spotweld cutter kit. It appears to use the 11000 series rotobroach bits. I have a cheapie version I've been using and the 2 sided bits don't last long. This kit has the standard 11122...

Been awhile since I've been on. Did a search on engine build stations, and not much popped up. I'm looking for some ideas for setting up a portion of my garage for engine, trans, and rear axle builds/repair. Some thoughts already are an overhead 1/4 ton jib hoist, engine stand (of course)...
