Anyone build a belt grinder bigger than a 2x72?

A couple years ago I added a 220 single phase sub panel in the garage. Everything is worked well, but now I'm starting to get three phase equipment. I plan to get a phase perfect, 7.5 horsepower or 10 horsepower version. After that connection, I want to run it to a subpanel. And I just found one...

So I bought this drill press for $700 and did not realize until I was already picking it up, how large and heavy it was. Hell of a deal, but the real cost is moving the item. Even my beefed up shop crane has no chance, if I could get it under a pallet jack Maybe. The guy had a crane put it on...

So I've had a really hard time finding something to keep things like brooms, rakes, weed wackers and hedge clippers off the floor. Originally I had a 2x10 screwed into the framing and then added hooks. But I recently picked up welding and I was looking for an excuse to build something and...
