Got a inspection camera from HF yesterday it is the more expensive one they sell but with insider and 20% off from the manager got it for $135. Works pretty good for what it is.

So I just searched Bendpak's site and can't find those little brackets. Anyone have a part number? Thanks, Ian

Is this the Skat upgraded that you guys are talking about. My HF cabinet is not working very well after using it only a few times.. :( http://www.tptools.com/USA-Cabinet-Gun-and-Pickup-Tube-Upgrade-Kit,2320.html?sku=us-30

Here is mine. I made it from these plans... http://blog.homedepot.com/diy-miter-saw-bench/ Ian

I have almost all my walls done in OSB in my 40x50 8' up. It does make hanging stuff up nice. Still have to finish one wall.

I use wheel chocks when jacking one end up

Ok would love to see more about how you did this. I have not used my lift for double parking yet because of having to take the ramps off.

I have the sliding BendPak jack and my only regret is that I did not get 2 :)

How well do these work? I was looking at the Eastwood ones but these are much cheaper. I have a couple non running cars trucks I need to move around every now and then, and it would make putting them tighter to wall easy... Thanks, Ian

Yeah I think the waste oil is the way to go and I got a quote for around 7k installed plus tax I could swing the cost but wow that is a lot of money up front. I may wait to see how this new business takes of this winter then save up the oil and money for next winter. I might be able to get it...

Have no idea of the trusses are "rated" for ceiling as they were site built and not "engineered" I know I can hang my 250lb body off them and they don't flex... Putting up a ceiling would involve moving all the lights and maybe the garage opener for the big door. I am thinking about getting a...

When I lived in upstate NY we had a 30x50 or so block garage that you could park school buses in and we heated it with a single barrel wood stove kit and a torpedo heater I remember being out there working on the old race car in almost a t-shirt :) That was 15-16 years ago are the torpedo...

What would be the best way to put a ceiling up? The rafters are 10' apart, would I need to stud them up? Some days hind sight is 20-20 I built the shop thinking it would be storage and work space, now I want to make my living out there and it is already getting cold down here in Arkansas lol...

Yeah it is only going to be me working out here, and most of what I will be working on is "project" type work so should not be opening and closing the doors too many times a day.

Yeah don't want to loose floor space, I think wall mounted would be best, no natural gas but can get propane. Budget is sort of open right now. No windows that open but have clear plastic siding at the top of the back wall.

Yeah ridge and soffits are open. We had the gas fire radiant heaters in the last on the ceiling. I was afraid that was going to be the issue going so big and open. So far this year it has not gotten too cold yet, but there are 3- 4 months left and I am trying to make a living out here now. The...

Don't plan on insulating any time soon.. Plus with the hight of the rafters I don't think it would help much. I know in the last truck shop I worked in that was 6 bays and almost 100 feet deep we were able to keep it warm enough to work in with radiant heat as long as we kept the doors shut. I...

The only insulation is the double bubble and the doors. I do the oil change on the yellow peterbilt that is parked in the shop every 1-1.5 months and that is 10 gal of waste oil at a time, also do the oil changes on my 3 other cars and tucks. No natural gas on the property could get propane...

So my shop has been done for about 2 years and this will be the first full winter working full time in the said shop. Wish I had done more reading when I was planing and I would have put in floor heat. It is a metal sided pole barn. I have a 14' door and 3 9' doors. No ceiling how big a heater...

I just read the whole thread and wish I had read it before building my shop 2 years ago. Looks great! I still don't have all my outlets run yet. Or my air plumbed but you have gave me ideas :) Ian
