I have had this old platen table for years. I was in an antique tractor and engine club and traded an old hit and miss engine for the slab itself. I had a pile of 5x5x5/16 angle iron around and built the base from that. It's been a great table and you can really do some heavy things with it. I...

Right on, yea it'll be fun to have a setup at home. Hopefully we have a lot of use with family and friends.

I guess the original file sizes were too big. Here's a few shots of the sport court I added behind the shop recently. In the spring, I'll install a 6' black chain link fence with a 4' or so man gate on each end, and an overhead lighting system that I have pre-wired. The kick-out in the middle of...

Added a volleyball / pickleball / half-court basketball court on the backside, I'll wrap it up in the spring with hoop, net, fence and lighting. Can't seem to get pictures uploaded... EDIT: got pics up below....

Same to you!

Same to you!

First maintenance and a good detail on the Toyota Tacoma. Getting a lot of use out of the Rotary 12K.

Working on the '65. Another shot of before the lift was installed. Been making it nice.

Hi Jim, thank you! It's been a lot of time and work continuing to put the building together but I have really enjoyed it. I get a lot of family and friends over here too which has been the biggest blessing, we have fun in all kinds of things, and of course there's "bench racing" hahaha...

The shop has 18' walls, ceiling below the room on the shop floor is 9' to the bottom of the joists. The finished ceiling height in the upstairs room is roughly 8'. The attic trusses above that (6/12 pitch), allowed for a 15x12 room, and I think it's 7' height in the center but I'll have to...

Haha yea I am. I cheated though, I used old photos just for fun. Hopefully anticipating some snow after the first of the year. Just thought I'd pop on and say "hi"!

'Tis the season!

Thank you.

Hoisted the big rig tonight, lift did great! I'm glad I went with the extra capacity 12K model when the truck is over my head haha. Looking now into getting a couple post jacks and trans jack.

First car up... Working great so far! Life only gets better from here haha...

All wired up, adjusted and bled, she's working perfectly! Haven't loaded a car yet, late night of setup last night and coffee jitters this morning so time for chow!! This thing seems like a really nice unit though and operates smooth so far, I've cycled it several times and fine tuned the...

Oh man, thank you for that compliment, I appreciate that. haha I don't have much choice in using these equipment a lot of the time when I'm moving stuff around, I fight my back like crazy. Haven't taken the best care of myself and at almost 42 I wake up feeling 80 haha! I moved those 7 8"x8" 16'...

I got the lift bolted down tonight. That first hole was a little stressful but after that it was smooth sailing haha! I also ran and adjusted the equalizer cables, routed and connected hydraulic hoses, and the interlock cable. Bought some ISO-32 hydraulic fluid to get it purged and bled. A buddy...

Getting there...
