    Great vehicles to see. I did notice a difference in baseplates on our SPO10....I'm in earthquake country, so maybe there is a difference in models?

    Nobody found a vein of gold digging around "Coarsegold?" Set up a sluicebox and you can fund a bigger shop if you get lucky!

    Help with trans jack ID and caster removal

    Hi Fellas, Need some help with the ID of this ****** jack. My dad's (RIP) old jack from the shop. Also, any thoughts on how to remove the casters from the mounts? I tried using a drift and some persuasion, but they dont budge. They resemble the old Lisle style metal casters. Thanks! -Jimmy

    20x21 Garage build 2011, follow along start to finish while my wallet bleeds!

    Sorry to hear of your trials and tribulations regarding the garage door. I had never seen a window options other than the little oval slots that go into each slat rather than the ones you have with the windows that span across what looks like 4 slats. I can't possibly see how it fits up into...

    work benches... from scratch

    Ever have the need to get the grinding equipment out of an otherwise clean area of the shop?

    Jackstand storage ideas?

    Thanks guys....keep the ideas and photos coming. Indeed, I've always been leery of earthquakes....my dad owned a shop in San Francisco when the 89 World Series quake occurred. He had one car up on a 4 post and luckily, it just swayed a bit and sloshed the oil all around. We just kept the...

    Jackstand storage ideas?

    I have about 8 regular styled jackstands that I use on a regular basis, but when I am storing them on the floor they take up some valuable space. They don't nest together easily or neatly, and I'm curious as to how others are storing multiple jackstands. Any ideas other than using a shelf...
