yes it has worked really well for me, I have had a 2600lb load on it and it rolled like it was empty, I leave it at 12' when its in the garage, The only time I lower it is when I take it out the door, then it is 10' if I had to do it over I would used air rams, may still replace them with that and a air or electric hoist, this was a budget build and works good as is

My wife bought me a whole shop of woodworking tools. I made her a............................................wait for it...................................................................................................................................rolling pin!


I'd show a photo but I hid it so she wouldn't bonk me with it.

I had a laundry tub sink with a wood countertop and some wood shelves above it.

I found this old 12-gauge cabinet for $78.50 and cut it up.

I used it to make the upper cabinets, lower cabinets and countertop for my new (more-compact) shop sink.

I used a circular saw with a metal cutting blade and a jigsaw with a bimetal blade. And my grinders.

All the middle was gone -- just the top and bottom here.

The back became the countertop.

The smaller cabinet on the side was made out of pieces of the middle. I harvested the latch and locking hardware from a smaller old cabinet I'd junked.

The backsplash was made out of 1/8" steel from a table I cut up.

The top cabinets are set up like apartment-house mailboxes. They were made out of the divider piece inside the old cabinet.

With a little paint on it, it almost looks too nice for a garage.

It's all made of 12-gauge steel, with aluminum for the horizontal edge pieces and stainless for the sink.

I didn't have any kind of plan -- not even a drawing for it. So I was pretty relieved that it came out okay.

This was my first welding project ever. I just purchased my HTP welder and plasma and...well - the beginning of the fence isn't as pretty as the end. All solid stock pickets and tube posts. I then tackled the gates. Then I fired the plasma for a hot tub surround and made it out of sheet steel cut to look like wood. All in all 4 months of my time but a lot of fun and in my mind a great way to learn to weld and plasma.

 

[santagary]

Wow! Great transformation! Of course, it's wonderfully consistant and theme correct...can't wait for a whole garage shot so I can update my computer wallpaper!

It might take a fish-eye lens to take it all in.

Hey PGREEN -
Love the Super 7. You will enjoy it. I had a '64 series 2 - wish I never sold it. Consider adding a turbocharger from a 2.3L Ford motor while you are in the build stage.

Can't... This will be an SCCA racer. We have specific engine rules. This will have a 1500 Ford from the era.

I do know a guy that had (or has?) a 'Busa engine in his street Lotus7. Very nice fit.

I made all the wooden shutters for my holiday home in France in my garage, this is one of the three single ones for the smaller windows. There are also three that are pairs of two shutters.

I also made the wooden doors for the temporary kitchen, it'll do until I get round to making a better one once we've tiled the floor.

Also built the extension for the top of my trailer in there.

 

[NASTYZEN]

Aw man those old stone places just make me weak at the knees!Nice metal work.

 

[lilredex]

A few WW projects:

















And a sheet metal proj.



Most of this stuff was made from salvaged lumber or odds and ends that were around the garage.

These are amazing good work.

Nice job on all of those!

 

[rickairmedic]

These are amazing good work.

Thank Doc all scrollwork done with the HF scroll bender after modding it a little with the grinder so it made nice rounded scrolls. The one you pointed out has a Plexiglass top on it all others have a ceramic tile for the top usually 16 or 18" tiles. Oddly enough they were all welded up with a cheap POS HF 110 volt Mig as well. I have upgraded to a 220 Volt welder and sold the 110 Volt HF for what I paid for it .

Are there holes to put pins in to lock the risers? or do you depend on the hydraulic jacks not to leak down or fail? I see one hole way up high in each side, but don't see any other holes or any lock pins, but possibly I'm missing something.
