My Attached Add-On Garage Build

Please tell more!

Haha, about the car?

 

[D45]

1970 Plymouth Duster

440, 727, 8-3/4 car

It was a factory 340 car, now with a 1968 440

Finally , a welding table to work on projects with

I like the leveling feet, but I am tempted to see how casters will do also

Decided where it will live in the garage?
Casters will definitely make it easier to move.

In the back 11x15 area, where all the power tools and welder is

I was wondering if all 4 should be swivel or just two swivel?

At least two needs to be locking for sure

 

[captain14]

Can you just install 2 swivel casters and pick up the other end and walk it to where you want it? I have seen some power tools like this.

 

[D45]

That's a good idea too, but the table is pretty heavy for only being it's size

I think casters would work best, but I am having a hard time finding plate casters with a 2-1/4" spacing

I think threaded stem casters might work also, but the threaded rod I used is big.....3/4"

I picked up a vintage 2 ton Craftsman floor jack for free. Old school moss green color

After a good degreasing and adding some jack oil, its works good and doesnt leak at all

It was nice too see actually zerk grease fittings on the wheels and the pivot points

I now have 3 floor jacks........silly, but oh well, I just couldn't bear to see the vintage jack get thrown out!

Going to try an experiment this winter and currently looking at my options

In order to contain the heat better in the shop, I am going to rig up a temporary plug, from the inside roof deck, in order to cover the 6 roof vents

 

[D45]

I installed some 3/4" thick rigid poly foam board over the vent openings and so far they are working great!

The warm air seems to be staying inside the shop alot better
