Mighty fancy.

Nice place you have there.

I'm still waiting to see your awesome stairway

that's a lot of the reason to get the shop finished as I need a place to work on things. I was working in the house but now we're living in it that's not very doable.

Picked up these 2 workbenches along with the vise and the sheet steel under the vise for $300 today. I might resell the vice as it would be the 3rd bigger vice I have.

[ak diesel driver]

Sorry Simon missed your reply, they are sorta owner owned you buy it and then trade it in for a full one. Also got my compressor up on my bathroom today too.

I was leasing tanks for 15+ years until it got up to over $100/year for the 2 tanks because there was no nearby source for exchange tanks. Finally, 8 months ago, there was a source and I cancelled the lease. $550 for the (2) full tanks but next time I can exchange them for less than $100. Should have done it years ago instead of pi$$ing away money

Congrats Les, that's a 2 post lift? I'm keeping m eye open for a 4 post. I don't want to drill holes in my concrete with the water lines.

I have tubing in my slab as well but I put in a 2x4 1/4" plate with rebar welded off of it making it look like a spider. The plate has holes with nuts welded to it and some 1" conduit welded to the plate to keep out the concrete. I've been planning this for quite some time
