I'm turning it into a cafe racer. Here are some pics to show the adjustability in height of my bottle jack...

I've been mostly working on my shop and done some small projects for clients. At the same time I like to customize my bikes. This is were the wheeling machine...

I recently purchased a 4x8 CNC plasma cutting table and thought about how to store and easily load sheet metal onto this new piece of equipment. I am a one man show and need to find ways to handle material without getting hurt. After some research, this is what I came up with! http://i296.photobucke...

Here is my contribution in regards to tubing racks. Its mobile and has worked well so far! Front for tubing, back for sheets and plate. http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm189/wolfraidermn/Bike%20Shop/Tubing%20Rack/20150213_150807.jpg http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm189/wolfraidermn/Bike%20Sho...

I love to work on bikes and do a lot of modding, but not for a living!

Good idea! I've been thinking about something along these lines.

After drilling the top plates and beam, I was able to weld the plates and braces to the main posts. Alignment of these components was crucial! http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm189/wolfraidermn/Bike%20Shop/Gantry%20Crane/20160317_115711.jpg I wanted to add a little color to my shop, this being a ...

Here is what I found and what the design is based upon:

I was is desperate need of some lifting equipment for my little shop, and after researching different options and cost, I decided to build my own gantry crane. Got some good 2000 lb wheels for starters http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm189/wolfraidermn/Bike%20Shop/Gantry%20Crane/Casters.jpg A fri...

I've had mine for a year and a half and it has performed flawlessly on everything up to 3/8" mild steel.
Works as advertised, spool gun as well!

I like your space saving cart!

That's a great built, xwrench!
It's nice to build two at the same time! Good for you and your buddy!
Just ordered my belt grinder from Beaumont on Thursday and should have it next Tuesday.
I'm excited to have finally a good grinder in my shop!

Very nice and compact!

After completing my miter dry cut saw I was so excited to use it, that I bought a lot of tubing to build tables, stools, etc. The tubing ended up on the floor and it bothered me to no end, bending down to pick up material. At the same time all the cut off pieces had no real place to go either. So I ...

DennisZ wrote:Wow what an awesome project! Just one question, why didn't you use the ridgid saw?

The rpm's are too high for the metal cutting blades I wanted to use.
1,800 rpm is the fastest you can go to use these.

Very contemporary and very nicely done!
He'll never need another bed. It'll last a lifetime and then some!

Thanks guys, very kind of you!

Very nice!!!

That has to be one of the most impressive adaptions I've seen. What did the cost come in and besides the fun you had, how would it compare to a cold cut (coolant) saw? Total cost for saws, tooling, materials, everything else, close to two grand plus 30 hours for thinking and building. I've never ha...
