hi all
this is a modification done to my garage door as the door is quite heavy to open and close, so i hacked it and motorized it with old 2hp single phase ac motor and a reduction gear box which i got from the scrapyard.

i was planing to add a remote to open and close the door but got busy to the end of this project but i will do that soon.

this project was inspired by " make it extreme " channel.

this project took 4 days in total to complete where 2 days was just for wiring as the motor used was a 4 pole single phase motor and there wasn't any info on the internet, so it took some time to figure it out.

if anyone have any question leave a comment.

here is the video of the build

Always fun to watch people re-purpose things into cool stuff. I just don't think I would be able to mig weld in sandals

Make It Extreme has some of the coolest projects and some of the best video/audio editing I've seen for a DIY'er. My fav part about that guy is he half asses a lot of stuff until he finishes it up and then the results are jaw dropping. You also drop your jaw watching some of the not so practical methods he does too like watching him drill a hole. I cringe sometimes
