lol, that's the outside sq ft, the bench is another 2 ft, so less than 14 feet in length inside [My pick-up is 22']. I've learned to do things in cramped conditions, make things fit. Garbage cans sit on my ATV jack, a painted piece of 3/4 ply in between. I didn't build the building and can't go bigger....back yard is mostly tile bed for the septic. Wife was here for ten years before I met her. Built a wood shop behind it to keep sawdust out of garage…more corded tools.
Jack of all trades, welder/fabricator, maintenance, wood worker, painter, airbrush artist, sign maker, ex trucker, equipment/towmotor operator, beer drinker.
What I'm not... a mechanic-but mechanically inclined, electrician, cook, grammar/english teacher ....my buddies laugh and call it arts and crafts. Then come lookin' for a free-bee.

Thanks man.
I guess I could have done Can-Am or Thomas or some other logo...but I've owned Ford, Chevy, Polaris, Yamaha, Toyota, Mazda, Volks ... so a tool logo seamed to fit.

Got it hung...no spiders Dave.
In hind sight I wish the grain of the plywood was going the other way [free-bee 3/4 ply]. Could have made the fingers an inch longer, was worried about them breaking off.

Just need a 1:24 Dewalt #20 Nascar Cup car diecast on the shelf by the radio.

The table makes things soo much easier.
The dogs are from lee valley and the holes are lazered out dead square in 3/4” plate.
I based the top on a Festool multifunction wood table. The festool clamps work but are expensive. I’ve modded some cheap quick grips for a 1/3 rd the price.

I have receiver tube running on both sides , so the plan is to make 2” sq tube with the vise mounted to it and the same for the bench sander, grinder chop saw etc.

Once I get it all sorted out I’ll strip it down and paint the bottom half.

And yes galvanized is nasty... I wear a respirator and keep shop air flow moving.

Good on the respirator, I galviconed myself once bad....teeth actually chatter.
Have not welded that chit since, I just buy more steel instead of galvanized stuff.

Wicked table.

Looks suspiciously like a P4D DIRS for a Mopar......

Yup it is one of the the parts put in. Looking back on thread i see you got same. So far it feels like the new design works even better then the original. Car seems to be hooking better and even less wiggle now then before.

I find the wheel hop at 60-80k is less, but still there. I’m thinking wider rep wheels and some drag radials. Are you running decent rubber? The stock Pirelli’s are good, but really not great.

 

[Great Pumpkin]

Running 305 mickey's on rear and stock size indy 500 on front. Using the Replika rims. Stock rims and Pirelli's are for storage only. I have a set of stock sized mickey's from break in. They only have 2000 km on them. In good shape still. Their biggest torture was from rolling at the 65-70 km mark. The right rubber does seem to make good diff on these cars.

Ok so i guess in 93 when the garage was built a neighbor "jack of all trades master of none" did the wiring. I want to add a 220 for a welder and looking at this i might need some help i don't know what is what. The 2 15 amps that are down are for the compressor 1 for furnace 1 for garage door rest for 120 plugs.

This is the house panel

Maybe the same person? lol

So you have 4 circuits for existing receptacles, and you want to combine them and feed them from just 2 breakers to create two spares for the welder?

-first note: You are not suppose to have any splices in the panel, and also not suppose to double lug two wires on a breaker.

Assuming the walls are all sheeted on the inside, the easiest way to keep things to code might be to do the required splicing in a junction box above the panel.

Second note: Install the new welding breaker in the position next to the compressor. It won’t work if you shift over the overhead door breaker like you indicated in your picture. The 2 pole breaker needs to connect to the 2 different phases. This may make more sense when you start pulling out the old breakers and have a look at the actual buss work of that panel.

I'm tired of fighting to straighten out parts and press out bearings, so I'm pretty excited to pick one of these up after work toady! I wish I could afford a 50ton but I think this 30 will do just fine.

What gauge wire for the 220?

I see about the compressor breaker so i cant run another double 15. What can i do now. Is there a single breaker that can handle the welder 220? Or do i call an electrician and start from scratch.
