I'm working on the design for a shop for myself. I'd like to investigate having a "flapper" in each roll-up door like those I have seen in service station roll-up doors for years. The idea is that a

Thanks to everyone who replied here and privately. The 8/32" setup works so we measured the 6/32" mandrel. It's out of spec (too small diameter) which is likely what is allowing the threads to pull t

I have one and like it. The two best features are: (1) big wheels don't get hung up on small floor debris and (2) it sits really low so you can get underneath vehicles that aren't up very high. --Ken

That type of coating sounds promising. GM used something similar in the 60s to coat pieces of "bright trim". The black coating remains somewhat pliable (but not gooey) and is reasonably easy to peel

I personally find 2-post lifts to be a pain in the butt. The little bit of joy they give me for suspension work is outweighed by the negatives (as Mike Lee outlined in his post). Additionally, for th
