I need a little more info. At the moment it will have 12 foot walls. I plan to install a 2 post lift. I have read several times that a 14 ft shop is necessary?

Mainly so you don't have to keep closing the hood or trunk when you raise a vehicle up. :dblthumb:

Dirt work for my shop starts next week. I'll post progress here if y'all are interested. It is going to be a 30x40 with a 12x40 awning on the east side. Front 12x12 barrel door and a rear 8x8 barrel door. Can't wait!

Why? With a 15 foot peak, shouldn't I be able to work on most anything that a 9-10k lift will hold?

Finished my "bending cart"... wasn't sure what the best terminology would be...

This cart bares the burden of:

Jd2 m3 bender with swag/harbor freight air over hydraulic
Dies-1.75, 1.625, 1.25

Harbor freight tube roller with swag wings and power drive/hydraulic kit
Dies-hf 1, 1.5, 2; swag 1.75

Eastwood bead roller that I adapted the Harbor freight pipe threader, that is used on the tube roller, to drive rather than crank. 6 dies

Northern tool small parts bender with included dies

Northern tool 12 ton press with the swag press brake kit

The swag kits are beef.

I hope the casters are big enough, this bitch got heavy quick. ..

That thing is fawkin flashemifyougotem

I'd love to have that or just bender and roller and I'd be happy awesome job on that thing bro :dblthumb:

30x40 1 walk thru door, 12x7 rollup. It was dark, so I didn't get a good outside shot.

Is that available in a kit or was it custom built?

bamatoy · Oct 15, 2013

Kit, it can be configured just about anyway youwant tho.

TacomaJD · Oct 15, 2013

Bet that wide-ass garage door wasn't very cheap lol

70Scout · Oct 16, 2013

bamatoy who did you order it from?

bamatoy · Oct 16, 2013

I used to work for the company that built my garage, T.J's Metal roofing. They can do anything from pole barns to red iron whatever you need. My shop was completed in 2 days, other than the electrical of course. I have had it about 12 years and been very pleased.

Edit: they are in Scottsboro,Al altho they have several different distributors in Alabama and Tennessee that have the same pricing.

How high is the ceiling in there? Peak looks like 10' maybe. Thats what I need at the house, I'd never leave.

bamatoy · Oct 16, 2013

7' walls 10' ceiling. I wish I would have went 9' walls 12' ceiling in case if I ever decide to add a lift

It has been a while on updates "get started on the build" for me because the weather has been uncoperative lately. Shop should have been done beginning of this month. Recent rains have come in spurts with only 2-3 days dry time not allowing the concrete guys to work. This set us back about three weeks when it finally dried up long enough to get the slab down.

Last wendnesday they came out to frame up the shop. I was on duty for a 24 hr shift that day so I was not around to make sure things were on the up and up. So I tell my daughter to text me a picture of the progress about 1 pm wednesday while I was at work. I knew I should have taken the day off. I recieve the first pic and had to make the call leaving a voice mail to the contractor saying it was all wrong and not what we had had designed. About 5 minutes later he calls me back. "****, **** ****! I ****ed up, my crew ****ed up, my name is attached to this thing, don't worry about it, I'll make it right, ****!" I said, "Cool, I wouldn't have expected nothing less, looks like you got your hands full, so I'll let you go."

My wife gets home that same evening and says it is completely cut down. Thursday, they were still tearing down the wrong shop for transport to another job. No luck getting the material to start building the correct design. Friday through monday it rained. Wed a week later, they started to build my shop. Thursday, turkey day, they are back at it today and with the exception of the doors, the job I hired out will be done tomorrow. The second pic is what it should have looked like to begin with.

40' deep 42, wide. 30x40 enclosed, 12x40 lean too under one common roof without a break for the lean too. 12 ft eves and the right side wall is 14 ft. Doing it this way gained me 2 more feet of ceiling hieght. A 2 post lift will go in the inside back right corner along the 14' wall. It is already stubbed out for water, a toilet, sink, data and electrical. I plan to lay down some floor protection, install some air lines with a compressor on the outside.

Can't wait to start getting use out of this thing!!
