Danger 31 Report post Posted February 15, 2016 Hey man. Previous tenant had a huge acid bath for stripping varnish off furniture. There's a clean air intake above that workbench. Rather than go through the hassle of removing it I'm gonna turn that corner into a booth to contain all overspray/ welding sparks etc. I may have a buyer for the rx4. The area its in now is where my chev will be going Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zero 1160 Report post Posted February 16, 2016 Nice work Danger. Are you leasing the garage or do you own it? Reason I ask is because it would be ideal to dynabolt those bottom plates down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danger 31 Report post Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Nice work Danger. Are you leasing the garage or do you own it? Reason I ask is because it would be ideal to dynabolt those bottom plates down. Just leasing although the owner is happy for me to do whatever I like. I've dynabolted everything to the sides so its quite stable, not that I claim to be a builder. I'd like to put some sockets in the floor for a couple of eyes to help me winch dead cars into the workshop as its up a ramp. I'm a bit concerned about the floor strength though as there is a workshop below mine. The big extractor flume is dynabolted down but they would only have to be shallow unlike a 20mm socket to fit an M16 eye bolt Edited February 16, 2016 by Danger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zero 1160 Report post Posted February 16, 2016 Danger - I would imagine eyes in the floor would crack the concrete or pull out completely if you tried to pull a car to it via a winch. Just my opinion though. If you do try something, get the sockets as deep into the concrete as you safely can. I would still recommend dynobolting the bottom plates to the floor though. Looks like a great space, and I'm sure you can make that extractor system work for you. Maybe useful for a painting booth? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was gonna put two 20mm sockets in the floor with a chain between themto spread the load. Yeah I'll be making a booth area, still open ceiling but it'll cut down the worst of the overspray. I have approximately one million projects that need paint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a shame you are in Dunedin or I would have come over and helped you out (I'm a chippy). Its an awesome garage - I'm very jealous. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
