Shorty's Chop Shop is kinda catchy.


:underchair:

You suck

Lol!

Greg, whatever you end up with name-wise, the place is killer!
Every man needs a sanctuary, or hiding place. I love every thing you've done with this building, I only hate the idea of having to go for a drive to go to the shop, but you explained earlier how it's not a biggie for you, so it's cool.
One question for you though, does the big ole' fan wobble like some I've seen?
I walk into my local Walmart garden center where they have them up on the beams, and one of theirs wobbles terribly.

Scott -- thanks for the kudos....



AND NO -- it's smooth as a babies behind.... no vibration at all.

We had a big I-Beam welded to the truss system... and the truss system itself was built for a gantry crane - so the mount is pretty dang solid to say the least... but you don't hear or see anything except the fan going round -- slow or full blast.

Full blast is 100 RPMS... and that doesn't seem like much - but with a 12 diameter -- that baby is humming right along!!

The couple days I was there running it -- and cleaning up the race cars -- I was running it at 50 to 60 rpms (the controller is digital and you just raise or lower it where you want). At 50 RPMS it's just kool --- at 60 RPMS you begin to feel a breeze... at 100 - you'd best have stuff strapped down! LOL

It's amazing how much air this thing moves! And it's silent.

Yes sir, with that kind of diameter, it doesn't have to turn fast to move a lot of air.
Do you already have a move in date for the home? Expected time of completion?

We have kinda sorta a completion date.... The builders are smart asses - like me - maybe that's why we get along? When you ask them when it will be done - they respond - "when it's done". It's a large full custom build - weather can be a real factor in the mountains... so it's really anybodies guess. It was "thought" that we might make it for Xmas of 2015.


The shop is ready to roll right now! Other than the floors being painted at the end of the month - we're good to start moving that stuff. The movers think they'll have the shop equipment moved by mid July.

I see your friends really "like" you, huh Greg? lol
:bump:

I don't think he needs the signs. ha

I think I must agree!!


LOL

Best high end shop I ever visited....located up a hill in the NAPA Valley with great views.......owned by a gentleman named.......I swear to god this is TRUE! Dick Long.....name of the shop " Dick's Rod Shop " best name EVER!:lol:

Nice build on your shed, if I ever move to my property in Meridian, ID......I'm thinking I'll need one of those fans.....nice!
