Nice project. Just curious what do you think will be the big use of this in your shop?

Lifting a heavy materials or tools that a single person can't. 🙂

Ah ok iniisip kasi if you have a cart it can also transport heavy things and it's more agile kasi medyo mas less ung space na kailangan... So I guess this will lift heavy things from the ground up?

Hey bro, this will really be a great and very useful project for a metal shop. Been wanting and planning to fabricate one
for the shop. Got already the 10 foot I-Beam for the top portion and planning to buy some c-channels for the legs and its
base. This will surely aide and save my aging back when lifting some heavy stuff around the garage. :2thumbsup:

Just posted this link for inspiration:

Glad to hear there are members like you like to build the same. this is very useful (if needed) but space consuming. A busy shop lifting moving in and out is way to go.

Yes, I know bro JayL was also planning to build one for his auto shop before, I just don't know if he has done it already,
he hasn't been participating here in the forum for quite sometime now so I have no idea anymore. :dunno:

That's an excellent cold saw right there. The price is great too! :agree:

I have the Bosch GCO 200 the most powerful of its class and happy with it but when I acquired and use this saw I never get back. 🙂
