Love this site,just joined

[Rick Q.]

Hello, I am constantly working on something on my house or cars. Just finished a complete gutting and rebuild on my kitchen. Electric,plumbing, tile and wood work. ( 6 long months). Saved 30k !

Now I am taking a break so I bought myself a 9k, four post car lift. Also a Mig 140 , 70 amp stick welder. Down the road either a AC 225 or a Tig. I am determined to become a welder.
Future projects are :
1.Building a boom crane for lifting trusses ( building a 12x16 gambrel shed ).
2. Building a winch that mounts to the bed of my 96 F-150 bed ( along the top rails). Used for
Pulling old JD or Wheel Horse tractors into the truck.
3. Build attachments for my small loader.
Really impressed with the skills and knowledge on this site!

Hi Rick,

Welcome!

Congrats on completing what sounds like a really extensive kitchen project! Let's see some pics…

I've been thinking about a 4-post lift, myself, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Lots of car guys here…

Which of your planned projects will be next?

Hi Rick - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Nice "break", you'll fit in well here.

Do you see any good examples of a crane, winch, or loader attachments that you see here?

Those aren't trifling projects, Rick. We'd like to see all of them. Glad you joined us!
