A workshop goal finally achieved, I got myself a Hoist! It's a Joel's Garage Gear two-post 4.5t clear floor unit, details below. Thanks for watching! www.joelsgarag...
getting a hoist was one of the best things i got when i got my new shed, your probably the same as me getting to old and busted to be rolling around on the ground, ha ha
You can definitely see the satisfaction you got when you did that first lift... Priceless. The amount of work I had done off of jack stands and when I used a hoist for the first time I kicked myself for not doing it sooner. Love the vids mate keep em coming 👌
Congratulations on the hoist…wait till you start pushing 60 years old because it doesn’t get any easier lol…my coupe has been painted for over a year now and it’s still on the rotisserie because I’m trying to get as much done (being careful of weight obviously) before I drop it on its wheels and I’m doomed to be forever grovelling around on the garage floor 😢. Love your videos and builds and all the best for the new year…shed looks amazing…cheers 🍻🍻🍻
Cant believe you didn't do the raise it a foot then do the shake test. Your world just changed, I remember for years not having a hoist, could imagine not having one now. shed is getting there fella.
I’m a mechanic been one for almost 25 years use a hoist every day but at home building my own car it’s jack stands and rolling around on the floor I hate it!!! Love a hoist at home!! Loving how your garage is coming along be party central before you know it
Looking Sweet ive had my hoist for 10 years best thing i ever did, Love the coupe ive got a xb 4 door myself and know the feeling of hanging to drive it, mines been off the road for 2 1/2 years after rounding a cam lobe so now doing upgrade alloy heads etc always watch your vids cant wait to see and hear the Godzilla in the beast awesome stuff
Nearly 50 and wanted my own hoist since 17 as an apprentice...end of this year fingers crossed. Will be so nice not have to lay on concrete lol Congrats mate.
G'day from West Australia😉 Know how you feel buddy. I waited 26yrs for my first hoist in my business. Total of 43yrs working on customer cars next month. 1st hoist in 2005, second in 2012, both sold off. My 3rd hoist bought in 2021 for a building I rent. Wish I could put in a second one. ( second floor will interfere). Best investment any car guy can make, so long as roof space allows. Just watch your head on the hoist legs, they really hurt😂
Congrats on the new hoist mate. I know that feeling when you need help you can never get it so having to improvise with material handling is almost always certain to happen. Good job. Can I ask what dimensions your shed is please ?
@@Philthybuilds NIce. I'm getting ready to build one exactly that same size but with 3.6m wall height. It looks huge inside. I have a slab at the moment but they always look bigger once they're put up.
@@Philthybuilds I had some resistance from council too , but luckily they approved it. Mine is a D.A. too because I have a bathroom in one corner and it took 8 months for them to grant the approval. It has been a very frustrating process, but I'm at the steel construction stage now the concrete work is done. Just trying to wrangle a few boys to help out. Wish me 🤞
