One of the best things you can do for your shop or garage is install hard anchors.
Seriously, folks. How many times have you needed to move something heavy but didn't have anywhere you could fix even a ratchet strap?
One good anchor in the ceiling, for example, makes it very easy to load and unload things from the bed of your truck. While a fancy gantry crane might be nice, most of us don't have the room and really don't need such a thing very often. With an anchor in the ceiling, though, you can drive your truck under it, lift the load until it clears the bed, and then drive out from under it.
With anchors fastened to the walls in strategic locations, you can use a rope and pulley to shift heavy tools and materials all over the place.
I've lost count of the number of times I've heard guys complaining about how hard it is to move their heavy welding tables out of the way when they need the extra room. All it takes, though, is a couple of places where you can fasten a block and tackle.... and you can shift that half-ton table with ease.
Okay, maybe it's not "easy", but it's a sure sight easier than trying to manhandle it with pry-bars and choice words!
Just remember that you have to be smart. If you build your anchor points flimsy, they will rip out under load... and that makes for a very bad day. Be smart. Think it through. Overkill the design and never try to lift or shift anything that is outside of your ability and experience.

The drill press is probably one of the most useful tools to have in the shop, and one that I use more than I would ever have imagined! To make it an even more versatile tool for the shop, when we reach this goal, we will add the excellent table made by Fireball Tools, or by shop for a vintage drill press that has better features, including a larger table.
The addition of a larger table would allow for fixturing, the placement of jigs and fences, as well as supporting larger pieces. The drill press extension table sold by Fireball Tools is designed with the small shop in mind.
Of course, if you're following along here at Three Rivers Forge, I'm sure you have the same passion for old tools that I do. Adding something like a Walker Turner radial arm drill press to the shop would be an amazing step forward. I can't say if one will be available at the time, or if it'll be available at a price I can afford, but I will certainly consider it an option.
Small bricks build big walls, and little additions to the shop can make a tremendous difference in speed, efficiency, and design capabilities, as well as the overall ambience. Thank you for seeing the potential. Thank you for joining the team!

Hello friends welcome to my subscribe star page. Where you’ll have access to more personal side of my work. This is where you go to follow my works in progress. I have lived off-grid for several years now. So you will get an inside look at what our living conditions are like when you build it yourself. —————————————————————————————————————- For those who don't know I've written a 12 chapter book titled: “Zero Man - Maximalism through oil painting” that's posted on my website in the “Maximalism” tab. You'll have to go all the way to chapter 1 - the introduction to begin which is at the very end, then read backwards but it is there. I'm a novice writer but it is one of my challenges in life that I have actively been working on with more creatively. Would love your feedback. So enjoy the ride and please feel free to reach out and send me messages on any occasion. I look forward to hearing from you. Have a great day.———————————————————————————————————— Ski, ————————————————————————————————— Stevenski Brewster www.stvnski.com (917) 295-3951 (text only) Artist, Woodworking, Off-Grid Solar, Compartmentalization Specialist [email protected] email
