This is a high pressure pump and an assemblage of cylinders that I put

might need it this week. I put it together.

It saved our ass today, as the machine that I tried to lift today was
not only too heavy to lift (70,000 lbs), but also GLUED to the floor
with epoxy. (!!!)

Nice little setup. Cute mini-rams.

The white shop floor is a great idea. I painted mine white 14 years
ago and have loved it. Dropped parts are much easier to find and the
shop is a lot brighter as a result. After I get mine cleared out,
it's time to repaint it.


Yes, I agree, nice if you can afford it etc

I used floor paint rather than epoxy, at 1/3 to 1/2 the price. It has
lasted quite well. It added a minimum of 25% light (when there was
floor to reflect it), which amazed and pleased me. But finding tiny
metal springs and clips (Jesus Clips, as in "Jesus, where'd that
little thing go?") is made exponentially easier. Metal blends in too
well with gray crete floors.
