The picture upload worked! Here is a picture of the inside of one of the stables with the current “horse” - my dad’s old Wrigley truck which spent a good twenty years in daily use in his greenhouses in Guernsey before he retired from growing flowers. It now gets a bit of use shifting stuff...

Partly as a test to see if I can upload photos, here is a shot of the stables in the snow. The stables are either side of the stable door - you can only see one side (with the arched window).

That's fantastic.

I’ll try to do that! The garage has a bit of history. I think back in the day it would have housed a proper vintage car (would have been state of the art then of course). It used to have a pair of sliding doors - the tracks are visible in the floor. There’s even an old petrol pump and, I...

Unfortunately I don’t think a beam underneath is possible (or at least would be too big a job). I wanted to use the space above the garage, because I thought it would be fun to embark on a new hobby making sawdust upstairs, whilst carrying on with one of my other pastimes of tinkering with a...

No, I’m listening to everyone. Particular thanks for your considered and expert input. I’ll certainly be having a look to see what I can do in terms of reinforcement/re-thinking. Thanks again.

Thanks Trevanion I’m certainly not planning to load it up that much! I couldn’t get that sort of machinery up there even if the floor was up to the job! Anyway, the diet starts tomorrow (homer) ...

Thanks. Very helpful.

This came up on the thread about the Baileigh table saw review - I thought I'd start a new thread to avoid that one drifting. That saw weighs around 200kg and in asking how feasible it would be to get it up some stairs to a room above my garage, I was prompted to think about whether the floor...

Lots on ebay. E.g.: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M4-M5-M6-M8- ... ctupt=true As for actual shops you can walk into and buy stuff like that off the shelf, I'm not sure. Axminster would have been one I would have tried.

Thanks. I'll take a proper look and may report back for further advice...

Thanks - where there's a will there's a way! I think the floor should be OK.

(First post on this forum) Thanks for the review. I'm having a look at table saw options and this one looks really interesting. I hadn't come across them before. Whatever I end up buying will need to go up some stairs (with a 90 degree corner) into the room above my garage. I've got the...
