Desert Rat Forge

The Shop

Working a RR spike with my BigBlu 110lb air hammer.

Irons in the fire.

Oct 2011 - I'm moving my shop into/next to a cargo container.  Here's how I got the roof raised.  The procedure can easily be reversed when I move to a permanent home.

The 20 by 20ft roof was built on the ground.
It is attached to the container with two 10ft long poles on hinges.

Two come-alongs were used to raise the poles up to the container.

The poles were bolted to the top of  the container and the roof is ready to
be pivoted up.

Made in the shade!
