Wooden Jack Stands 1 Attachment(s) For people's interest and comment. I am about to begin my 318ti project and have built myself a set of wooden jack stands after reading this: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/multi/wood-block.htm I think I have got the basic elements of what was being described but used different combination of wood - used 3 sheets of 17 millimeter ply and 100x100 wood. These are added safety - I will also be using metal jack stands at the usual points. I will try to attach pic from my phone. |
I found this 119Kbyte PDF you might find interesting that discusses safety factors for structural wood. A classmate from the University of Washington, College of Forestry once told me that his building – made of wood, of course! – would very probably be the safest one on campus in the next big earthquake: partly because of the large safety margin the builders had to assume on the off chance they had used a weak piece. |
Nice work. I am a big fan of redundant stands when I get beneath my ti. |
A bit more woodwork 3 Attachment(s) Also knocked up 4 of these to fit my metal jackstands to the car. |
Another pic 1 Attachment(s) Having trouble loading more than one pic at a time. |
Thats a good idea on the jackstand adaptors, I'll have to do that. Thank you. |
