[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 132095, member: 3426"] As much as I would like to attach a beam to the ceiling, it would probably be a bad idea. If going to the effort to install one, it may as well extend a few feet outside the overhead door. Unfortunately that is more conducive to hauling basket cases into the garage instead of rolling finished ones out. I think a davit attached to the centre support beam would be best in my case. Pick engines up and swing them over onto the bench. Better yet.... replace the bench with a decent lathe and use the davit for changing chucks. As for the engine stand, I picked up a seat swivel for $10, so that can be added to whatever method I end up with. PS if any of the local folk are reading this, I’m in the market for a lathe. Something with lots of grunt. [/QUOTE]
