I'd like to put in a steel I-beam with one of those little trolly cars to
hook up my winch. Then I could move it sideways whilst I rolled the car
fore-and-aft (won't work with a Europa, though).
Even better is a pair of beams at the sides of the shop and a beam which
travels along them. Then I'd have full coverage like I had in the machine
shops where I used to work. That may be over-reaching for me. Where does
one buy this kind of stuff?
