Workspace floor space is at a premium, and this video shows you how to free some up and make your shop more functional using your ceiling space. I've included some vendors below to get you started; however, check your local electrical supply warehouse. Often, eBay has these types of parts in bulk for cheap. It's all straightforward; however, if you have any questions, leave me a comment, and I'll try to help. NOTE: Before loading down your ceiling you need to know what your ceiling can support. My ceiling has 2x12 joists with a glue-lam beam. I talked to an engineer about how much weight I could add and I monitored it after installation for any issues. This is the primary reason I am not storing lumber over unused space, weight.
