Thank you for the kind words. Sometimes I wish it was bigger, but I also enjoy the creative process of making things work with limited space. Its a nice challenge. Although my next garage hopefully will be a least 3 times bigger:) That Condor stuff looks really well thought out.

Well dirtbike gearboxes take a beating. Lots of clutchless upshifts that arent done in the nicest way in the heat of racing. You also have to consider these engines / gearboxes are build for performance and lightweight. Not for longevity. Its not uncommon for a dirtbike gearbox to need a rebuild...

Time for a small update. Been busy with the final touches. Added some stainless steel trim here and there. Bought a paper towel dispenser and made a zip tie holder. I finally found some time to work on my own bikes. Changing the oil, checking waterpump, clutch for the upcoming riding / racing...

Check out my single car garage / repair shop / KTM mancave with scissor lift. Thread overhere: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=358901

I appreciate you're concerns. But this lift isn't just some random hydraulic lift table i bought of the internet without any research. Its build by Autec which is a well known manufacturer of professional car lifts. This lift was specifically designed to lift cars. Therefor is has a pneumatic...

Time for a small update Bought a motorcycle mover that fits under the centrestand. Its really a musthave for anyone who stores motorcycle in a small space. Makes it really easy to move the bike around and allows me to get the bike much closer to the wall. At first I thought about building a...

Dont worry the lift was originally designed to lift cars and has a capacity of 2500 kg / 5500 lbs. Came out of a body shop thats why it only lifts 1.5m and has no posts around the car like a normal 2 or 4 post lift.

Thought I`d join in with my garage. Mostly for motorcycles although sometimes cars get fixed to help pay the bills;) Build in progress: Lift operational Homemade workbench done Really love having the lift. Makes for a great height adjustable extra workbench with almost 360 degr. acces...

Update time! Made some deviders in the drawers to store tools in a efficient way. Started building a shelf / box to house my air compressor so that is doesnt take up any floor space and to quiet it down a bit. The end result, also mounted an air reel to the wall. Still need to hook it...

Thanks for the kind words! More updates to come soon.

I have a few. These are the back walls being build around the old walls. Wall under construction. Brick work done.

Been busy fixing cars and bikes in my garage. Still got some stuff done so time for an update. Made a shelf above the door to store some riding gear. Installed the hydraulic pump and cicruits for the lift all beneath the workbench so it doesnt take up any valuable floorspace. Also made a...

Haha good point. But I have a drive to get things done so when they get done slower I tend to get frustrated.

Update time! Installed a light above the workbench, made a metal worktop and started hanging tools on the pegboard. Still need to get a vice. Really love having the lift, been using it for al kinds of projects. Just really nice to have an extra height adjustable workspace. With really bright...

The lift table itself doesn't touch the car. There are extendable cross beams slotted over the table that pick the car up under the jacking points. Look at one of the first pics in this thread of the lift. Just need to get some decent rubber blocks instead of those pieces of wood.
