Got my new Handy bike lift last week. It is a S.A.M. 1000. Had a issue with the floor pedal and a waiting a replacement. Love it except for the defective pedal.

Reviving this old thread with some updated pics of my hang out. It is almost complete I am still shopping for a bike lift. Shipping to me is a problem but I am about to pull the trigger within the week. The floor is still only concrete. I may be too lazy to finish the epoxy treatment I had...

Bingo local shop came through for me. They are cutting me an exact size piece of stainless steel 16 guage 2B finish and de-burring it for $50 cash. Picking it today at noon. I am happy!

It was money and time well spent. Outside temp this morning was 16 degrees. Inside my shop with no heat on it was 38 degrees. Not bad In my opinion. I store a roadrace bike in there and it only has water with water wetter in the coolant system. I hate swapping it over to antifreeze for the...

This is where my No Mar tire changer will be mounted this afternoon. Could not mount it dead center of wall due to attic stairs dropping down. My 32" HDTV will be mounted up on this wall. I put a receptacle up high when wiring the shop.

I added a work bench tuesday only we lost the stainless steel top in transport. Apparently it blew off along the way. Shopping for a replacement has not been easy or cheap so far. Here is a pic of the bench area. I also added an old stand up wood cabinet in the corner of the building up from the...

I have (8) T8 48" 2 tube fixtures. Cheap ones from Home Depot. 3 were broken out of the box and had to be returned. After that they seem to be fine. Plenty of light for old tired eyes and black motorcycles. This is the only pic I have of the upstairs in the attic. Not much really. I don't...

Well the place never called me back guess I was not a worthy customer. I will call a few more places tomorrow and I am exploring other type materials. I love this workbench. Used it tonight to install a new gadget on my motorcycle tire changer. Made the job so easy. I also like the storage bins...

Thanks a lot guys! it has been a long time coming. I have been cramped in a 2 car garage with a tiny storage room for over 16 years. If the economy had not tanked and the real estate market went with it I most likely would have a new home with a much bigger shop by now. Unfortunately it might...

Yes I know a few nurses and my wife works at a hospital. I will ask around. No edges turned down. The piece simply laid on top of plywood with the angle iron frame as a cradle for both. It was a nice setup.

I prefer SS but I may be priced out on that. Still have not heard back from the place yet. I might go $100 on it simply for the fact it is a nice solid table but no more than a 100.

1st pic of the inside. Decided to wait until spring to epoxy the floor. I have begun to move things in. I almost have the tools organized. Moved a work table in last night, not without incident. More on that in the general discussion section. I am still shopping for a motorcycle lift. I plan on...

Found a place in town. Currently waiting on a call back with a price on stainless verses steel with 16 guage.

Here is the table in question minus the stainless top.

This table was my dads work table for 20 years. He made it when he was working in a maintenance field of work. It is very well made and super stout so it is worth replacing. I have looked at a few places online and yikes stainless is extremely expensive. Even if I have to put $100 or so in it is...
