Somebody was giving away a bunch of wood so I made a workbench as big as the wood I had. Turned out to be 42 1/2" tall and it works for me being 6'2. Spent many hours here rebuilding carburetors and other misc motorcycle stuff. Maybe I'll get a stool....

Couple reasons: I like having the back half of the shop "open".... feels bigger and lets more light in. Don't have that much stuff to need to store up there. Wife and daughter thought half would be nicer. It's cheaper and less work. Might have other plans for the back wall.... so wanted...

An update on the catwalk: Started and finished the project over the last week or so. Made the frame out of 11 gauge 2x2 square tubing, 1x2 14 gauge supports (3 of them) and 1/2" threaded rods. I wanted it to be bolted on in case I wanted to take it down sometime. Everything is bolted with...

Thanks for all the replies. Had no idea what pallet racks were so researching that has been fun and interesting. I like that idea but i can't have any legs that touch the ground.... it has to be fully suspended by the vertical pieces and roof, as I park my Titan in that corner and need the...

Hey guys, Want to pick y'all's brains on possibly adding a "catwalk", storage shelf, attic space.... or whatever this might be called. Please forgive my awful paint skills... it's the best I can do. Anywho, want to add a space in the corner of my 30x30 shop with 12' walls, in one of the...
