Thanks again for everyone's help/input - Lots of things to consider and I like the caster idea, could make for hidden storage.

Yup I've thought about building the stairs first then the boxes, but I do like the idea of an 'all -in-one' setup. Keep the ideas coming :D

I'm thinking about building a platform to shelve random items and keep the floor below uncluttered. I've seen these cubby boxes idea all over the place and really like the concept/design of it. I'm fairly new to all of the wood construction and would like to know how can these be built easily...

I think I would've bought the plasma CNC table before the bead roller, but to each their own :D Looking good and glad to see the shop and business going!

add pics of what you have and drawings of what you plan on doing. If it wasn't done before, I'm sure the brilliant minds here will have no problem guiding you towards your build.

A pretty cool build and good timeline of the garage build process - I'm sure it's nice to have plenty of room to work and store odds and ends. As most have said, lucky on the lift, probably makes every car-related task 10x easier and less challenging. I need one!! but probably need a real...

ehh pretty sure the bigger you make it the more stuff you find to shove in/store - Some of the organization tends to lack also, since you 'know' you have plenty of room.

you almost need to make an extra gasket and make a video of it all, just to see this thing in action. Cool idea though!

I was going to say Miata or Nissan 240sx - Seems that parts are cheap and heaps of upgrades available

Sweetness is all I got for you. Keep us posted on progress, although I'm surprised you couldn't get some factory stuff from other cars to adapt more easily to it. I don't know anything about LCA strength, angles and all that, but I'll keep up on the reading of this. looking around found this...

Looking really good and very simplistic, which I enjoy for simple builds. Keeping the weight low is also a plus in my book. Good work!

Sub'd this is pretty epic - There's actually quite a few builders/fabricators that do leave their signature hidden inside a project, it's probably more fun to find your own though. haha

The level of insulation for a simple garage is massive, but as stated well worth it - Make sure you have good ventilation too if you start doing heavy work and get dust/paint in the air. Do you plan on keeping it 'cool' also during the summer, besides the fan?

I'm on a miller diversion 165 and wish I would've spent a bit more to get the 180, but it's pretty good so far (still learning). I've seen the guy on weldingtipsandtricks using the Everlast quite a bit and seems to be happy with it. He has the 210ext which they do not make anymore, but you can...

I would try it with the flux core, as it runs a little hotter and may be able to get more penetration than the mig setup. Just throwing it out there. Just post up a vid of what you're trying to do and the setup - May help figure out if you're doing something wrong.

Ray that's another good way of doing it - Unfortunately I don't have a workmate or vise just yet - So that's out of the question unfortunately. Seems that the folding angles are a winner so far - I'll post a little diy if I do make it

Hmm that is not a bad idea - I was trying to make something more of a 1-step pull, but I like the folding triangle view. Reminds me of folding table I had as a kid. Thanks for the input!

Another good place is: http://www.autobody101.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=5 Dedicated to auto body repair stuff too.

Yup I looked through yesterday, but didn't smaller side ones - Everyone has really nice setups. :[ This one is a great idea, just need some skills to replicate it. haha http://shopngarage.com/2011/09/folding-portable-welding-table/

Zapster from welding web? If not you have similar skills it seems :) Everything's looking great really and enjoying the builds. Are all of your pieces 1 of, or you create templates and can re-produce at will? (saw the solidworks) Keep at it!
