    24' wide garage with lift?

    Although not appropriate for certain work, I have a Rotary Versa-lift (VMP-6, I think). It is not a scissor lift, but rather a parallelogram type lift. The only true hinderance is that due to its frame work, under vehicle work and access is severely limited; for instance, if you want to pull the...

    Melamine workbench top

    The entire hutch and work surface here are similar to melamine, and the assembly is about 18 years old. Although I watch what I do with it, it has held up very well.

Throughout the years, buying tools - I keep high tech equipment in the blow molded cases...

    Hydraulic jack handle falling down- solutions?

    It wont help prevent the handle from falling, but may help prevent damage: get some pipe insulation (the black, spongy rubber type, or whatever - use a "fun noodle" if you have to) and slip it over the handle. This will at least cushion the blow.

    Been lurking around the forums for a while now, guess it was time to introduce myself. Got a three car attached to the house, one small bay is my "work" bay. I will be using (and asking for) ideas found here to help organize and maximize its potential.
