Looks Really Great!!!! Keep us posted!!!
It's a Direct Lift: http://www.directlift.com/MotorcycleATV-Lifts-C15.aspx
Works great and trouble-free after years of use.
QUICK UPDATE: The shop is actually holding up very well. No issues at all.
I've had hundreds of people tell me that they wish they could afford a dream shop of their own, the tools and the skill to use it. Well, I have big plans for a community workshop and starting small for now. Check it out and let me know what you think:
http://vocademy.com/
While putting together the plans for the 15,000 sq foot Vocademy, I've been using my shop as a school to teach college kids and others "SHOP 101" skills. Just had my first "Graduating Class" Here's a pic of (half) the class with their little machining projects. If you like what I'm planning, please spread the word!

REFLEXX - I think the Vocademy is a great idea.
I was fortunate enough to grow up in a town where the public high school had a fabulous metal, wood, and welding shop. We even got to make our own injection molded plastic parts and sand cast custom aluminum parts in the foundry. I took every shop class I could, which probably explains my lack of education in other areas
. I don't think this is the norm for most communities, so offering another source for this education is great. Good on you for helping the young folks.
Shop equipment is expensive, and membership to a place like the Vocademy will let people work with machinery they may not have had an opportunity to otherwise. That's pretty cool too and I bet a lot of people will take advantage of that.
Good luck with your new venture.
(And its great to still see one of the GJ "oldtimers" still at it)
