My Shop

Here are a couple of pictures of my shop when I was gearing up for a motor rebuilding job. It's a lot messier now.[IMG][/IMG]

Not as much as others on here but it'll do for now I share the shop with my dad, it's become our hobby shop. He'll be building his 1.5 inch scale steam locomotive in the other bay and I'll be doing whatever on my side.

for those of you with a lift in your garage was there anything special you had to do to the concrete or was it just a bolt in?

Just drilled some holes and used some expanding concrete bolts. I've put a fullsized Blazer on and the lift hardly moves when shaking the truck.

"my" shop is at my folks house. Usually it houses a pair of BMW's and a Road King, but I'll swing over whenever I need to do anything. My big 'ol compressor and floor jacks, etc are all there. I wish my apartment had at best a shed...

It has just about anything I need except a welder...

I have a nice 2 truck bay garage. I don't got a digital camera, but hopefully, I'll borrow a friends and snap a few pictures. My truck is usually in the right bay and when my friends come over they take the left bay *shrugs*.

We have a two car garage, behind one door, we just barely have enough room to pull in the Rangers, and my mom and sisters Escorts. Behind the other door, we don't even have enough room to put a bicycle. And then, inside the garage, there is a small office, now a living space for my aunt and uncle who can easily smoke a carton of ciggarettes a day. Now, if you can imagine the smell of two people smoking a carton of ciggarettes in one day, multiply that by about three years, and you will have about a 20 foot radius of stink that sits around the garage (outside, but it grows stronger as you walk into it) all year round. It may not be the messiest garage, but it ĊĊĊĊING STINKS!

Eh, it's getting there sloooooooowly but thanks. Finished off the welding table a long time ago, 4x6 plate, and it's stuffed into the corner under the window now. Really need to build a loft for storage to get more floor space. Anyway, here's the table with a metal storage rack I made for work.
