So epic. Nice work.

fastbrochi...I do have a Pitbull I use for the Wing, but would like to get a table lift sometime in the future. Been checking out what the guys here like. Got the Craftsman 8 ft. bench in last night and carried up the tool box from the basement and getting that in order.

  I've used a table identical to this one and it was perfect, very strong and air operated. I'd venture to say it's strong enough to handle the heaviest Harley baggers.   There's removable panels for the sides that aid in getting the bike up on it or just for somewhere to put your tools so they fall easily to hand.   If you're a good detective maybe you can find out the brand, because I don't know.

I saw that lift on the boards and was interested in it. I think I will copy this pic and post it to see if someone knows what it is.

Your "garage" is fabulous, first off. WE all tease, kid, and harass... because we are envoius. The lift looks like a Handy lift, made right here in Iowa. I own one and it's well built and works well  even with the Baggers. A side note, I seem to bee noticing all of you Wisconsinites now that I am gone from your great state. Might have to get up there for a gathering. Take care.

Sure looks like the one to me. $839 + shipping. Gosh, shipping must be a killer there?

"they", as in workers? That is now no longer a garage, shop... More like a museum!

What is the price of admission to the museum?  You could be giving tours, which might help defray the cost of a lift...   
Seriously, well done and congrats on having such a great space to house/wrench on your gorgeous bikes.

Cheers,
G

There are two dealers in WI.  I believe it's 300lbs, so would ship freight. Unless you pick up...

Gman...thanks a lot for the feedback on the shop. You know I had second guessed myself if I should put that AC sleeve in there and I am sure glad I did. We had 90's the past 2 weeks with the same this next week. I have been out there arranging the shop and glad I have the AC now. The pics are showing the Craftsman bench and tool box in place.
Steveo...I think pickup would be the way to go on that lift. Still waiting to see if others think it is a quality unit.

Your work bench area will be really cool!

[Johnie]

Thanks Steveo and Cooldrum...I was going to make a bench with 2x4's and get a countertop from the local Menards, but saw the Craftsman on display and it fit just right. Now the neighbor guys are after me to get some more chairs in there... I am glad with how this all turned out. I think the plan is to have a plan before you start. Then it just all came together.
