Yours looks organized compared to mine! :)

Got some more done. now to empty the tool boxes and get them straightened up. Thinking about moving the lifts both back 24 inches or so.
going to try to stop by harbor freight today for some more Hanson style socket rails. Possibly scoop one of their welding tables with the fit up kit.
might get on TC Bros and buy another linkage kit for the CB chopper so i can redo my brake linkage.

Started both bikes on the old gas last night. The sporty didn't mind it, the Honda didn't like it so much.

You prefer the Hanson style?   Wont the sockets fall off if tipped over? 
I use the rail type as I like to bring it over to the project I am working on so I have all sizes at hand.

I like them quicker to grab and out up. They have their disadvantages as well still. I just grab the Hanson style setup and set them on my lift with me. They are not convenient when I'm working on my cars though

Went to HF today. Picked up some more Hanson style rails and a Titanium brand welding table with the fit up kit. I've actually wanted one of these since they came out with them.

I think I'll move my lifts back a little bit to accommodate the welding table.

Your shop is coming along nicely. After you get settled in think about converting your florescent lights to LED tubes and skip the ballasts. The wife said that the power bill went down some and it is much brighter in there. Plus I haven't had to change a tube in the year since the change over. Changing 8' tubes on the 12' ceiling isn't fun.
