    I have found that many of my neat shop ideas have come from other people so I figured I'd start a thread of meat tricks and tips and things to stay away from for your at home shops and garages. I just finally finished my max line airlines from rapidair and have almost finished the plumbing for my sewer. If you have to see it, it may as well be something funny! Let's see what tricks you've used in your own shops! See if we all can't find more things to spend money on!!!!! 15709052046786439820634257489578.jpg1570905302168368642364785924519.jpg

    I love folding wall tables. I don’t have a shop, just a typical suburban garage, so it’s nice that it can get off the floor and out of the way when I don’t need it.

    I ordered the LE10 Challenger lift, Spoiler alert, it says Snap-On Asia all over the boxes and they don't come with decals on them so who knows who is producing them for who anymore haha. It is good for 10K lbs, stands at 12', I got it from a local shop in Sacramento, had them install it. They brought a forklift. Unloading it without a forklift would be the hard part. Everything else could have been done without a forklift however, the forklift made it a quick install. I hard wired it with 30Amp 220V. I actually planned on it when I built the shop but changed it at the last min and ran a whole new circuit after they installed it and used my planned wiring for a 50amp welding circuit. Last night scheduled our first mod day with it on another forum members Taco. Lift, cab mount chop and then cab mount chop on ours! :yes::cheers:. I've been wanting a lift since I was 16! FINALLY!!!!!! Only had to wait 21 years!!!
