Got this heavy duty table years back. Just had to add to it's length and fab a front wheel stop up. Made the front stop adjust in or out for different trikes. Great to not have to work at ground level. Ultimate goal is to buy me a pallet jack and fab it up to be able to lift the whole table to the moon if needed. Here ya go http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo321/andyatc70/th_P6100257_zps1db2e915.jpg (http://s388.photobucket.com/albums/oo321/andyatc70/?action=view&current=P6100257_zps1db2e915.jpg) http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo321/andyatc70/th_P6100259_zps9a90e622.jpg (http://s388.photobucket.com/albums/oo321/andyatc70/?action=view&current=P6100259_zps9a90e622.jpg) http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo321/andyatc70/th_P6100258_zps081c2214.jpg (http://s388.photobucket.com/albums/oo321/andyatc70/?action=view&current=P6100258_zps081c2214.jpg) What's nice about it is that you can step inside the rack to get closer to the trike, not lean over like a solid table top if needed.

waaay better than carpeting in the dirt.

I'm looking at garage plans now and will add some sort of lift
to the project too...and a heated floor somehow.

Thanks for the motivation.

We put in a elecrtic cable hoist. We take a tow strap to the machine. We have a nice flex joint that allows us to spin the machine around at will. We can lift the machine a little or a lot. It allows us to get right up close and personal without bending over at all.
Been using this hoist for 10+ years. I loved it so much I put one in my garage here at home.

I have a 4 ft in ground atv hoist I need to get installed here at the house. It has a 2ft X 2ft lazy susan top that would be just awesome to work with. :D

My brother and I use an old picnic table to work on out 70s, it works out great. You can sit on the bench and be at a perfect level to work, also a place close by for your beer.

My dad picked it up from a guy who was cleaning up his property. We hauled off a few junk cars and other stuff and that was in the mix. I've never had it operating but would like to start working on it in the next 6 months.

here is how its been sitting for the last few years. Upside down of course.

The top is like 1/4" thick steel. I'd like to get it either powder coated or put bedliner on the top.
