At 53 I'm most likely older than the average member on this board. I bought a Handy table lift for Christmas this past year and I am so glad I did. I service all my own stuff and have a few bikes and this has been a perfect solution. The payback has already been achieved during the service of my Ducati it was a breeze with the bike 's valves at eye level and that alone saved me about $700 bucks at the ducati store for a 12000 mile service. Working on the old stuff is so much better as well, I can actually work on the bikes for hours without my back killing me from bending over. But, as I said I'm old and I spent years working without one but now no way I put the bike on it even for an oil change.BrianPettit said:Wondering how many guys use a lift or homemade table and how many build on the floor. I will be stuck on the floor because of space but I'm just wonderin' what you prefer?
Nappy, we know you build on the floor.![]()
God, why can't I have a shop like that. You could do half court basketball in there. I hate my little one car garage.baytowngreaser said:This is a table that a friend and I constructed in about 45 min. It was quick, easy and very economical to build.

p.s. I use a little metal table, made out of scap tubing, my welder is uderneath it on a shelf, and I have a little vise on there to cut and grind parts right there. Instead of walking back and forth.
i was too cheap to buy them so i built 3 myself. got bored & tig'ed them up. should have powder coated them, but the wife brush painted them & they look pretty good. really should have built 4 since i still have 1 frame laying around waiting for a dollie ride, but my quickie pan lower end rebuild is turning into a multi year full on rebuild/ semi-restoration. i took some other pics, but they are still in the camera, ill post them tomorrow for you, you can sorta see the pan on a dollie behind the hemi.BrianPettit said:God, why can't I have a shop like that.
