Nice shop. I like the hoist, too bad I only have 10' ceilings.
I currently have a 24' X 40' shop. Looking in from the main door it looks like this.
Starting at the right along the wall it looks like this.
You will recognize three pairs of XJ front coils on the rack. there is a buzz box welder with 50' leads to the right of the torch. Those ARB boxes have lockers in them waiting for an axel. The thing in the center is a sheet metal brake with a band saw behind it.
Continuing down the right side is a parts washer, motorized hydraulic press, drill press with cherry picker and engine stand partially hidden. Also is my next rear end for my XJ and my M422A1 Mighty Mite also known as Project Hum Wee since it looks kind of like a miniature Hummer.
looking down the right side past the second large door is the air compressor, my too small roll away lots of straps and clamps used in fabbing and my 250 amp MIG that I can set up for mild steel, stainless and aluminum.

I worked for a Gov. contractor in Mich. building and installing the HVAC systems in an APC.
One of our vehicles was used in one of the Robocop movies.

I am glad I dont have pictures of any of our garages because I would be embarrased to post them, just enough room to walk.....sometimes. I have just started cleaning out a 3 car and a pole barn to make a shop and storage area and found a couple things tonight I had forgotten all about. I also had two brand new 36 inch Super Swamper's on some Jeep wheel's.
