Everybody wants a monster shop, but I would rather have a smaller shop with heat and air that is affordable to control temperature. I think a 40’x50’ with 12’ walls would be my goal.

no mater how large your shop is the tools supplies and work space will take up all available left over floor space....
.left over after the wife and family decide your shop is the ideal place to "temporarily" store an
endless ever expanding list of crap,
that should be thrown away, sold or burned, that they are sure you won,t mind storing for them until hell freezes over..
and that you can,t get them to agree too come get or allow you to throw out
my shops roughly 36 ft x 80 ft, Id bet 50% of that floor space, is crap the family won,t currently allow me to burn,
or put out at the curb, that they have promised me they will come get "SOON"
the same crappy assurance I've repeatedly heard for several years.
over the next few months I think a great deal of that crap may decide too sprout legs and wonder off..

And the next day, with a STRAIGHT face, you will have to tell them " I have no idea where it could have went to".

I did some searching. Here are some oopses.
You just can't fix stupid! JMHO No such thing as an accident as all are preventable especially when it comes to your life or an expensive car.
I like the Quick-Lift, but not for $1400.
Here are some others:

Small shops are more affordable.
What I want for now.
There is Dreaming.
Then Reality.
Without $100k cash a big shop will never happen.

improper lift install or cheap import lift

Better yet if they do ask about “remind” them they came and got it! Lol

In my advanced years, I forgot to ask where they were wondering off to, as they walked out the door!
