New AMD mini tubs in progress by ns1rm21

The small angled piece is an example of the stretched and shrunk piece that was made to add a flange back onto the trunk pan. The trunk pan is stamped with a flange that gets removed when the trunk pan is narrowed. The flange is what the tub is spot welded to.

It is - fortunately it's fairly deep. What you don't see are 7 rolling tool boxes, 2 shelving sets, an air compressor, a 4x3.5' work table, 5 floor jacks plus a rolling transmission jack, and a 2- ton hydraulic press - most of it all up in front of the cars. Takes a lot of orchestration for most mechanical work.

It’s roughly 25 x 25. I have four 6-drawer tool chests end to end along the back wall with a long countertop on top for a bench. Also a shelving unit broken down to make a 4x3.5’ work table. And the three other tool boxes of various size scattered about and the 2 sets of 8’ high shelves. I have everything up on casters so I can shift it around. Being somewhat short of space and a tool junkie it didn’t take much to fill up all the drawers and shelves. I have a large, floored attic with a staircase so I’ve stashed a bunch of stuff up there too. My wife didn’t discover that for years. I’ve tried to make the best of it as I couldn’t get her to move further out where I would have room for a proper shop.

It‘s cozy. I really envy the guys with a real shop.

A little overflow into the other garage.

Had to raise my door opener up a little. Now that I put the door handles on, they were just rubbing when I spun her around. That should do it.

Whats your ceiling height.
I have a 3 car attached and with lifes other stuff in there Im not sure I can get 3 cars in it right now.

Ive thought about a lift for the single side . Just not sure my ceiling is tall enough to get a lift high enough to clear one under it
