1 of the best things I've built for the shop is a 4'x12' table. It's 1" thick steel. Top of table is 48" off the floor.. I Love it. But if u had to buy that plate new it would be $$$$ I Also need to throw away a bunch of junk too.
Here's table when I was bout to take it in shop with bobcat. I think it weighed 2600lb can't remember exactly

like that table we have one similar to yours when you pound on it it won,t move.

I just built a 16x32x12'tall with 4" concrete, 8' exterior pad, and full 10'6"x32x6'tall loft for $11,000. I wanted something 3x this big but this is paid for and I didn't have to drop any tree's in the yard.

this will be much better that what i had witch was just a little 10x12 mini I had to put tools. I like Brady's idea on the compressor, my little shed is only 25' away. I think I will take his advice and just run some hard lines over so I don't have to listen to it. my biggest plans include a crane of some sort so i can flip boats over inside may do a trolley set up. but basically its getting a 200amp box and some good lighting. I plan on keeping this as a work space only shed. thats why the upstairs is there for all my decoys, stands,and extra toys.

Having something paid off is always the best way, gets my vote every time. On another note, how did you do your stairs? I need a set like that in my shop.

 

[whiteriverrambo]

stairs are very difficult. stair calculators, youtube videos, and a detailed drawing will help you plan out each cut. and get ready there are a ton of cuts to be made. on my stair case there are 6 stringers, with 22 cuts each that had to be planned, measured, marked and cut. that takes a long time to complete. get the first one right and use it as a template to mark the others. a more detailed PM incoming.

Ignore the boat.....
Who takes pics of just the shop? Anyway this is a pic of the front. You will see in the next pics that it is built into a hill so the front is ground level and the back is 4' underground. 3 sides are 4' of concrete retaining wall. I did this so that in profile it wouldn't sit way above my house. Either I was going to have to build up the front or dig in the back. I dug it in.....

Pic of the cement floored lean to in the back. Big enough for a boat but it usually just has my aluminum and steel stock under it.

Both doors are roll type to prevent loss of overhead space due to tracks for regular garage doors.
