Does this fit for non moto? I'm trying to make the garage more functional, especially my workbench. Would love to see some of the Vitards setups!

Here’s mine, I think a stainless steel worktop is essential if you’re doing a lot of work with engines, suspension, etc. Easy to clean.
Got a bit going on atm so it’s a bit messy.

Looks nice. I like that suspension vice.

These kind of posts almost always make me feel poor lol. There was a dude who posted one he made out of stainless a while back that looked budget friendly and really nice.

I have a king with a memory foam top. Comfortable enough.

Rip a 3/4" piece of plywood and build a 2' x 4' x 4' frame and put the plywood on top. When the plywood gets nasty, unscrew from the frame and flip it or replace with the other ripped piece. Cheap and easy.

Here's my current setup. I plan on building the smaller red box into my van whenever I finally find one for a decent price. On the hunt for a nice well made vise as well. Might just buy the cheaper HF for now though.

Not that you can tell in the picture but I like a very clean look in my shop. But this bench came from a estate sell for 25 bucks. I cut a piece of stainless for the counter that hasnt made it back on it yet. The doors on on the floor not hung right now but you get the drift. Hide the clutter.

Lowes has butcher block slabs they keep in the corner with the unfinished cabinets that work awesome for work tables. Just fab up a steel or wood frame, good to go. Found them the other day looking around.
