Hey Led - Everyone's ideas are right on! Especially the roll-around work tables - I made 3 of them and use one solely for a welding table with my 220 ac/dc welder and all accs on the bottom shelf. The top I made of 3/4 in. ply and wrapped it with 16 guage sheetmetal. Really not that hard to do if you can weld, or ask a friend to weld it-up for you. My shop is 1512 sq ft. with 12 foot ceilings in one half of it. I installed a 2-post lift and believe me, it is the greatest thing I have ever done for myself. Keep this in mind when you are designing - they are fairly reasonable and can run on 110/220 volts. Hope this helps, can send you photos if you like. Good luck, and if you can manage it don't skimp on something that you will be sorry for later.
