I had my hands on industrial paint but was gone off

5l floor paint in local hardware was €45. Not cheap and baerly covered 25m2. Still seals floor in fully

Comes in green red or grey

Looks a great job, John. Watch your toes with that sunken table!

Looks great, was 1 coat enough?

I think when Harry said to "watch your toes" it was in the context of not trapping them when lowering the table - a mat will not help you there?

very true, was reading on phone.

i have to weld up extensions to the lift pedals so they will be removed when not lifted.

i also will be moving them out from the table so won't be close to it.

the lowering pedal is stupidly close to the lift unit

Bit of tidy up and wardrobe for bike gear

Au contraire Gerry, Would be very handy for soaking up the blood after the toes are separated from their natural places at end of foot keeping the place tidy looking.

I love that sunken idea though, otherwise when not in use its dead space.

thats a great feel thought out job

can i ask about the ramp ..how do you jack it up when its sunk in to the floor ? and does it still lift the bike high enough to work on ? i notice it looks like its sunk in around 10 inch ?

I just left slot at side to put pump pedal in to lift it up. I havr weld extension onto pedal but workd fine.

Yes it 7" lower. Do notice it been lower but still better than laying on floor trying drop oil

Easy leave a hole and if dont need it just fill it in. Harden cut it out after laid floor
