If you do a new pour add a pipe for air and power like this. I assume the lift is a base plate witch sucks fucking ass.
I would pour with a trough for the legs, cables and hoses to go in so the floor remains flat. Else you can't push a broken non running vehicle on or off the lift.

Stupid is as stupid does
It's not a base plate lift, it's a two post "mobile", so there are flexible hydraulic lines that come out of the back of the columns. No mechanical synchronization of the lift columns, i guess they do it hydraulically.
Good call on putting conduit under the slab. I had that thought as well, but then reconsidered for just running it overhead.
As far as the base goes, yeah 12" seems excessive, but I could see myself putting a larger lift in here at some point in the future, and I sure as shit wouldn't want to pull all this out again.

Fix that fucking step before somebody falls through it and breaks a leg.

Side project;
My old workbench / welding table was about 3'x5', way too big for the new shop layout. Took the 3/8" table top I had on it and cut it into this 2x3 fixture table I designed. This is far and away the most complex thing I've done with the plasma table to date, and the most complex thing I've designed in CAD. Made some mistakes in the design, and learned how to cut thick plate more reliably on the plasma, so it's been a good exercise, but damn this thing has been a challenge. Lot of correcting bevel in the slots with the plasma hand torch, and fine tuning with a grinder stone. The next one will be better.
It has come together pretty well all things considered. Going to glue it together tonight and stick some legs on it. After that, have a car project or two, then back on the garage work.

I'm happy for a first shot. Gonna add some features then on to bigger and better things.

Done for now. Need to build a grinder rack for the big boys and a place for my drill press to live, and she'll be finished.
Stay tuned for more garage updates in a few weeks when I cut the floor.

Is that the medical term for Tacoma owners?
