It's so difficult to accurately estimate how long a task in the workshop will take. Forget minutes as a unit of measurement, all jobs are in chunks of hours. The main thing I try to remember is not to set an arbitrary time limit and actually enjoy each stage. If it takes longer but I'm happy with the results then so be it. Nice stand though. Where is all the mess, tools lying around? This is definitely a magical workshop 😂
Yes, I totally agree! This is a hobby and it should be enjoyable, if it takes longer than anticipated - well then it's more to enjoy 😁 It gets messy from time to time in my garage as well, but I like to keep it tidy. Probably a bit more tidy than the average workshop ☺️
Garage getting better equipped and professional looking every video ✅
love to see it!! 😁🚀
It's getting close to my perfect dream garage, next up is to paint the floor ☺️ I'll give you the full tour next time you are home 😂
You should weld some brackets under the lift so that you could store the ramp when not in use.
That was a smart idea! 💡 I had thought about hanging it on the wall, but this might be a better idea 👍
It's great when someones been there before you, thanks for the vid. I'm about to do the same mod on a similar lift but I'm going for fixed wheels at the front and swivel at the rear which is the reverse of how the lift comes.
That is probably smart. Because of the limited space I have in my garage having four swivel wheels has been very helpful to 'park' the table into its right parking spot. It is a bit challenging to move around though, that will be much easier with your setup .
Very good I should have paid attention to the fabricators I grew up with thank you for the video
Glad u liked it 👍
I think you beat the challenge at 11hrs. I see the ramp extension as a convenience and not directly related to replacing the casters
Well, in my 12 hour estimate I had included time to extend the ramp 😔 I am however not really disappointed that I had to spend more time, I should have included time to tidy, clean the parts, prepare for painting (sanding, priming) and painting 🥴
I am totally late here. Just wanted to add that using tie down straps on both sides of the motorcycle handle will make the bike more stable.
Get a scissor jack for lifting under the engine when working on the rear wheel assembly. Mustie1 use one and it looks really handy
Thanks for the tips! 🙏 I have really never liked - or used - straps to tie down the bike on each side. I have never had that heavy bike either, probably what you need if the bike is big. A scissor jack is on my wish list, I have just been using my car jack until now, really cumbersome 😞
good idea most lifts have stupid size wheels and if like most of use we are limited to workshop space being easy to move the table out of the way is great , dont know about putting the lift up against a wall as my lift always has a bike on it , either for work or storage
I have been using it for a while now with the new bigger wheels, and it works great! Most of the time I have a bike on it as well, and now I can easily move it around even with the bike on! 👍
Excellent follow up to your first Lift Table video Ki. I was fortunate to get an electric over hydraulic table that I use for my motorcycles so I am not shopping, but both videos were well worth my time for your critical thought and re-engineering. Subscribed and looking forward to more of your content. Cheers, Chris
Ahh, sounds like you have a real professional lift table. My 'dream' lift table would be the Handy 1200 Air Lift, but nobody sells it around here, and it will be very expensive to import just one 😔 Thanks for subbing 🙏👍😊
@@kihestad Right place at the right time. Its a 450kg capacity small 60x90cm table that I put a steel door on top of with a Pingel Cycle Jaw. Looking forward to your next modifications
Hahahaha you look like a typical Norwegian dancing when moving that table around 👏🏻😂 another really good production mate! Impressive how that timer works or plays with your head! Can he make it 😂👏🏻 great addition, and it looks really Nice 🎥🔥 and yes, the hair cut was about time 😂👏🏻
It's perhaps the best dance moves I'll ever make 😂😅 Glad you liked the haircut, any shorter and I will be close to your cut 😋
@@kihestad hahaha, well! You put a new meaning to roller disco 🙈😂
Impressive how well balanced and educational this video was for a newbie as me! Well done MR. Hestad 👏🏻
@@tshansen Loved to hear that 🤩 It's always a challenge to mix in useful tips and show how I do it, but not make it too serious a d boring by adding some fun to it ☺️
I think that was excellent, and well worth 16 hours of your time. However, I think those right-angled corners might catch your ankles.. painful (I know!). Hope the flooring went well. I’ll look that one up. Thanks. Les in UK 🇬🇧
Thanks, It has not been a problem with the brackets sticking out from the bottom part of the table. The table top is a bit wider than the legs, and I never really go that close. I also normally make the wheels point forward or backward before locking them, so they don't stick outwards.
The epoxy painted floor has just been the best investment I have ever done in my garage. It's just like a completely new garage. Going from untreated concrete to epoxy is like night and day 🤩🤩🤩
Very entertaining as always.
Glad you enjoyed it Ryan, tried my best to add some 'exitmemt' to the video 😋
Seeing how easy that is to move, I'm very tempted to perform the same upgrade....
Although that will mean I have to put my bike into a position to move... The lack of forks might be an issue 🤣
Hehe, I guess the bike is currently on the lift table? Probably best to wait until the bike is movable 😝
The montage editing was a nice touch
Good project and video
Thanks! ☺️ makes the whole project a bit more fun
I have the same lift in the USA, it comes from Harbor Freight. I like it but I don't move it around much because the wheels stink! This would be a nice upgrade. I wonder if instead of the brackets you made, (I'm not as skilled in metal fabrication) I could use a single piece of steel (one piece on each end) that went across the bottom of the lift left to right and stuck out both sides far enough to hold the wheels. Waste a bit of metal and doesn't look as cool but might be simpler to accomplish. thoughts? Great videos btw!!
The metal needs to be quite thick if you plan to use a flat bar to avoid it being bendt upwards at the end where the wheels are. You could of course use a square tube to get it stiffer, but then it will be even taller. It is probably doable, but as you say a lot of material goes to waste 😏
The Haircut before was much much better mate👍
My hair dresser told me I had to cut it short 😳😳😳
HAHA, what did you expect ? He´s ONLY a haircutter, thats his buisness😆 He don´t know about good looking
Damn ... 😂😅
Great modification. When using a much heavier bike, would you need side extensions to stabilize it?
My Cagiva adventure bike is more than 200kg, and quite tall. When it’s on the table at the highest position, the table is still quite stable. The table top and the legs could have been stiffer as they bend slightly when rocking the bike. The bottom frame and the new oversized wheels are very stable, it’s the most solid parts on the lift table.
Another question up to Norway:
Is it right or only my feeling, the Time between your videos is gettin´longer and longer?
And please, if you can do it, dont make that youtube shorts. You´re not that type of 7seconds tictoc Guy. i like your long videos where i can understand your thoughts, why you do this and not that.....Many of us had the same thoughts (in what project ever we are)
Not really (regarding time between videos), it varies a lot how much spare time I have to do hobby projects and make videos of it. I have actually made more videos lately than in a long time - hurray 😁😁😁 I have decided to make one shorts video every week as a status update the weeks I don't publish a regular video. It does not affect my effort in my long content videos, it's just to avoid not posting anything for too long of a time. Hope it's ok 🥴
👍
🙏
Are you concerning by it “freewheeling” without brakes engaged ?
The garage floor tilts 1cm per meter downwards towards the garage door. If I don't put the brakes on it for sure runs by itself until it crashes into the garage door. Or if the garage door is open: it will speed up pretty fast down my driveway 😂
At least you’re not working on a Goldwind !
True 😅
Where did you buy those wheels?
A Norwegian web shop: www.staypro.no/arbeidsplass/arbeidsbord-og-rullevogner/transporthjul/svingbare-hjul/tente-3477itp100p62-leddhjul-o-100-mm-brems-polyuret-plate-105-x-85-3057529
Talking about hair cuts... Longer hair makes you look younger.
That train has left the station for my part 😜
