Home Built Shop Elevator FARM SHOP Miscellaneous 28-1-39 Instead of climbing stairs to get up to the 8-ft. high upper deck in his shop, Harry Engeland bought and modified an "electric-powered" platform. The unit was originally designed to lift a project up 3 ft. so it would be more accessible to work on.
