Damn it, I've been wanting to do this for a long while. Beautiful job, though. The brasswork looks a lot better than what I'd been planning to do.

That is georgious. I love the tilt adjustment. I would have used veneer or wood looking laminate instead of felt for the surface.
Too bad I don't have a garage.

Black powder-coated metal would have been cool, too. Maybe just that speckle paint with a semi-gloss black top coat would work.
