Show off your garage or workshop!!

Dimensions? I’m trying to plan out my future garage build now and have a lot of similar items (tractor, ATV, zero turn) that will likely be stored inside. I was wanting a space with a lift and some space for wood working for me too.

 

Not sure what kind of woodworking you do but sharing space between it and other “dirty” hobbies is a pita. A little bit of oil and a piece is ruined.

I have like 3 distinct bays and I think it works pretty well

 

I definitely wouldn’t call it “fine” woodworking but do make small furniture pieces and would like to spend a good portion of time in the future making some nice stuff. I think since I plan to have a concrete slab and stick build the frame, I would section off a portion in the back to be semi-private compared to the remainder of the garage. Say like a 30x50 garage and the back 10x20 area for woodworking.

 

I’m in an old 30x40 pole barn and my woodworking area is about 12x24. Plenty of space imo especially cause the project itself can be in the middle bay. I can take some pictures next week cause it’s a mess right now. Packing to go camping/wheeling

 

Some older pics. I’ve added some cabinets and have a larger fridge now. And decorated.

 

Main door is 12x12
Garage is 28x40
Annex28x28
And the wood shed 28x12
Lots of space for all my toys
Cheers !

 

Garage is bigger then the house

LOL

 

the way it ought to be!

 

Pretty sure that is building code for northern Vermont.

 

Back when we had our floor done. The last time my garage was clean

 

so we moved into our house july 2023. the house came with a 20x20 shop. while its been nice to have, its needed some work done. this is what it looked like on move in day.





recently, decided to fix some things. the shop had 2 rooms in it with a door in between as you can see in the previous pics. well, me and my dad decided to remove part of the wall that separated the 2 rooms. we removed everything from the door to the front of the building. its not a load bearing wall so no issues there.







the front walk in door had some issues with it like gaps above the door and the wood underneath the thresh hold being rotted. also, the wall next to it had a lot of dirt coming out of it from ants. so we removed part of the wall interior to see what was going on. well, doing that destroyed the fiber board so since i had 3 pieces of peg board that fit perfectly there, made it a peg wall. saved me from buying and matching the same type of board.

next weekend we will continue cleaning out the shop, clean the walls, vacuum/clean the floors and then paint the interior. this is what the shop looks like on the outside currently.

 

I finally remebedered I said id take some pics. Its really set up into 4 areas, two of them joined and two not. You should come by one day when there is nicer weather. I think we were gunna do something with your trailer or something.

 

Yeah we talked about having you zap on a new tongue jack some day. It’s low on the priority list but I’d love to get up there.

I need to clear the space out at my house to really lay out some string and get a good idea of sizes. The reality is though I’m years out from a build. Wife needs AC so waiting on quotes for that. Kitchen and dining combo gets done before the garage too I’m sure.

 

FINALLY getting my garage worked on. Always had sketchy power, but now new schedule 40 piping and it has its own breaker box now, and the best part, that box will now power my machine/wood shop. So stoked. Got tired of setting up the 50’ cord!

And Summit Saw Shop.

 

that pitched driveway to get into the garage is crazy!

 

The needles from the Monterey Pine make it worse. But, ALSD to the rescue!

 

What powerhead runs that big Oregon bar on the wall?
