Show off your garage or workshop!!

love this thread! makes me want to get rid of my living room and turn my single car garage to a large 3 car! (don't think my wife would agree with me)

 

Started spring cleaning on mine and got a new box

 

I added a tv into the mix.

 

Personal garage/shop





Three bays to the left, two pull in and one pull through

 

My half of the garage...

 

nice garage, are those the 12'' or 18'' tiles

 

Hey Nammer, sorry for the late reply (i'm not on much)--these are 12" tiles.
planning to clean them soon with a floor buffer, which i find works best, soon as this rain subsides.
cant go wrong with racedeck products..................

Only had this house for a few weeks, so my projects have been limited by money to fund them.

But, this is my garage so far. It's a 24x24 attached garage with a "breezeway" between it and the house. I put breezeway in quotes because it's actually a ~250 sq ft room with a fireplace that I use as my office.

So far I've basically just put all my stuff in it and redid the lighting. They had virtually none before, so I bought recessed can light fixtures and put 65w LED flood light bulbs in them. There are 6 of those and two florescent lights over the bench. In the process I found out the entire garage is on a single 20A circuit, which isn't exactly ideal, so I'll have to deal with that eventually. Also want a larger air compressor air hose reel, and maybe some sort of ceiling suspended heater so I could work in there in the winter if I wanted to.

 

FINALLY got some storage shelves and a work bench built and have been able to reclaim my garage! Can't remember the last time I was able to park a vehicle in here! It's still unorganized, I'm awaiting hooks and clips for my pegboards from cramazon, but 1000X better than it was. Biggest problem right now is workout equipment that I've recently acquired. I like to leave it in the garage but I'm thinking it's gonna have to go to the basement due to lack of space.

 

Hey David,
Where'd you get the Autobahn signs?
Your shop is looking good

 

thanks !

Let me look for an invoice - I can't remember off the top of my head

 

Don't remember paying that much for them, but I got them here;

Thanks David!

 

Decided to add a medicine cabinet / mirror over the shop sink. Useful for storing first aid supplies and for washing the grease off my face before coming inside the house.

 

good choice ... a first aid kit / medicine chest is always a good idea ... one of those things you hope you never have to use, but nice to have handy if and when you need something

 

I have varying levels of kits in the house, but my wife generally frowns upon me tracking grease/blood inside.

 

organized my workshop today...its small, and i will eventually do a total layout redesign, but it is good for now

 

Got 2 new toys for the garage last week..

an old but in excellent condition Clausing drill press (made around the mid 60s)


And a portaband that has a custom stand to use it as a regular bandsaw.

 

Very nice. I'm always on the lookout for this type of stuff, but mostly come across people selling old tools that have rusted away in a barn like they are made of gold.

 

Now dems kool. Gotta get me each of the same.
