Garage & Workshop BS Thread

I like the tool chests, look like true antiques, and the stove, it all looks all rustic, and then BAM! Massive modern lift! LOL. I wondered why it looked like the truck was bending...

 

Is your woodstove a Pacific Energy Vista ?

 

I'll have to check. I get home in 4 hrs. Ill check and report back.

KO

 

...heat, tv, stereo, welder, tools, ....lift! i'd say you're set

 

Well...when I get in trouble with the ol' lady and sent to my room...I ain't exactly suffering

 

so much coolness going on here with the garage. So i am renting a house with big garage and trying to setup a temporary garage to use. What would be the best solution for this? Also need some ideas for portable work bench.

I was thinking this kinda shelving

Here's a couple of my shop and yes I do work on my truck from time to time.

 

Very nice.

 

Thanks koditten. You wouldn't happen to be from the Freemont area would you?

Carpet went in yesterday. My cell phone camera screws up some straight lines for some reason.




And i always wanted my own arcade when i was a kid...


Shop related since i built it in my shop

 

Just got around to etching my 2 car garage earlier today. Hoping the rain dries up a bit so I can lay down some epoxy tomorrow! Got the 2 pack of Rustoleum epoxy coating that says it will cover a 2 1/2 car garage...also got the clear coat for it, so I can do a light coat of epoxy and cover with clear...should be fine I'm thinking

 

My blank slate, I did the floor a few weeks ago. Moving in this weekend and already need a shed to store yard and recreational equipment.

 

Looks like mine! Just started moving crap in today. Looking for either some carpet or a mat to put under the truck and bike. Just to try to preserve the floor for as long as possible lol

 

Same here. Just chipped some of it last night when I moved some of my metal stock in. Oh well, it's there to be used and I can't expect too much out of it.

 

Haha yea, laid down tarps for all the truck parts coming in..very very very carefully set down both sliders along the wall (for a later install).

So I used the Rustoleum epoxy firsr and then covered with Rustoleum clear coat. Clear coat says something likr 12 hours for foot traffic and 24 hours for heavy furniture but 5 days for vehicles. I waited 48 hours to start moving stuff in...I should be fine right? Coated on Sunday at around 1...moved parts and some boxes in today around the same time. Moving alot more stuff in on Thursday or maybe Friday...just wanna make sure I'm not screwing myself by putting stuff on the clear to soon

 

Subbing for future ideas.

*Edit* Also ditrypool wins at workshop space.

 

Work bench is just about finished. Putting in fluorescent lighting today.

 

Looks good. My workbench consists of an old smooth wooden door (no windows) and a couple of ends to supposrt it. Serves the purpose for my needs though
