Show off your garage or workshop!!

We are going to be remodeling my garage into an auto "workshop" and i want some ideas!! post pics of your set ups!!

 

anyone?

 

lol I guess no one wants to play. I guess its for the best because It would only make me jealous. I have to share my garage with a bunch of other people so I don't get to organize things the way I would like. Infact I'm fighting to keep some of the space I have. Good luck with your quest.

 

Me...

When I had my 2011 5.0L...



My 2011 REX now..



Christmas..



Outside view..





That's my work hooptie(88 Nissan), sons GTP, and wife's Yukon.. She now pretty much just drives the rex and I drive my Taco.. Yukon is retired and exclusively used only for vacations and camping/fishing trips..

 

Very nice

 

.28, that's a sweet garage/pad you've got there! plenty of elbow room...

The garage, I need more lights and wish it had more room.

 

i like those benches, ..look sturdy.. my garage is about the same size, ..i've spent the past year coming up w/ some clever ways to store stuff on the walls

 

I think im going to buy the gladiator cabinets and tool boxes anyone have them? are they tough?

 

Here's mine.. the 99" Tacoma has been replaced with a 12' DC LB..barely fits.

Sweet fastback

 

I'll post mines tomorrow or the day after.

 

Mines 30x40, two doors on the front, one 8'w, one 10'w. Also a 10'w door on the back. It's got a wall seperating it at 25' to the front, 15' to the back, with a man door. I'm debating taking the wall out so I can get all 3 rigs in.. Ill get pics tomorrow, even though it's a big time mess...

 

The Garage Journal forums will make you nuts, you'll get so many ideas.

 

And here's my garage. I don't have a truck. If I did, I would have had to lay this out differently. But there might be some useful ideas for you here.

A lot about how you put it together will depend on what you're going to be doing in it. I do some carpentry, some metal fab and a fair amount of car work in my garage. Since the garage is only 20x22, I gave up one of the parking spaces for a more functional setup.



Every garage should have a workbench. Or two. Or ten.



Two fold-down from the wall where the car is parked.



One is hydraulically raised and comes up out of the floor:





It also works pretty well as a lift for my rear-engine track car:



Here's a video about the lift.



Everything in the garage is home-made, repurposed or second-hand. I did all the work myself, including laying the tile and installing the lift. The total budget for the flooring, cabinets, benches and lift was $3,500. (I found the lift on ebay for $455, and put another $215 into tool rental, concrete and tiles.)





And if that isn't enough over-documentation,

here's the video about the garage.

And while I know it looks all girly and clean in the pictures, it's a working garage that gets plenty messy:
