Show off your garage

[samger2]

Thought I'd throw this into the mix...It'll raise the body only about 48". but that's the roof rails almost touching the open garage door. We're still monkeying around with final placement, as I positioned the towers as far apart as the maximum recommendation, but they're too far apart for a smaller vehicle. The anchor holes are already drilled, and they're ready to be pounded in. The nice thing about this deal is that it's portable, and the towers can be put against the wall if we're not going to use it for a while, or can be moved, if we ever get our shop going.

I love the fact that you have a poster of Kathy Ireland up...she was always one of my favorites

Best pics I have of my workspace. Garage is 20x70, fully insulated, old gas furnace from the house. Garage is 3sqft smaller than the footprint of the house, a VERY rare sight in a 1950's neighborhood 2x230v 40amp dedicated circuits for the welder (one front half, one rear), old vending machine with beer and soda, work benches, tools, and a ton of crap which I am in the middle of trying to clean up.... wouldn't know it by looking at things. The coated slab is the rear half, old uncoated slab is the front half used for parking the DD's

I'll post more pics one of these days.

I got mine from my father-in-law as well, who does the same thing at Pepsi now. He has one in the basement of his place as well. Mine in running on $25, coin and bill. How did you do the magnet... am very interested in running something like that on mine.

Current stocking...

Here are a few pics of my shop. It is nothing special but it is mine and best of all it is paid for! It is just a 30x40 w/ concrete floors and drains, insulated with heat and I have an AC unit to install if I can ever get my HVAC buddy over here to do it.

Just a shot of the wall with the keg fridge and some tool cabinets.

another shot of the front wall with some benches and some of my small scale fab tools.

just a shot of the other corner that my sons toys are in.....

and last, but certainly not least is the belly up station complete with nacho cheese machine and a 8 dog roller and another beer fridge (and water and soda for my son and wife )

Future plans are to get the AC unit installed and also tin the ceiling and walls with white barn tin. It does remarkably well in the winter with holding heat, I only burnt 200 gallons of propane last winter and we were working out there 5 nights a week in short sleeve shirts.

If anyone is in need of project help or broke down traveling through north Missouri my door (s) are always open.

Cheeseman-OUT!

Amazing. The perfect shop. Simple but everything you need.(nacho, hot dog machine, beer) not to mention the work space is a plus too. So jealous

Not "my" garage, this is the body shop i work at but I have access to it at anytime so this is where a lot of my wrenching gets done. 1 two post lift, alignment lift, frame rack, and 3 other lifts. so pretty much always have a place to wrench on the rig. Have just about anything i need. One of the few perks of working in a shop :clap:

Gonna resurrect a dead thread. Just moved into a new house and built myself a 10' x ~2' butcher block-style island/peninsula bench down the middle of the garage (resting on a set of 4' x 2' keystone-style shelves).

Made out of 2x6's ripped lengthwise, glued together, and sanded (jesus christ, so much sanding...). Only took the better part of a weekend to complete. Finished with Minwax Tung Oil Finish (not actually tung as I came to find out, but oh well - it'll work).

Nice! May this thread never die.

Hopefully not, I love seeing what people have done.
