My workbench evolving. I bought some damaged wood from lowes that the girl rang up wrong, so I go 12 2x4x10's and 8 2x4x12's for $6. I used OSB paneling 23/32 for the work top and shelf, and 2x6's for the legs. It's 99.9% level and looks pretty good.





My pegboard frame on the wall: 1x3's connected by the kreg pocket hole jig system (that thing rocks)



Went a little overboard securing the pegboard to the frame, but better safe than sorry.



Starting to accessorize

 

All together now.



Total cost: minus accessories <$100

 

Looking good, you should consider painting the walls! I used a gloss white to better reflect light and easier cleanup of grease or dirt.

 

The walls will be painted once my color scheme has been decided. I've oly been in the house for a little over a month ya know

 

LOL, sounds like you're 3 weeks overdue...

 

movin on up.

 

Just moved into a new house Last July
Pics of the garage all empty:

After settling in a little bit:

Kinda tough to fit 2 cars and 2 motorcycles in there.
Fit 2 cars, 2 motorcycles, 2 bicycles and sets of rims in the garage before a big snow storm. Parking like this is a PAIN as you can imagine.


Hopefully I can paint the floors soon if I can find somewhere to put all this stuff for a couple days...

 

Built this 2-car plus in 2008. Been working on the interior ever since and here is where the MAX sits comfortable everyday.....



Enjoy
Mike

Ask me how to turn your garage floor into something special.

 

That's SWEET!!!

 

Nice garage man

 

i wish i had a garage

 

decided to build a new exhaust setup for the Mustang


Bought a baby miller for the thinner metal


My house garage, doesn't get much use besides storage


mainly detailing and light maintenance work

 

Have you put the Cummins in the Durango yet?

 

looks good - now paint it black so it looks "professional"

and yes, I'm only saying that because I hate bare wood in the garage, so I paint everything I make of wood with some cheap black brush-on paint I had mixed at home depot.

 

I like the wood look ...

I added two sets of shelves (3 shelves total). All made out of 2x4's and OSB paneling. I was able to hang off of them when they were finished



All loaded up



This one was built second and I was very happy with the results



All loaded up





Feels pretty custom now, and I'm pleased with the results

 

Specs on the camaro

 

Great job!!!

 

Thanks

 

slowly coming together. hope to have my office done by the end of the month.

 

A lot of space you have in there

 

need about 2x as much, thos 2 cars are permanent fixtures. hoping to build something next year.

 

Start using the walls. There's a lot of wasted space in there

 

Picture of garage during vq swap...

 

Here's my new garage after moving to FL. I probably threw out 90% of the junk that we had in NJ. That remaining 10% is in the two Walmart shelves and in the storage closet on the left. I love not having a center beam in the middle of the garage.

 

i tried hangin cars on the wall but it didn't work, so here's plan b:

 

Looks good man

 

nice garaages i cant wait to clean out mine an remodel it

 

Very nice and well organized =).

 

well since i live inna condo i dont have a garage, but i got this:

and this:
yay me!

 

I have never showed my garage. It has witnessed most of the building and recent decommissioning of my Maxima. Its now all gone, but I wanted to share what I have been up to over these last couple of months.

BEFORE MAXIMA PART-OUT: Blower and IC were already out



GARAGE SHELVES:




MAXIMA PARTOUT CARNAGE: Walls already painted in anticipation of Garaj Mahal








MAXIMA SHELL:



BEFORE GARAGE OVERHAUL: Maxima shell already gone




INTERIM STEP: Floor sealer and added lighting, shelves still up:




FINAL PRODUCT: Epoxy floor, new lighting, e-outlets, and cabinets

 

^

That is absolutely insane man, awesome renovation. I cant wait til I finally get a garage, hopefully it looks like 1/3 of what yours does. Awesome job seriously

 

I think you need another shelf for motor oil lol

 

where'd you get the wheel rack?

 

Tire rack sells a rack like that, I think it's 149 last time I checked ... OR ... you can make it yourself with pipe and fittings

 

I may need another motor oil shelf, that Viper oil pan uses 11 qts!!!!!!!!!!

I got my tire rack off amazon for $139 (LINK)





.

 

That is just so f'n clean

Are those gladiator storage products?

 

I was going to post new pics of mine, but I'll wait a while because I don't want to post after that ^^^

 

They are actually the Gladiator Cadet version (i.e. the cheaper version made by StackOn). The "real" Gladiator cabinets are just ridiculously expensive. I got everything you see above for a hair over a thousand through Amazon. They have gone up in price, but still reasonable. (LINK). I got the 6-piece, but ended up hanging the rolling two-door cabinet so that way I could put a stool/chair under my table.

The Gladiator version could have been something like $2500. There are minor differences. These Gladiator Cadet version a bit narrower (by like 3/4") and they don't have magnets on the doors (just a locking pin). Also, these are painted gloss black while the exterior of the Gladiator looks powder coated. Either way, they are both welded and will take the beating just fine.

 

I just spent way too many late nights redoing my garage. Even through record breaking 100* heat! I didnt take any before pix but one wall was blue, the drywall had only one coat of mud, there was 1 8' light, and the floor was bare, well it was carpeted. I planned on painting the floor and hanging new lights. I ended up mudding and sanding the joints and painting everything, top to bottom. I also caulked and sealed everwhere I could to keep insects out. I added some trim to help finish it off. Finally I ran conduit for 3 outlets for the new lighting. I had the 4' lights in my old garage, which was a 2 car. I will miss the square footage for sure. Good thing I have tons of daylight basement storage.





After about a month straight, all those counless hours, I feel like I could have done a better job. 2 part epoxy paint needs wait time after mixing, I rushed that and the floor is a bit uneven. Also the flakes are very random. DONT buy the cheap 5 gallon pail of wall paint. It takes 3+ coats to cover. Finally colored cove base would have looked very nice.

Time to move the tools!

 

looks good Jon. Would love to have those high ceilings. A compact lift would fit nicely in there
