Heres my shop that we just built, Only half my tools are in it, ive got alot more like 2 big boxes left to put in it along with all my other gooides, forgive me its a little dirty..

*general x* · 07-16-2012, 08:35 PM

Wow, that's a monter garage.

Got big plans for the inside (Drywall/vacuum/airline/other garage porn)?

My garage is far less organized in maybe half the space so don't feel too bad XP

MrSport · 07-16-2012, 11:23 PM

yeah, Like i said we have two big snap-on boxes plus another garage full of race car building tools, And we plan to have it heated/cooled as well as remote air compressor fittings 220v drop down extension cords a possible lift a few welders because im going to school for it, as well as redneck paint booth, and i want to fab a metals bench and ditch the wood one, plans are in the works just need to find time to wire it still. Also some talk of a drain system for washing my ex in the winter.

Yes we just got it up a month ago, we have a couple more tool boxes larger then the ones i have that will find a home there, We are putting in remote compressed air from my massive air compressor, a redneck paint booth. A Tig, Mig, Arc, and yes oxyacetylene.. Needless to say i have Alot of tools that will go in there. currently it seems Barron. And to make madders worse were getting even MORE tools from my step dads father that passed away hes got a full shop of tools to build race cars. I think were going to outgrow this garage as well.

Also i plan to put a fume extractor in there over the large welding table i plan to build, a exhaust for the paint booth, and a redneck wash bay for winters when if feel bad enough for my ex to wash it.

The shop is 42 ft X 38 ft Its got a ceiling height of about 14 feet.

You're gunna need to stick some of that stuff in the rafters to fit all of it in :P

Be sure to post an update when you've got it all roughed in; I, for one, love seeing garage porn.

MrSport · 07-18-2012, 12:04 AM

Its going to be ALOT of things in there, and we already have a few projects lined up, like that fox in there, a 79 f150 resto and a few tractors and possibly more..

we take the camper shell off our trac during the summer months and it usually sat on the garage floor taking up space. so i built this sweet cradle for it to get it off the ground. we tested it by putting about 150 lbs on it for a couple days and then checked for stress, then me and my buddy hung off of it and swung for good measure. the cool part is i got an extra shelf for camping gear now.

Damn you! Give me my 3 hours back!

I'm kidding. I've got a hell of a stomach flu and this kept me nicely occupied.
