Garage Organized? Pics

a few more pictures of the rest of the building.

I built some separate little closet sized rooms for my hardware, the compressor/dust vacs, and reloading stuff. Then use the top of that for a mezzanine/ storage. I didn't want a set of stairs in the way all the time, and I'm not super fond of carrying stuff up ladders so I got a used set of catwalk stairs for $200 and a harbor freight winch to lift it !!!

I've really been enjoying seeing the ways other people organize, so I guess I might as well post my mess. This is the 3rd shop I have built in 15 years, and I have learned a bit every time. I try to keep everything I can off the floor, my solution to hanging jack stands was 2x4's and some .99 cent hangers from Home Depot at just the right angle !!

Goddamnit

Why'd you have to post a clean perfectly organized garage?

That's not a garage, it's a shop. Let me bust up in the kids go-cart thread and post my Lamborghini.

Must be nice having no hobbies and an empty shop.

Looks like he has the hobbies thing figured out

Your shop is what mine could look like - If swept regularly and was organized.

No shit. I'm planning on a shed one day to park mine under (trailer-port?) and everyone makes fun of me

Dudes got three of them in there.

The hardware room is a thing of beauty. Might just borrow the stair idea too.

The fold down stairs are very slick.

Had a buddy with a fold down ramp so he could park his lawnmower, dirtbikes and quads up in the loft. It was a slightly more sketchy creation though

Do you need a case of Mason jars to hold all your jelly?

Here's a few pics of my son's garage where he spends 12 hours a day wrenching.

He keeps it fairly squared away..

I'm not jelly of a stick framed gable roof building with sliding doors.

Here’s my 26x28. If I wasn’t into Suzukis I could never fit 3 vehicles.

Dude has a shop 1000 x better than anything I'll ever hope to have, and has hack lights.

Come on man, you put hubcaps on a ferrari.

 

[Steve300xcw]

looks pretty well lit to me

 

[Lilyota]

As clean as it'll ever be

Are you high on glue?

Those lights look great for seeing with, why make them great to look at?

Shop space is functional space IMHO, fuck making a HGTV "man cave".

Crap. cancels Amazon LED order

The lights seem ok, but I'd tuck those leads like a Thai hooker rather than have them dangling from the joists.

Sounds like someone's pissed he spent money on hard wiring UFOs only to have a bunch of shadows.

Well, maybe not quite pissed, but definitely "grumpy"

Hey, those LED lights were on sale for $16.88 at Bi Mart when I built the shop, and yes like 3-4 are daisy chained together.... I had the electrician put switched plugs on the end of every truss, and I just screwed the lights to the bottom of the trusses. by the time I got to the light phase of construction I was pretty much out of money, so cheap lights it was !!! Side note; the cheap LED's work awesome and the light is great, but they interfere with the radio signal..........Doh !!!! Its lights or music, but not both !!

Oh, and the redundant trailers: the car trailer because I like using nice car trailers, and with the split tail and the winch I can load anything no matter how low it is, running or not, and with the E track it's super easy to tie stuff down. The other 20' black trailer inside is a tilt for hauling the excavator or forklift, and yes, I could haul cars on it, but loading non running stuff on it is a bitch, and the fender height is too high to open the doors on most low-ish cars, so then I have to take them off, and fuck-it, I like having both trailers. The other old car trailer outside is for sale, and the little red trailer is a 14' I bought for hauling quads (that I no longer have) but it's pretty light and handy to have around so I kept it. And why are they inside? I have the room and I like nice clean non-faded trailers that aren't covered in bird shit and the wiring isn't eaten by rodents! I actually didn't plan on keeping the trailers inside, but I have less cars than I did at one time so might as well use it. My trailers all sat out at my last house, and if I get more cars, I guess they may again?

You don't have to defend yourself to anyone, especially a bunch of jealous jennifers on the internet. Fuck 'em.

Nice garage man, you done good! Thanks for posting.

What's the story on that airplane?

That's exactly what I did in my basement and garage and exaxtly what I'm going to do in every work area I install lights in going forward. It "just works" and it's basically future proof.

Thanks ! The plane is an old Reno race plane I saved from the dumpster. It's not really good for anything besides a conversation piece, but I can't turn down stuff like a free plane.......

It's a 1964 Polen Special, raced under the name "Lil Honey"
