Default Show me your shop, garage, ect......

Does your shop look like this while doing a small resto? Mine is usually pretty neat but this is getting ridicules....gotta quit getting on this darn forum and clean my shop.... I will get some after photos...

By the way Mark's Georgia 77 is one of the coolest...this isn't about the biggest or baddest, just where do you GITTER DONE



such a cool response to this thread thought I would show the whole shop...not just the pool table/work bench



what to do with old frig....





stairs....






top of stairs....







Man Cave up stairs....







My real passion....cars and bikes are a close second..gives me something to do in the off season...



God Bless America! I am soooo thankful to live in a place where we can do this stuff.....

Lotta nice stuff!!!

OK- When I bought my house -it did have a basement garage-

One car wide- and about 35' deep-

Both would fit but it was tight-




My 71 gets to reside down there-




So I decided to add another garage-

I had to be back 50' from the road so that limited me a bit- made it 24' x 32'

Here's the start-








Add a second story while I was at it...




Closed it...






Looks like its part of the house...still don't have room for my daily driver!!!


The cupola's roof - I made with fiberglass-






Here's a before and after-

What do you need a billiard table for in a Vette resto?

Everybody's shop/garage is a disaster during projects....at least I like to think they are to make me feel better

Pretty obvious to me..., the "triangle" serves as the basis for the tri-power air cleaner that he is aspiring too.

Not the nicest of garages, but its got real estate. I'm picky about cleanliness so it gets cleaned up after each day of work.

Not much, but it keeps the wind and rain off. I have actually moved some of the junk out since these were taken. Believe it or not I can actually get some work done.
