Didn't you guys know "man cave" is no longer in vogue. The term is useless, ancient, gone, banned, out of here.

Come up to speed it is 2012 now.

Very nice looking shop. Wish I could keep mine that clean. Love the poster over the bench. Got the same one but mine is in the house. Here's a few pics of my shop. (old pics nothing recent)

75vette your a lucky bastard your man cave is just as nice as your vette

here is my horrifyingly small man closet it fits the c3 and that is it if i want to use my air compressor i have an extension cord plugged in while it is pulled out of the garage setting running in the drive way so i can get around the car in garage to actually work on it



if you look behind the car behind the recumbent bicycle beside the stacked tires around the boxes of my wifes crap you can see my shop press i can't wait to move i hate this garage

Hey Charles. Going to go faster now that deer season is over.
I really need to build a garage! I'm drooling a bit as I peruse these work areas.

Transformation of a dirt floor barn into a functional shop. Click on the pic for the slideshow. I did all the work by myself.

Not to offend anyone but everytime I hear the term 'm-cave' I have to suppress the urge to

I'd just call it a shop or better yet a garage.

The shot's are Car centered but here's an idea.

Outside of the Shop.



Bodywork and paint area.



Main shop.South end.



Main shop.North end.
